Maintenance of Supplies and Equipment, Guide to Reliability-Centered Maintenance

Abstract

This pamphlet is a guide for Army representatives and contractors who write and develop a detailed maintenance plan for system/equipment using the Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) philosophy. It explains in detail how to use the RCM logic and the failure mode, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) to develop a scheduled maintenance plan which includes the maintenance task and the maintenance interval for preventive maintenance checks and services (PMCS) and provides information for overhaul, age exploration, economic analysis, and redesign. RCM analysis is used to obtain the detailed maintenance plan which provides the basis for the scheduled maintenance workload for the system/ equipment. It is an integral component of Logistic Support Analysis and continues for the life cycle of the equipment/system.
