- Abstract
- RCM is an on-going process which determines the optimum mix of reactive, preventive, predictive, and proactive maintenance practices in order to provide the required reliability at the minimum cost. The principal features of each strategy are shown below their block in Figure 1-1. These maintenance strategies, rathern than being applied independently, are integrated to take advantage of their respective strengths in order to optimize facility and equipment operability and efficiency within the given constraints.
