SMRP BoK Review Workbook

Understanding the Asset

Function defines what users require from the equipment.

▪ Primary functions specify why the equipment was acquired in the first

place. (Speeds , flows, etc..)

▪ Secondary functions specify additional requirements such as safety,

control, etc..

7 Questions of RCM.............................................................................................................................................

1. What are the functions and associated performance standards of the
   asset in its Present operating context?


2. In what ways does it fail to fulfill its functions?


3. What causes each functional failure?


4. What happens when each failure occurs?


5. In what way does each failure matter?


6. What can be done to predict or prevent each failure?


7. What should be done if a suitable proactive task cannot be found?

9 Steps of an RCM Analysis

1. System selection and information collection


2. System boundary definition


3. System description and functional block diagram


4. System functions and functional failures


5. Failure mode effect analysis


6. Logic tree analysis


7. Selection of maintenance tasks


8. Task packaging and implementation


9. Continuous Improvement

Review of Vendor PM Recommendations

Deleted NVA tasks. The 12% New tasks were to cover the 96 new failure

modes.
