In this deep dive session, we’ll demystify the common misconceptions about Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM). These misunderstandings stem from seven key misconceptions of the RCM process:

1. RCM seeks to analyze every Failure Mode
2. RCM is too time and resource intensive
3. RCM only produces a maintenance plan
4. Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is not included in RCM
5. The consideration of Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) is a separate process
6. RCM should be applied to all assets
7. RCM has serious weaknesses in an industrial environment

This presentation not only debunks each of the seven misconceptions surrounding RCM. It offers an overview of the RCM process while delving into key principles including the importance of writing Functions correctly, proper techniques for writing Failure Modes, and clarifying a vital yet commonly misunderstood Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) concept. It is enriched with practical insights from real-world examples. Nancy Regan guides attendees as they discover just how robust, powerful, and uncomplicated the RCM process really is.
