Viewing RCM for equipment

View the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) for equipment. Functions, functional failures, failures modes, and consequence categories are displayed on this screen for a Risk Assessment. If you set the RCM level as Risk Analysis, failure modes and associated functional failures are also displayed on this screen. For a RCM Level of FMECA the system behaves like a Risk Assessment, but the functional failure is then replaced by a failure mode.

To view RCM for equipment:

  1. Select one of these options:
    • Equipment > Assets
    • Equipment > Positions
    • Equipment > Systems
    • Equipment > Setup > Locations
  2. Select the piece of equipment for which to view the RCM, and then click the RCM tab.
  3. Select Action and then select Expand All to view all of the details or the functions and failure modes.
    Note: You can also expand Functions or Failure Modes individually to view specific details.
  4. Select Action and then select Collapse All to close the details for the functions and failure modes.
  5. Optionally, select Action and then select one of these actions:
    Option Description
    Add/Edit Functions Define functions for a RCM Project and equipment combination.
    Add/Edit Functional Failures Define functional failures for previously defined functions of a RCM Project and equipment combination. Functional Failures cannot be entered for if the RCM Level is specified as FMECA (Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis) on the equipment header record.
    Edit Failure Consequences Edit consequences for previously defined functional failures or failure modes of a RCM Project and equipment combination.
    Add/Edit Failure Modes Define failure mode details for a RCM Project and equipment combination.
    Note: You cannot add and edit failure modes if the RCM level is specified as Risk Assessment.
    Add/Edit Functional Failure for Failure Modes Define functional failures for previously defined failure modes of a RCM Project and equipment combination.
    Note: You can only add and edit functional failures for failure modes if the RCM level is specified as Risk Analysis.
