Organizations that need structured RCM tool to optimize maintenance, reduce over-maintenance, and protect mission-critical asset availability
About BAE Systems
BAE Systems Reliability Centered Maintenance platform provides a systematic approach to optimizing asset maintenance and establishing safe, optimum levels of maintenance for complex and mission-critical assets. The RCM Toolkit is designed to help organizations create a cost-effective maintenance strategy that addresses the dominant causes of equipment failure, minimizes safety, environmental, and operational failures, and reduces over-maintenance. Instead of relying only on preventive maintenance or repair after failure, the RCM approach uses a structured decision framework to balance risk, cost, and environmental factors while extending through-life expectancy. The toolkit guides users through defining the maintenance problem, gathering basic information, defining equipment functions and desired performance standards, identifying functional failures, establishing failure modes, recording failure effects, and selecting strategies based on the consequences of each failure.
