... Organization Training Role of computer software Data gathering Implementation Each process offers an approach to these issues that is intended to enable an organization to perform the technical process of RCM in the most efficient way. Many organizations find the benefits of RCM so valuable...
Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) is a systematic methodology for preventing failures. This article begins by discussing the history of RCM and uses Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) all-industry standard JA1011 as its model to describe the key characteristics of an RCM process. It then expands on questions involved in RCM process, offering definitions when necessary. Next, the article describes the approach of RCM to failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), the failure management policies available under RCM, and the criteria of RCM for deciding when a specific failure management policy is technically feasible. Then, after discussing the ways that RCM classifies failure effects in terms of consequences, it describes how RCM uses failure consequences to identify the best failure management policy for each failure mode. Next, the building blocks of RCM are put together to create a failure management program. The article ends with a discussion on some practical issues pertaining to RCM that lie outside the scope of SAE JA1011.
... maintenance Term Definition in RCM Age A measure of exposure to stress. Computed from the moment an item or component enters service when new or reenters service after a task designed to restore its initial capability. Can be measured in terms of calendar time, running time, distance traveled...
... programming can be applied to PTP systems, but it is too complex for contouring systems. Therefore, a great number of computer software systems have been developed to assist in NC part programming. The APT system is the most widespread and the most comprehensive one.
