ASENT RCM Analysis - Introduction
ASENT provides a Reliability Centered Maintenance
(RCM) analysis capability as an integral part of the
FMECA toolkit. RCM Analysis is invoked from any
assembly level menu and is conducted at the Failure
Mode level.
This presentation will cover important menu options
and other high-level information. For more details refer
to the RCM tutorial or click on the link below, and
select Reliability Centered Maintenance to access a
help file in PDF format.

RCM Analysis – What is it?
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is an analytical process used to determine
preventive maintenance (PM) requirements and identify the need to take other
actions that are warranted to ensure safe and cost effective operations of a system.
NAVAIR 00-25-403

This analysis will allow you to identify failure modes that result in critical end
effects and prescribe preventative maintenance tasks, and the intervals or
conditions for conducting these maintenance tasks. This influences maintenance
costs and manpower requirements for your system, and is a key component which
affects overall operating costs.
RCM analysis can also highlight areas of the system design where redesign activity
can be cost effective and productive, as opposed to an extensive PM task routine.

RCM Analysis Methods
• There are several documents that prescribe Reliability Centered Maintenance
programs, such as:
Mil-Std-2173(AS) – 1986
Mil-Std-1843(USAF) – 1985
NAVAIR 00-25-403 – 2003
UK MoD MSG-3
• Mil-Std-2173 is the precursor for RCM analysis and all the other documents
closely copy the analysis method and decision tree specified in this Navy
document, typically with some minor wording changes.
• ASENT provides the capability to perform RCM analysis using any of the following
methods:
Mil-Std-2173(AS) – 1986
NAVAIR 00-25-403 – 2003
UK MoD MSG-3
ATA MSG-3
ASD S4000M
• These methods were selected based on the needs of existing customers. Other
methods can be easily added.

Prerequisites – Complete the FMECA for the Assy
Invoke the FMECA
Manager and
complete the
FMECA down to
the assembly of
interest. This will
assure that all the
failure modes are
linked to end
effects.
For more details,
refer to the
FMECA tutorials.

Suggestion – Get a document
It is much easier to understand the process when all the terms are defined. Each of
the RCM Analysis documents have a section where all the terms are defined. These
RCM documents are readily available without cost, and several are available as
downloads from the ASENT Web Site.

Conclusion
This concludes a brief introduction to the RCM
Analysis tool. For more details, please refer to the
RCM Analysis tutorial for step by step instruction on
conducting the analysis.
