How A Major Pulp Paper Manufacturer Reduced MRO Inventory Using RCM Principles

摘要

Because the new asset reliability programs are based on RCM principles, they identify failure modes. These Failure Modes, formally documented, made it possible to apply one of two major categories of maintenance strategies to the asset:1) Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) maintenance strategyfor assets such as bearings which fail randomly but are eligible for a proactive inspection task for the detection of given Failure Modes (resulting in an understanding of the state of the given Failure Mode at the point in time of the inspection).2) A No-Scheduled Maintenance (NSM) strategy for assets such as electronic devices which fail randomly with little or no notice.
