A Big Mistake Organizations Make with Reliability Centered Maintenance

Hi everyone, I’m Nancy Regan, coming to you from The Watermelon Festival in Russellville, Alabama! In today’s video, I share one of the most common mistakes organizations make when it comes to Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)—and why this often leads to failed analyses.

Using a simple analogy of growing watermelons, I explain how RCM can go wrong when the right people aren’t involved. Just like watermelons need the right conditions to grow, RCM needs experienced facilitators and equipment experts to ensure the process succeeds.

Key Points Covered:

Why having the right people involved in RCM is essential
The role of an RCM Facilitator in guiding the analysis
How involving equipment experts leads to effective maintenance strategies
