From standard templates, users select functions, parts, predominant failures, symptoms and causes, PM tasks and their basis based on operational context. With templates and a facility MEL layout, engineers quickly identify PM tasks to manage failure causes.

RCMtrim^TM applies templates based upon component type and failure risk. Vendor-based programs over-prescribe component maintenance, so work tasks and intervals must be re-estimated. Considering failure risk:

• Over-maintained equipment is less reliable than correctly-specified maintenance
• Correctly timed, PM supports real-time, condition-directed maintenance
• Symptom-based failure diagnostics directs resources to equipment at the time needed based upon objective criteria
• Condition-directed maintenance minimizes costs
