Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a maintenance strategy that focuses on the prevention of equipment failure and the optimization of maintenance activities. It is a systematic approach to the identification and analysis of potential equipment failures and the subsequent development of strategies to prevent or minimize the consequences of such failures. RCM is based on the concept of preventive maintenance, which seeks to identify and address potential problems before they occur. The goal of RCM is to maximize the reliability of equipment while minimizing the cost of maintenance. RCM involves a comprehensive analysis of the system and its components, including the identification of potential failure modes, the evaluation of their likelihood and consequences, and the development of strategies to address them. RCM also includes the development of a maintenance plan that is tailored to the specific needs of the system and its components. The maintenance plan should be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that it is up-to-date and effective. RCM is an important tool for improving the reliability of equipment and minimizing the cost of maintenance.
