Abstract

Reliability centred maintenance (RCM) is a method for maintenance planning that was developed within the aircraft industry and later adapted to several other industries and military branches. A high number of standards and guidelines have been issued where the RCM methodology is tailored to different application areas, e.g., IEC 60300-3-11, MIL-STD-217, NAVAIR 00-25-403 (NAVAIR 2005), SAE JA 1012 (SAE 2002), USACERL TR 99/41 (USACERL 1999), ABS (2003, 2004), NASA (2000) and DEF-STD 02-45 (DEF 2000). On a generic level, IEC 60300-3-11 (IEC 1999) defines RCM as a “systematic approach for identifying effective and efficient preventive maintenance tasks for items in accordance with a specific set of procedures and for establishing intervals between maintenance tasks.” A major advantage of the RCM analysis process is a structured, and traceable approach to determine the optimal type of preventive maintenance (PM). This is achieved through a detailed analysis of failure modes and failure causes. Although the main objective of RCM is to determine the preventive maintenance, the results from the analysis may also be used in relation to corrective maintenance strategies, spare part optimization, and logistic consideration. In addition, RCM also has an important role in overall system safety management.
