Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM): Implementation Made Simple
Maximize Efficiency, Output, and Quality with RCMRCM (Reliability-Centered Maintenance) can save millions of dollars in repair and equipment failure costs -- but it can be difficult to implement without  proper guidance. Written by an expert with more than thirty years' experience, this resource offers innovative approaches and practical advice to simplify and facilitate the introduction and management of the RCM process.Measurable, real-world, benefits:Maximize maintenance operationsImprove accuracy and organization of reliability dataDecrease maintenance costsEnhance manufacturing operationsReduce work order backlogWith this guide, readers will be able to implement a maintenance strategy that will maximize their plant and equipment life-cycle while increasing safety, quality, and output. Readers will find clear, real-world coverage of essential RCM topics such as:Single vs. multiple failure analysisCost considerationsHidden failuresCritical componentsRun-to-failureAn explanation of redundant, standby, and backup functionsDevelop an effective, dollar-saving maintenance strategy: Why RCM Has Been So Difficult to Implement; RCM: The Next Plateau &#8211; Fundamental RCM; Classical RCM Implementation Made Simple; The Implementation Process; Typical Examples of "Golden Nuggets"; A RCM Living Program.
