This document provides an overview of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and how to implement it successfully. It discusses the objectives of RCM, which are to optimize asset performance and utilization of resources. The key steps are: selecting critical assets, performing a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis to identify effective tasks, addressing challenges, and using tools like the 7 questions framework. Implementing an RCM program requires establishing roles, goals, selecting systems for analysis, describing functions and standards, identifying failure modes and effects, assessing consequences, and determining predictive, preventative or other maintenance tasks. The overall aims are improving equipment effectiveness, reliability and minimizing costs over an asset's lifecycle.
