Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - Metal Engineering, Metal Processing, Metal Structure, Cranfield University (Cranfield University), course: OOTSE, language: English, abstract: This paper is going to focus on a maintenance method that provides reliability to a functional system and in a cost-effective manner, known as Reliability centered maintenance technique or RCM. RCM is simply referred to as the idea of considering the lasting reliability of a system.
