Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) - A lot of organizations don\\u2019t get the Reliability they need from their equipment.\\xa0 That causes chronic downtime, increased costs, and lost production.\\xa0 Using Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), organizations figure out what proactive maintenance to do so they get what they need from their machines (https://RCMTrainingOnline.com).

RCM Consists of seven steps:

1. Functions
2. Functional Failures
3. Failure Modes
4. Failure Effects
5. Failure Consequences
6. Proactive Maintenance and Intervals
7. Default Strategies

Steps one through four make up the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA).\\xa0 Steps one through five make up the Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA).\\xa0 Step six embodies preventive maintenance and Condition Based Maintenance (CBM).
