5. Reliability-based maintenance (RBM) methods
5.1 Origins and applications
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) was developed in the aerospace industry with the aim of guaranteeing the operational reliability of equipment at its design level, and preventing failures through preventive maintenance techniques. MBF focuses on identifying critical equipment whose failure could have serious consequences for the company's objectives (safety, availability, costs, maintainability, quality, etc.). In order to be able to select only critical equipment, the various international standards or best practices adopted in industrial sectors propose methods for assessing their criticality. This chapter presents methods that rely solely on the judgement of equipment experts. For further information on the MBF/RCM methodology, please refer to...
