NASA RELIABILITY CENTERED MAINTENANCE (RCM) GUIDE FOR FACILITIES AND COLLATERAL EQUIPMENT (SEP 2008)

NASA RELIABILITY CENTERED MAINTENANCE (RCM) GUIDE FOR FACILITIES AND COLLATERAL EQUIPMENT (SEP 2008)., Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) and variations thereof are employed by thousands of public and private organizations world-wide to address a host of reliability issues in order to improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) while controlling the Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) inherent with Asset Management and Facility Stewardship. With each new RCM practitioner, new ideas and applications for RCM are discovered, which in turn improves the RCM process. Professional organizations have formed or expanded as the number of RCM practitioners has grown. The role of RCM in organizations has expanded past the development of maintenance tasks based on Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to include the following: Sustainability; Energy Efficiency; Commissioning; Recommissioning, and Retro-commissioning; Maintainability; Age Exploration; & Reliability Analysis
