Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) optimizes maintenance scheduling for critical drilling equipment by focusing on maintaining system functions, rather than simply preventing failures of individual components. RCM is a systematic approach that identifies the most critical equipment functions and then determines the most effective maintenance strategies to ensure those functions are maintained. The RCM process begins with a functional analysis, which identifies all the functions of the equipment and the potential failure modes that could disrupt those functions. For each failure....
