Abstract

This paper aims to clarify the importance of applying the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) methodology on critical systems. The RCM is a well-established methodology in determining and optimizing preventive maintenance strategies. The chapter shows the importance of having reliable systems in process plants through presenting case studies. The number of maintenance orders before and after the implementation of RCM has been remarkably reduced. The associated costs and equipment availability were also improved. The economic benefits, the impact of applying RCM, and cost optimization were also presented. Appling reliability tools (RCM) on plant’s critical systems enable organization to ensure the reliability and availability of equipment in order to achieve the annual production target.
