Reliability-Centered Maintenance provides valuable insights into current preventive maintenance practices and issues, while explaining how a transition from the current "preserve equipment" to "preserve function" mindset is the key ingredient in a maintenance optimization strategy. This book defines the four principal features of RCM and describes the nine essential steps to achieving a successful RCM program. There is an easy to follow example illustrating the Classical RCM systems analysis process using the water treatment system for a swimming pool. As well as the use of software in the system analysis process, making a specific recommendation on a software product to use. Additionally, this new edition possesses an appendix devoted to discussing an economic model that has been used successfully to decide the most cost effective use of maintenance. Top Level managers, engineers, and especially technicians who rely on PM programs in their plant operations can't afford to miss this inclusive guide to Reliability-Centered Maintenance. Includes detailed instructions for implementing and sustaining an RCM program for extremely cost effective manufacturing Presents seven real-world cross-industry RCM sucess case studies that have profited from this plan Provides essential information on how RCM focuses your maintenance organization to become a recognized "center for profit" Offers over 35 accumulated years of the authors' experiences in Lessons Learned for the proper use of RCM (and pitfalls to avoid)

In this book, I have explained two definitions of RCM, which is looking on the equipment side and the human side of doing it. Reliability-Centered maintenance is a process used to determine any physical asset's maintenance tasks, decisions, and requirements in its current or present operating context. It is also a process used to determine what must be done to ensure that any physical assets continue to do whatever their users want them to do in their present operating context. On the human and softer definition, RCM is a way or process of capturing and extracting the knowledge, understanding, and wisdom of the most experienced people in the plant and transforming it into a living document and their legacy. In most cases, when these good old folks go away and retire for good, they bring everything they know to their grave, and the plant hires fresh employees with little or no experience and starts everything from the very beginning. We just want to put a stop to this never-ending cycle. The main reason why I wrote this book is that doing RCM in a manufacturing plant is a bit different from doing RCM in oil and gas, power plants, and other similar plants because their equipment losses are different, although the process on how RCM is done will be the same. If you worked in a semi-conductor plant, breakdowns and failures are not the main issues, but minor-stoppages, changeover, or quality problems are. You must know the boundary between what RCM can address and what it cannot. RCM will address failures and breakdowns by proposing tasks; it is not designed to address every possible equipment loss. What I am saying is that failures are just a subset of the entire equipment losses. Suppose you have chronic quality problems caused by the equipment; RCM can address some of them, but not all, since Quality problems and defects are much broader than breakdown and failures. I have a detailed explanation of what particular losses RCM can and cannot address in Chapter 3.3.2 of this book. This book is written to help industries implementing RCM on their machines, equipment, and assets. Here is a summary of the Chapters of this book. I have also explained in this book how to implement RCM more successfully by restoring the equipment first. If the plant is implementing Total Productive Maintenance, the integration of these two methodologies is explained in detail in this book.

This book depicts the life and struggle of maintenance in seeking better ways and means to improve the reliability of the equipment and assets. The author shares his experience on how to achieve such feat. Transitioning from a reactive to a proactive maintenance stage is not an easy tasks but it is not also an impossible tasks. What the author believes is that the key to everything is educating the maintenance people on what maintenance is all about. Training is where we acquire knowledge to develop the skills required to do our job right. This book contains real life stories, struggles and actual experiences by the author in his career in maintenance and currently as a Reliability and Maintenance Consultant. Every industry must change their paradigm and realize that maintenance are not repair people. The meaning of the word maintain is simply to preserve our equipment and assets. And we can only preserve our assets if maintenance are equipped with the right knowledge on how to perform their jobs right the first time around. I have written this book in order to reach out to industries in search of discovering ways to improve not only their equipment and assets but as well as their maintenance human resources. Remember that maintenance is not a department, it is not a function or any organization but rather maintenance are humble and down to earth human being, hence let us provide them with the respect that they truly deserve because that is all they ask for.

A properly implemented and managed RCM program can save millions in unscheduled maintenance and breakdowns. However, many have found the process daunting. Written by an expert with over 30 years of experience, this book introduces innovative approaches to simplify the RCM process such as: single vs. multiple failure analysis, hidden failures analysis, potentially critical components analysis, run-to-failure and the difference between redundant, standby, and backup functions. Included are real life examples of flawed preventive maintenance programs and how they led to disasters that could have easily been avoided. Also illustrated in detail, with real-life examples, is the step-by-step process for developing, implementing, and maintaining a premier classical RCM program. Senior management, middle management, supervisors, and craftsmen/technicians responsible for plant safety and reliability will find this book to be invaluable as a means for establishing a first class preventive maintenance program.
