2-1 RCM

This document discusses Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), which is a process for determining the maintenance requirements of systems. There are three main types of RCM - classical/rigorous, abbreviated/intuitive, and streamlined. Classical RCM provides the most detailed analysis but is also the most resource intensive. Abbreviated RCM implements obvious maintenance tasks with minimal analysis but can miss some failures. Streamlined RCM is used when failure consequences are minor and system functions are well understood. The RCM process involves analyzing systems, their possible failures, and determining appropriate preventative or condition-based maintenance tasks.

Consequences of failure
Probability of failure
Historical data available
Risk tolerance
Resource availability
Classical/Rigorous RCM

Benefits :provides the most knowledge


and data concerning system functions,
failure modes, and maintenance actions
addressing functional failures rather than
any of the RCM approaches.
Concerns:
based primarily on the FMEA
extremely labor intensive
Classical/Rigorous RCM
Applications
Should be limited to the following three situations:
The consequences of failure result in catastrophic
risk in terms of environment, health, or safety,
and/or complete economic failure of the business
unit.
The resultant reliability and associated
maintenance cost is still unacceptable after
performing and implementing a streamlined type
FMEA.
The system/equipment is new to the organization
and insufficient corporate maintenance and
operational knowledge exists on function and
functional failures.
Abbreviated/Intuitive/Streamlined
RCM
Benefits :Implements the obvious,
usually condition-based, tasks with
minimal analysis.
Concerns: Can introduce errors into the
process that may lead to missing hidden
failures where a low probability of
occurrence exists.
Abbreviated/Intuitive/Streamlined
RCM Applications
Should be utilized when :
The function of the system/equipment
is well understood.
Functional failure of the
system/equipment will not result in
loss of life or catastrophic impact on
the environment or business unit.
RCM Analysis

What does the system or equipment do; what


are the functions?
What functional failures are likely to occur?
What are the likely consequences of these
functional failures?
What can be done to reduce the probability of
the failure(s), identify the onset of failure(s), or
reduce the consequences of the failure(s)?
Outcomes

Perform Condition-Based actions (CM).


Perform Interval (Time- or Cycle-) Based
actions (PM).
Determine that redesign will solve the problem
and accept the failure risk, or determine that
no maintenance action will reduce the
probability of failure install redundancy.
Perform no action and choose to repair
following failure (Run-to-Failure)
RCM Logic Tree
System and System Boundary
A system is any user-defined group of
components, equipment, or facilities that
support an operational requirement.
A system boundary or interface definition
contains a description of the inputs and
outputs that cross each boundary.
The facility envelope is the physical barrier
created by a building, enclosure, or other
structure; e.g., a cooling tower or tank.
Standardize on selecting boundaries.
Function and Functional Failure

The function defines the performance


expectation and can have many
elements.
Functional failures are descriptions of the
various ways in which a system or
subsystem can fail to meet the functional
requirements designed into the
equipment.
Failure Modes

Failure modes are equipment- and


component-specific failures that result in
the functional failure of the system or
subsystem.
Not all failure modes or causes warrant
preventive or conditioned based
maintenance.
Reliability

Reliability is the probability that an item


will survive a given operating period,
under specified operating conditions,
without failure usually expressed as B10
(L10) Life and/or Mean Time to Failure
(MTTF) or Mean Time Between Failure
(MTBF).
