    The purpose of this entire website is to convey to the maintenance management and engineering world the indispensable Living RCM (LRCM) approach towards continuous improvement in maintenance. The videos on this page will demonstrate how the LRCM philosophy and methodology accomplish the desired objective, which we state as “Achieving Reliability from Data”. CBM Sensitivity Analysis…

  • Automating CBM

    It has been said, with considerable justification, that a condition based maintenance policy is of little practical use to a maintenance organization unless it can be automated. Proliferating oceans of condition data have outpaced the limited human resources that can be dedicated to CBM decision making. The solution is to automate CBM – not only…

  • RCM boundaries and Living RCM

    In performing your RCM analysis on this butterfly valve, you decided to treat the hydraulic system as a separate analysis. You drew the boundary in such a way that the cylinder-actuator belongs to the hydraulic system and not to the valve. That is perfectly legitimate. You can draw the boundaries in any way that you…

  • LRCM reliability technician survey results

    These are the results of a survey of a group of 9 technicians tasked to interact with the new Mesh work order closure form. This alternative entry method, a feature of “Living RCM” is meant to improve data quality for eventual reliability analysis.  Mesh LRCM has two principal objectives. First, to ensure analyzable work order data,…
