RCM is a process to determine what must be

done to ensure that a physical asset continues

to do what its users want it to do

RCM focuses on reducing failure consequences,

via a Risk Management Tool

without compromising safety or operating

capability Standard maintenance decision logic

RCM was started in the airline industry becausetraditional methods based on preventing asset

deterioration rather than minimizing failure

consequences were too costly and not effective (1965)

As the RCM process was adopted by other industries,

it was streamlined and simplified

The foundation for modern RCM was published in the

book Reliability-Centered Maintenance, Second Editionby John Moubray (1992)

SAE JA1011 & JA1012 standardized latest RCM

(1998)

While there is a theoretical optimal PM level that minimizes cost, in the real world

there are both too many and too few PMs being performed in a plant.

The RCM Process consists of 4 Major Steps

1. Set Asset Priorities

2. Identify asset functions, performance standards, and

functional failures, failure mode and failure effects &

consequences

3. Failure mode risk analysis

4. Failure management policies




Step 1. Set Asset Priorities

First Application Assets (new machines)

Assets with historically high maintenance

Assets based on operational criticality (i.e. single path)

Assets with high multiples



Step 2. Component Washer Pump Example

1) Performance Standards - What are the

functions and associated desired standards of

performance of the asset in its present

operating context (functions)?

2) Sub-system Functional Failure -

In what ways can it fail to fulfill its

functions (functional failures)?

and xx GPM flow for each application

specification limits

Step 2. Component Washer Pump Example

3) Cause- What causes

each functional failure

(failure modes)?

4) Effect- What happens

when each failure occurs

(failure effects)?

5) Consequence- In what way

does each failure matter

(failure consequences)?
