Reliability Centered Maintenance helps you increase the reliability of your critical assets but can be laborious. For example, RCM research takes up valuable time from your maintenance experts. In addition, the development of maintenance strategies in many organizations often happens once, with a tool that is separate from the maintenance management system. While it is essential to continuously feed back findings from your maintenance practice and adjust your maintenance strategies accordingly. How does IBM MAS help you apply RCM more easily and effectively?

EAM, APM and RCM in a closed loop

More than 800 ready-made RCM strategies

With IBM MAS, you don’t have to start from scratch when setting up your RCM strategies. You will receive a library with ready-made maintenance strategies, based on 25 years of RCM research. The library includes strategies for more than 800 different types of assets. For each asset, it is worked out what the vulnerable points are: where can they fail, what kind of damage can be caused by degradation and what measures are needed. The RCM strategies also take into account your industry and the environment in which assets are used. This way you can get started with your RCM super fast and save your maintenance specialists a lot of work and time.

Transparent and traceable maintenance processes

Another major advantage of RCM with IBM MAS is the transparency of your maintenance processes. You have accurately recorded which maintenance decisions you have taken, why those choices were made and what maintenance has been done to an asset, when and by whom. Everything that happens in terms of maintenance is therefore traceable from start to finish. This means you are well prepared for internal and external audits and you can easily account for your actions with well-substantiated reports.
