Reliability-Centered Maintenance

Reliability-Centered Maintenance (EAS437)

Synopsis

It will provide students with an understanding on how maintenance programmes are developed and managed both in the civilian and military aerospace sectors. Designing and evaluating reliability-centred maintenance systems will be studied. Local case studies will be used in assessments and seminar discussions.

Level: 4
Credit Units: 5
Presentation Pattern: Every July

Topics

  • Development of maintenance programmes
  • Definitions, goals and objectives of aerospace maintenance
  • Failure patterns study
  • Analysis of functions and failures
  • P to F curve; condition monitoring and on-condition maintenance
  • Life cycle of RCM
  • Designing a reliability-centred maintenance system
  • RCM methodologies
  • MSG-3 techniques
  • Requirements for a maintenance programme, and failure finding
  • Organising maintenance reliability board
  • Measurement of reliability and maintenance performance
