Our team is directly involved in the reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) of a turbo fan jet engine. The engine fuel controller (FC) is one of the main components on the engine. Its purpose is to control the flow of fuel based on pilot demand from the throttle levers in the aircraft cockpit. If the FC does not operate properly, the engine does not receive fuel in accordance with pilot demand and may shut down. As can be imagined, shutting down an engine is not a good situation in flight.Improving the Reliability of a Turbofan Jet Engine by Using the Weibull Distribution for Failure Mode Analysis (WFMA)
NOTE: FM = FAILURE MODE, MAL CODE = MALFUNCTION CODE, they are the same

There is extensive experience in many industries that shows that PM programs developed on the basis of OEM requirements or experience span the range from overbearing to deficient, typically lack a sound technical basis, and are hard to maintain. Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) has taught us that an adequate technical basis requires a functional analysis to establish the need for PM and an FMEA to decide what PM actions to take. However, apart from fleet applications or strongly focused efforts that are limited in scope, RCM in its traditional form has been found to be too resource intensive to be sustainable in most industrial environments.
Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) has an important place in a complete maintenance program. Root Cause Failure Analysis provides the ability to identify and eliminate preventable root causes of failures.

People often confuse reliability and availability. Simply put availability is a measure of the % of time the equipment is in an operable state while reliability is a measure of how long the item
Learn RCM from Anthony M. (Mac) Smith who is internationally recognized for his pioneering efforts in the application of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) to complex systems and facilities in the industrial and government arenas.
His engineering career spans 50 years of technical and management experience, including 24 years with GE. For the past 25 years, he has consulted in RCM for many Fortune 100 companies as well as the Air Force, Navy and NASA.
