Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)
The evolution of maintenance concepts has led to the adoption of Lean Management and Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) in recent decades. Lean Management emphasizes waste elimination and continuous improvement, while RCM focuses on identifying root causes of failures and developing targeted maintenance plans. Combining these concepts in Lean RCM has proven successful, as it engages cross-functional staff, fosters comprehensive understanding of plant functions, and enables better control of budgets without compromising quality.
With an optimistic mindset and a commitment to Lean RCM principles, companies can achieve significant improvements in reliability and maintenance practices.
