Everyday RCM
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a time-honored, proven process that helps organizations achieve their Maintenance and Reliability goals. But, it’s often misunderstood and misapplied. In “Everyday RCM,” Nancy Regan sets forth RCM’s principles and purpose in a straightforward (and often fun!) manner using “everyday” examples. (She even gets Elvis, Batman, Chewbacca, and Vegas showgirls involved to help debunk some of RCM’s biggest misconceptions.) Enjoy!
How to Succeed at RCM (Part 3): Successful Planning
A longer video from Nancy with an introduction to the reliability centered maintenance, proactive maintenance, plus the anatomy of a well-planned RCM program.

In this video we touch on all 7 steps of the RCM process as we introduce one of the most important aspects of the application of RCM…asking the people who really know!

I have a service that regularly monitors my home for termites. Using RCM, let’s determine if this Condition Based Maintenance task is both technically appropriate and worth doing.

TVs Are “Risky” Business
When it comes to managing risk, there are three elements to consider and RCM can help you define all three. Watch as I manage risk and change consequences all at once!
- What happens when the failure occurs?
- How likely is it that the failure would occur?
- Is the risk tolerable?
Why should I learn about RCM?
Have you ever tried to implement any asset improvement activity but it didn’t go so well? Couldn’t rally the troops? Couldn’t get the kind of management buy-in that you really needed to get things off the ground? If so, you’re not alone.
I’ve read too many articles describing that up to 70% of asset improvement initiatives fail. And I think it’s because a lot of people don’t have a basic understanding of maintenance and reliability principles. So they don’t understand why “change” needs to take place.
[Read more…]What Kinds of Assets can RCM be Applied to?
Air, sea, space, land, or underground? Commercial, government, or military? Reliability Centered Maintenance has something for everyone!
Absolutely. In fact, in Stanley Nowlan and Howard Heap’s book on RCM, they state:
The content of scheduled-maintenance programs developed by experienced practitioners of MSG-2 techniques may be quite similar to the programs resulting from RCM analysis, but the RCM approach is more rigorous, and there should be much more confidence in its outcome. The RCM technique can also be learned more quickly and is more readily applicable to complex equipment other than transport aircraft.
[Read more…]The moment I applied RCM principles on my own body…
In this video, we use RCM principles to decide if I should accept the consequences of failure or visit the dentist to eliminate the Failure Mode.

After 23 years, I finally figured out that achieving our own personal and professional goals is similar to how we achieve our Reliability goals. Crush the Obstacles and Bring Your Goals Alive. Watch to find out more…
[Read more…]Is RCM too Difficult to Implement?
Absolutely not. This is one of the biggest misconceptions of the RCM process. Discover why it is often wrongly believed that RCM is too difficult to implement.

[Read more…]Are RCM Principles Complex?
Eighteen years ago, at a small restaurant in Bath, England, a former head of the Royal Navy’s RCM program said something very poignant to me. It answers this question.
[Read more…]At What Point in an Asset’s Lifecycle Should RCM be Applied?
To maximize the benefits, RCM should be applied as early in the lifecycle as possible, beginning with the design stage. But, most RCM analyses are done on legacy assets – in other words – on assets that are already fielded. And many are initiated decades after the system was fielded – especially in the case of government and military equipment.
What is Reliability Centered Maintenance?
RCM is one of the most powerful maintenance and reliability improvement processes out there. The name Reliability Centered Maintenance lends itself to a process that’s used to develop proactive maintenance for an asset – and it is. But RCM can be used to formulate scores of solutions that reach far beyond maintenance.
