The Rcm Solution: A Practical Guide to Starting and Maintaining a Successful Rcm Program

The RCM Solution is a straightforward, no-nonsense presentation of what RCM is and how it can be applied to maximize the productivity and safety of physical assets. It introduces and thoroughly embraces the proven power of RCM's basic principles and follows a common-sense and practical approach to implementation.

A significant portion of this book is dedicated to SAE JA1011-compliant RCM. Yet, the author also introduces other asset management processes that embody RCM principles when the full rigor of RCM isn't warranted. The RCM Solution therefore presents a total solution for implementing RCM in any organization.

Features

This book will be an invaluable guide to anyone responsible for physical asset management, at any level of authority, from an organization's maintenance manager to the organization's leader.

• The principles are presented generically and are equally applicable to any industry that has physical assets to care for, such as defense, manufacturing, mining, plastics, and power generation.
• Besides, instructors teaching reliability engineering at colleges and universities will find this book a useful complement to their primary text.
