Lean & TPM Papers

Author: Ross Kennedy - President & Managing Director CTPM

The original precept for RCM were developed for the aircraft industry where 'basic equipment conditions' (no looseness, contamination or lubrication problem) are mandatory, and where operators (pilots) skill level, behaviour and training is of a high standard.
Unfortunately in most manufacturing and mining operations these 'basic equipment conditions' and operator skill and behaviour levels do not exist thus undermining the basis of any RCM application.
