Managing the Consequences of Failure with Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)

In industries where critical assets operate without backup systems, the consequences of equipment failure can be catastrophic. So, how can companies effectively manage these risks and optimise their maintenance strategies? The answer lies in Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM).

In a new technical article presented at the Smart Inspect Middle East Conference & Exhibition 2024, Penspen’s Director of Asset Integrity for the Middle East & Africa, Gordon Philip, dives into the importance of RCM for non-redundant assets and systems. He explores how RCM can predict and prevent high-impact failures, transforming maintenance from a routine cost to a strategic investment that enhances safety, reliability, and operational efficiency.

Key topics covered in this article:

  • How RCM identifies and manages high-risk failure modes for critical assets.
  • Strategies for predicting and mitigating costly breakdowns before they occur.
  • Why maintenance should be seen as an investment, not a burden, to drive long-term value and reduce downtime.
  • How targeted maintenance can safeguard your operations and improve overall asset longevity.
