A structured methodology for determining the most effective maintenance strategy based on asset functions, failure modes and operational consequences.
Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a systematic methodology used to determine the most appropriate maintenance strategy for physical assets by evaluating their intended functions, potential failure modes, failure consequences and operational context. RCM applies reliability engineering principles to select maintenance activities that preserve system functionality while optimizing safety, reliability and lifecycle costs.
Reliability-Centered Maintenance determines the most effective maintenance strategy based on asset functions, failure consequences and operational requirements.
Originally developed within the aviation industry, Reliability-Centered Maintenance has been widely adopted across asset-intensive industries as a structured approach to maintenance optimization and asset management.
Reliability-Centered Maintenance determines the most appropriate maintenance strategy for each asset, whereas Preventive Maintenance defines one specific maintenance approach that may result from an RCM analysis.
