Everyday RCM

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a time-honored, proven process that helps organizations achieve their Maintenance and Reliability goals.  But, it’s often misunderstood and misapplied.  In “Everyday RCM,” Nancy Regan sets forth RCM’s principles and purpose in a straightforward (and often fun!) manner using “everyday” examples.   (She even gets Elvis, Batman, Chewbacca, and Vegas  showgirls involved to help debunk some of RCM’s biggest misconceptions.)  Enjoy!
