Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)

Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a strategic approach used to ensure that systems continue to operate reliably. It focuses on identifying what can go wrong with equipment, understanding the consequences of failures, and prioritizing maintenance tasks based on their impact on safety, operations, and costs. By analyzing how and why failures occur, organizations can implement targeted maintenance practices that improve equipment reliability and efficiency while reducing unnecessary maintenance efforts. RCM ultimately helps organizations maximize the lifespan of their assets and minimize downtime, leading to more effective and cost-efficient operations.
