"An RCM process systematically identifies all of the asset’s functions and functional failures, and identifies all of its reasonably likely failure modes (or failure causes). It then proceeds to identify the effects of these likely failure modes, and to identify in what way those effects matter. Once it has gathered this information, the RCM process then selects the most appropriate asset management policy. " Excerpt from Standard To Define RCM by By Dana Netherton, American Management Systems, Inc. The complete document can be found at mt-online.com.
Even a basic RCM program can yield significant improvements in reducing unplanned downtime and extending the life of your critical assets. TabWare supports RCM programs by providing equipment data including failure information with components, conditions and actions taken. TabWare also provides preventive maintenance history in addition to corrective maintenance, unplanned replacements. It provides cost information, parts usage, labor costs and hours, and production losses due to planned and unplanned downtime. TabWare provides analysis of corrective versus preventive costs and can show capital improvements versus maintenance and repair costs.
TabWare can provide most of the information required for RCM programs and pinpointing areas for improvement.
Let us show you how an RCM program can improve your equipment uptime and add profits to your bottom line.
