Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)
Maintenance definition:
RCM is a strategic approach to maintenance planning that focuses on maintaining the inherent reliability of machinery and equipment based on the understanding of their operational contexts and the consequences of failure. RCM involves identifying critical functions, potential failure modes, and the most effective maintenance strategies to prevent or mitigate failures, aiming to ensure safety, optimize operational performance, and reduce maintenance costs.
