Un aperçu de la maintenance centrée sur la fiabilité à l’aide de l’analyse des modes de défaillance et de leurs effets

In certain industries, the different operations are very complex, and a small error may lead to a catastrophe. So, there is a strong need to establish an effective maintenance program to avoid any possible error. A concept called Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) was found in the 1960s and initially oriented towards maintaining aircrafts. The objective of this overview is to present the different difficulties when implementing RCM strategy in other industrial fields. So, we first present some RCM concepts and next deal with the most used assessment methods such as Risk Priority Number (RPN) method and Military Standard one. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) as a structured approach is used next to discover potential failures that may exist within a product design or production process. Far away from aviation industry, a coffee maker is considered as an illustrative example to provide the newcomers with a simplified way to implement the RCM concepts in different industrial sectors. Several failure modes considering MSG-3 standard are presented to provide the suitable preventive maintenance actions. Finally, a discussion and future perspective section provides some critical points and future propositions when implementing this strategy in other industrial fields such as additive manufacturing.
