NASA Agency RCM Reinvigoration Initiative

by Michael Stites, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

The renewed emphasis by NASA on reliability-centered maintenance implementation at the 10 NASA Centers is directly in line with book M&R principles.

Learning takeaways:

1. Reactive maintenance is not sustainable.
2. RCM implementation reduces reactive maintenance.
3. Reduced/flat line budgets require RCM implementation.
