Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) is a concept of maintenance planning to ensure that systems continue to do what their users require in their present operating context. [1] Successful implementation of RCM will lead to increase in cost effectiveness, reliability, machine uptime, and a greater understanding of the level of risk that the ...
Reliability: Ability to perform a specific function and may be given as design reliability or operational reliability Availability : Ability to keep a functioning state in the given environment Maintainability : Ability to be timely and easily maintained (including servicing, inspection and check, repair and/or modification)
Reliability-centered maintenance, a maintenance planning approach based on reliability and safety system assessment; Reciprocating Chemical Muscle, a mechanism that takes advantage of the superior energy density of chemical reactions; Resonant Clock Mesh, technology used in the AMD Piledriver (microarchitecture) Restrictive cardiomyopathy
Reliability declines as the time passes, and probability of failure increases until action is taken. The item will eventually fail if there is no intervention. Periodic maintenance increasingly reduces operational failure risks as procedure are used more often. Average reliability improves as the time between maintenance actions is reduced.
The Mil-HDBK-217 reliability calculator manual in combination with RelCalc software (or other comparable tool) enables MTBF reliability rates to be predicted based on design. A concept which is closely related to MTBF, and is important in the computations involving MTBF, is the mean down time (MDT). MDT can be defined as mean time which the ...
Reliability engineering is a sub-discipline of systems engineering that emphasizes the ability of equipment to function without failure. Reliability is defined as the probability that a product, system, or service will perform its intended function adequately for a specified period of time, OR will operate in a defined environment without failure.

maximize efficiency, reliability, and safety, meet new requirements, make future maintenance easier, or; cope with a changing environment. In some cases, maintainability involves a system of continuous improvement - learning from the past to improve the ability to maintain systems, or improve the reliability of systems based on maintenance ...
This graph is used in reliability engineering and deterioration modeling. The 'bathtub' refers to the shape of a line that curves up at both ends, similar in shape to a bathtub. The bathtub curve has 3 regions: The first region has a decreasing failure rate due to early failures. The middle region is a constant failure rate due to random failures.
