Reliability Centered Maintenance is a technical book that is divided into two main sections: theoretical one, and a practical one. Although you might see some theoretical section scattered through the book, most of the theory of the RCM is laid in the first chapter.
In a nutshell, RCM is a process to get to the most effective maintenance practices of an asset. To get RCM going 7 questions generally should be discussed:
- What is the function of the asset( primary – secondary )
- What are the failure ‘states’ (functional failure – failure modes)
- What causes each functional failure?
- What are the consequences of each failure:
o Hidden failures consequences
o Operational consequences
o SHE consequences
o NON Op consequences
- In what ways does each failure matter?
- What can be done to prevent or predict each failure:
o Proactive tasks ( on condition – scheduled restoration and discard)
o Default Tasks ( run2failure – ReDesign – Failure finding )
- What can be done of suitable proactive task can’t be performed?


I did not read the whole book nor is it my intention. The first 10 chapters could give any engineer very fair view about modern reliability practices and other chapters are for more in depth analysis or for reference. I will be editing this review as I go back to the book more often.

RCM II Process is a different take on how we change a maintenance by transformation of people, process, and technology. It highlights the aspect of people in organization by promoting multi-division collaboration especially in operation, maintenance, and supply chain. Furthermore it underscore the important of logical process. Focusing from business level function to specific operational function. Lastly it focus on the effectiveness of technology and techniques in which left no effort a waste.

A gold and prestige even for today's standard. Sadly, it is registered as a trademark in which makes the framework limited to be shared with 100% precision and accuracy. Hopefully, there will be time when such knowledge be free.

Great book and very well written. Moubray addressed a lot of ways to handle reliability and failure analysis.

The second editon had more pages than the first edition - however the third edition had 8 less pages. John Moubray, what did you leave out? Did you give us bad information in the second editon? Was your reliability not as centered as you portrayed in the 2nd edition? Your literary teasing must stop!

I want to read this book
