Reliability Centered Maintenance. Reliability Engineering and Asset Risk Management

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - Metal Engineering / Metal Processing / Metal Structure, Cranfield University (Cranfield University), course: OOTSE, language: English, abstract: This paper is going to focus on a maintenance method that provides reliability to a functional system and in a cost-effective manner, known as Reliability centered maintenance technique or RCM. RCM is simply referred to as the idea of considering the lasting reliability of a system. It includes coming up with ideas and ways of maintaining the system, and to make sure it is reliable throughout its expected life period.

In practice this often means choosing systems that are readily accessible off-the-shelf and which are since commonly used. It also includes examining for reliability and acceptable installation at the time of acquiring the asset. Key issues are system harmony, reliability and maintainability, assessment, and acceptance testing.
