Reliability & RCM | What Is It & What to Expect?

In this video, Brian Brzinski from AMSS Consulting explains reliability-centered maintenance (RCM). RCM originated from a study by Nolan and Heap for the airline industry, specifically to help DC-10 planes get operational. Formal terms for RCM are defined by SAE formats JA 1011 and JA 1012. RCM involves a cross-functional team creating a comprehensive maintenance plan to manage a system's tools and mitigation strategies. This process is labor-intensive, thorough, and requires ongoing analysis rather than a one-time effort.
