Reliability-Centered Maintenance

Maximize Asset Reliability with Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM)

Our Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) approach is designed to help you maximize the reliability and availability of your assets by identifying crippling failures and implementing effective maintenance strategies. With our focus on root cause analysis and failure analysis, we can help you identify the underlying causes of equipment failures and develop maintenance strategies or action plans that prevent future reoccurrence. Whether you’re in the oil and gas, chemical, or manufacturing industry, our RCM approach can help you increase uptime and reduce maintenance costs.

What is Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM)?

Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a comprehensive approach to maintenance that focuses on identifying the most effective maintenance strategies for each asset based on its failure modes and effects. Our RCM approach involves a systematic analysis of your equipment to determine the most appropriate maintenance plan to reduce the risk of failure and ensure maximum reliability. The approach is based on a thorough understanding of the assets and their failure modes, ensuring that effective maintenance strategies can be developed to meet your specific needs.

How Does RCM Work?

Our RCM approach involves a four-step process:

Identify functions and performance standards
We start by identifying the functions of each asset and the performance standards required to meet your operational goals.
Identify failure modes and effects
We analyze each asset to identify the potential failure modes. their frequency, and their effects on performance.
Develop maintenance strategies
Based on the identified failure modes, we develop effective maintenance strategies that reduce the occurrence of failure and ensure maximum reliability.
Implement and monitor
We implement the maintenance strategies and monitor their effectiveness, making adjustments as needed to ensure ongoing asset reliability.

Benefits of RCM for Asset Reliability

Our RCM approach offers many benefits, including:

Improved asset reliability: Our RCM approach helps you identify crippling failures and develop effective maintenance strategies that reduce downtime and improve uptime.
Maintenance cost savings: By removing ineffective maintenance strategies or tasks, our RCM approach will help you reduce maintenance costs while improving asset reliability.
Root cause analysis: Our focus on root cause analysis helps you identify the underlying causes of equipment failures, enabling you to develop more effective maintenance strategies and to prevent similar failures.
Maintenance strategy development: Our RCM approach helps you develop maintenance strategies that are tailored to the specific goals of your assets and operations. This includes developing preventive maintenance plans and optimizing maintenance activities.
