You must have

4. Nearly all organizations
don't have adequate
historical data found in
databases to successfully
carry out an RCM analysis.
Here's what I mean...
The Reality of
Historical Data

5. Identifying items with high failure rates
and high maintenance man-hours
Allowing an organization to focus in on
problem areas
Prioritizing systems that would benefit
from RCM Analysis
Historical Data is often
Effective for

6. Determining if a proactive maintenance
task is worth doing
Identifying Failure Finding task intervals
But...
Historical Data is often
Effective for

7. Reports only what failed
Describes what was done to repair
the failure rather than what caused it
(e.g. removed and replaced bearing)

Where Historical Data
Falls Short

8. Doesn't describe failures that are
currently being prevented
Doesn't identify failures that haven't

9. It's found in the minds of
the equipment experts!
Organizations DO Have
Adequate Data

10. The equipment
The operating Environment and
operational tempo
What is required from the machine
Have significant experience and
understand
And...
Equipment Experts

11. What can go wrong
What happens when something fails
How each failure matters
AND WHEN ASKED THE RIGHT
QUESTIONS, CAN DETERMINE WHAT
TO DO ABOUT EACH FAILURE
Equipment Experts
are in the Best Position
to Know

12. RCM memorializes the expertise and
experience of equipment experts.
Reliability Centered
Maintenance
A Facilitated Working Group
approach to RCM analysis
doesn't just help you
formulate a maintenance plan.

13. Equipment experts are the untapped
gold in any organization.
They know where the vulnerabilities
lay, and they know what to do about
them.
Capitalize on this vital resource.
Equipment Experts
