INTRODUCTION
Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) is based on the following precepts:
• A failure is an unsatisfactory condition. There are two types of failures: functional failures, usually reported by operating engineering staff, and potential failures, usually discovered by maintenance engineering staff.
• The consequences of a functional failure determines the priority of maintenance effort. These consequences fall into four categories:
- Safety consequences, involving possible loss of the equipment and its occupants
- Operational consequences, which involve an indirect economic loss as well as the direct cost of repair
- Nonoperational consequences, which involve only the direct cost of repair
- Hidden-failure consequences, which involve exposure to a possible multiple failure as a result of the undetected failure of a hidden function
A reliability-centered maintenance program includes only those tasks which satisfy the criteria for both applicability and effectiveness. The applicability of a task is determined by the characteristics of the item, and its effectiveness is defined in terms of the consequences the task is designed to prevent.
• There are four basic types of tasks that engineers can perform, each of which is applicable under a unique set of conditions. The first three tasks are directed at preventing functional failures of the items to which they are assigned and the fourth is directed at preventing a multiple failure involving that item:
- On-condition inspections of an item to find and correct any potential failures
- Rework (overhaul) of an item at or before some specified age limit
- Discard of an item (or one of its parts) at or before some specified life limit
- Failure-finding inspections of a hidden-function item to find and correct functional failures that have already occurred but were not evident to the operating engineering staff.
The RCM decision diagram provides a logical tool for determining which scheduled tasks are either necessary or desirable to protect the safety and operating capability of the equipment.
• The resulting set of RCM tasks is based on the following considerations:
- The consequences of each type of functional failure
- The visibility of a functional failure to the operating crew (evidence that a failure has occurred)
- The visibility of reduced resistance to failure (evidence that a failure is imminent)
- The age-reliability characteristics of each item
- The economic tradeoff between the cost of scheduled maintenance and the benefits to be derived from it
• A multiple failure, resulting from a sequence of independent failures, may have consequences that would not be caused by any one of the individual failures alone. These consequences are taken into account in the definition of the failure consequences for the first failure.
• A defauIt strategy governs decision making in the absence of full information or agreement. This strategy provides for conservative initial decisions, to be revised on the basis of information derived from operating experience.
