Keeping Facilities Fit

摘要

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) aims to improve the reliability and availability of critical systems plus lower life cycle operations and maintenance costs. RCM differs from earlier maintenance programs that simply reacted to equipment failures, and from other programs that aimed to restore or replace components before failures occur. RCM has been used by the commercial aviation industry since the 1960s, and more recently it has been applied to military aviation and ship maintenance programs.
