IntroductionL t 1970’ h d i f t• Late 1970’s ushered in a new era of asset maintenance
• United States Department of Defense published the seminal book entitled Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM)
• Entire industries have grown from this one gbook

Definition of RCM• “a logical discipline for the development of
scheduled maintenance programs.” – Nolan and p gHeap
• “Reliability-centered Maintenance: a process used toReliability centered Maintenance: a process used to determine what must be done to ensure that any physical asset continues to do what its users wantedphysical asset continues to do what its users wanted it to do in its present operating context.” – John MoubrayMoubray

Definitions of RCM• RCM is “the best way to develop a maintenance
improvement program ” A M Smithimprovement program. – A.M. Smith• “RCM uses a cross-functional team to develop a
l t i t t t d i d tcomplete maintenance strategy designed to ensure inherent design reliability for a process or piece of
i t ” D Pl k ttequipment.” – Doug Plucknett• RCM “is to identify components whose functional
failures can cause unwanted consequences to ones plant or facility.” – Neil Bloom

But There is MoreBut There is More• It is intuitively obvious that components will fail• It is possible to intervene in some way to try to
prevent all failuresp• It is equally intuitively obvious that no company can
afford to try to prevent all failuresafford to try to prevent all failures• The primary purpose of RCM is to identify the

Operational Impact• Every component failure has some degree of
operational impact• Direct operational impact ranges from shutting
down to none• Indirect operational impact is to drain resources• Every failure requires resources that could be more• Every failure requires resources that could be more

FMECA
• Importance of FMECA to RCM process cannot be overstated
• Understanding operational impact of failure is crucial to developing appropriate interventioncrucial to developing appropriate intervention
• “a good FMECA will not guarantee a good RCM analysis but a bad FMECA will guarantee a badanalysis but a bad FMECA will guarantee a bad RCM analysis.”

Relating Failure to Intervention• Failure characteristic defines intervention• Scheduled overhaul/replacement would not work for
infant mortality characteristic• A random failure characteristic is more appropriate a do a u e c a acte st c s o e app op ate
for applying a predictive maintenance• A wear out characteristic would benefit from either• A wear out characteristic would benefit from either

Conclusion• Each RCM process available today applies the CORE
Principles of RCM to varying degree• Degree applied is indicative of overall benefit• If CORE Principles of RCM applied superficially - some
but limited benefit• More rigorous application of the CORE Principles of RCM
- enhanced benefits• Degree to which CORE Principles of RCM are applied
ff f l iaffects cost of analysis• The more a company is willing to invest in RCM the more
b fit th tbenefit they can expect© 2012 CORE Principles, LLC, all rights reserved 33
