Welcome to another insightful video where we dive into the world of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM). I’m Nancy Regan, and today we’re tackling an important question: Do redundant systems require RCM?
Redundant systems, or protective devices, are vital because often they are our last line of defense when primary systems fail. But does this mean they need the same level of scrutiny as other systems?
In this video, we’ll define what makes a system ‘redundant,’ distinguish between evident and hidden functions, and explain why even these systems cannot be overlooked in RCM analysis. Using practical examples from both home and commercial settings, I’ll show you the critical role these systems play and how to properly incorporate them into your RCM analysis.
Whether you’re managing a single backup pump or an entire plant’s safety systems, understanding how to analyze and maintain redundant systems is key to managing multiple failures properly.
