    Is RCM a form of Reliability Analysis (RA)? RA is the counting of failure and suspension events in order to understand the behavior pattern of  a component or failure mode. RCM practitioners sometimes refer to the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) process as “reliability analysis”. However, this is confusing. RCM Analysis (as opposed to RA), precisely…

    There is not a huge difference between the various flavors of the process of RCM (for example SRCM, JA-1011, Turbo RCM, and many others). The differences are mostly in terminology and details rather than in the actual concepts. The SAE JA-1011 minimum requirements for RCM provide the simplest, quickest, and at the same time the…

    FMEA stands for “Failure Modes and Effects Analysis”. It begins with a thorough functional analysis. FMEA is the core process of RCM. However, the FMEA article in Wikipedia is misleading. It uses outdated terminology that renders the subject of FMEA vague, confusing, and even mystical. FMEA depends on clarity.  Maintenance depends on clear and simple terms…

    Criticality Analysis may be applied at two levels of the RCM process. First, it may be used to sort  or classify a large number of equipment assets as to their priority for analysis. Secondly criticality analysis may be applied to individual failure modes as in the FMECA process. Criticality analysis when performed on failure modes…
