ABSTRACT
Reliability Centered Maintenance-Reengineered (RCM-R®) assesses failure causes and prioritizes their corresponding failure management policies according to their criticality. The analysis team clearly describes what will happen when each failure mode with its corresponding root cause actually occurs. The description of failure effects enables to justify the type of consequence management policy for risk elimination or reduction to a level that the system owner can tolerate. Quantifying environmental impact is sometimes unfair to the environment itself, as the impact can be both physical and financial. RCM-R® is a process to identify and manage risks to assign plausible risk management policies to eliminate or reduce their consequences to levels tolerable to the owner of the asset. RCM-R® evaluates the relative criticality of each individual root cause to decide risk treatment methods accordingly.
