Reliability-centred Maintenance is a process used to determine -
systematically and scientifically - what must be done to ensure
that physical assets continue to do what their users want them to
do. Widely recognised by maintenance professionals as the most
cost-effective way to develop world-class maintenance strategies,
RCM leads to rapid, sustained and substantial improvements in plant
availability and reliability, product quality, safety and
environmental integrity. The author and his associates have helped
users to apply RCM and its more modern derivative, RCM2, on more
than 600 sites in 32 countries. These sites include all types of
manufacturing (especially automobile, steel, paper, petrochemical,
pharmaceutical and food manufacturing, utilities (water, gas and
electricity), armed forces, building services, mining
telecommunications and transport. This book summarises this
experience in the form of an authoritative and completely practical
description of what RCM2 is and how it should be applied. The
second edition has been comprehensively revised to incorporate the
most recent developments in this field. It includes more than 100
pages of new material on condition monitoring, the analysis of
functions and failures, human error, the management of risk,
failure-finding and the measurement of maintenance performance.
This book will be of immense value to maintenance managers, and to
anyone else concerned with the reliability, productivity, safety
and environmental integrity of physical assets. Its
straightforward, plant-based approach makes the book especially
well suited to use in centres of higher education. John Moubray,
BSc (Mech Eng), spent his early career developing and implementing
maintenance management systems, first as a plant engineer then as a
consultant. In the early 1980s, he began to focus on the industrial
application of RCM under the guidance of the late F Stanley Nowlan.
In 1986, he set up Aladon Ltd, a consulting and training company
based in Lutterworth, UK. He is currently managing director of
Aladon, which specialises exclusively in the development of
reliability-centre management processes and their application to
physical assets.
