RELIABILITY

RELIABILITY FROM SCRATCH

The statistical reliability is defined as the probability that an item will not fail now, if we refer to the asset maintenance engineering, SAE JA1011 tells us that the reliability of an asset is defined by the proper functioning of free asset each one of the failure modes that may have caused damage to each of the functions of the asset, in other words, reliability is the probability that an asset has to perform the function for which it was designed with no incidents in any of the modes failure that may have occurred over a period of time. It is noteworthy that the reliability has been defined by a set of standards in the world such as the SAE, BS standards, the NORSOK and many others. This paper will emphasize the reliability focused on asset management as SAE standards.

Maintaining reliability for their follow in English is called RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance) and started with a report of F. S. Nowlan and H. F. Heap in 1978 to the Department of Defense of the United States, in time the RCM was adopted by other companies to be enriched and improved.

In this series of document seeks to provide a clear and precise definition of RCM, so that it can be read, understood and used by anyone who wishes to apply to the management of its assets, all this without forgetting the SAE standard SAE JA1011 and JA1012, In case you want to do a deeper study of reliability is recommended to refer directly to standards and technical standards that affect every region and every business.

Throughout this site you will find a series of documents that take you step by step through the RCM from scratch, the first steps, implementing and monitoring the project, it is noteworthy that the author and the site does not assume any responsibility situations that may arise in monitoring site information and documents, as this is done in a purely didactic. It is very important to help other readings, as to carry out a project of such importance needs to be a very critical, you should know the educational level of its staff and train them if necessary, the RCM is not a project that can carry a single person in every organization but it is part of a policy and practice involving all staff, at the end of all this you are expected not only has improved the reliability of their teams but they also cost structure benefited from this display and in turn this is reflected in the welfare of all.
