Reliability Centered Maintenence (RCM) Analysis Workflow

The following list represents the basic steps that should be completed in an RCM Analysis. Note that none of the steps are required, but the more steps you complete, the more thorough your analysis will be. In addition, note that the RCM data model dictates that certain elements be defined before certain other elements can be defined. The steps and links in this workflow do not reference every possible procedure.

Create the RCM Analysis record.
Create the analysis team.
Define the equipment and location list, which helps define the RCM system. Note that each RCM FMEA Asset record can optionally be linked to an Equipment or Functional Location record.
Define the functions of the system.
Define functional failures for each system function.
Define failure modes for each Functional Failure.
Define the failure effects for each Failure Mode.
Define recommendations for each Failure Effect.
