Reliability-centred maintenance is a structured method for deciding what maintenance each asset needs to deliver its required function safely and cost-effectively. This course explains RCM principles and guides participants through functional analysis, failure modes and effects analysis, consequence evaluation and selection of maintenance tasks, including condition monitoring, scheduled restoration, replacement and run-to-failure. Participants apply RCM to an equipment case and learn how to implement and sustain RCM programmes.
