RCM - Reliability Centered Maintenance Basic questions answered by RCM: 1.What are the functions of the considered item? 2.What are its failure modes? 3.What are the causes and effects of all failures modes in Fault Tree view? 4.What are the end causes of a system failure, their frequencies, probabilities, restoration cost, time and full damage? 5.What are the end effects of each lower cause, their absolute and conditional probability? 6.What actions should prevent the failure mode? (Preventive Maintenance Schedule dialog is opened where user can define PM actions and see the PMO module recommendations) 7.What actions should correct the failure mode if it occurs anyway? (Failure modes dialog are opened with corrective tasks for each step of the failure cause restoration and all required resources: personnel, materials, support equipment, facilities and utilities) RCM user interface presents a decision workflow to help user selecting appropriate answers for questions 6 and 7
·RCM process and reports are similar to MSG-3 standard
·RCM reports are generated by using input data and user decisions:
-All required tasks which eliminate critical Lowest Failure Cause by performing Preventive or Corrective maintenance
-All required resources for maintenance in each repair site
