Reliability Centered Maintenance

There are different maintenance requirements for each asset. For example, some components fail consistently at a certain age, while others can be used indefinitely if properly maintained. Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) involves establishing and maintaining an asset-specific maintenance plan to ensure that all equipment functions as designed, with good reliability and availability, and at the lowest possible cost. This course reviews the principles of reliability-centered maintenance, differentiates between the different modes of maintenance, and describes analysis methods used in developing effective maintenance plans.
