Classical RCM
RCM (Reliability Centred Maintenance) was born out of necessity in the US airline industry in the 1960s/1970s as increasing preventive maintenance led to higher operating costs but did not provide the required improvement in safety and reliability.
The original 500 page report on RCM prepared by F S Nowlan and H F Heap was published in 1978 and provided the framework for determining what preventive maintenance and other actions are needed for complex equipment.
Classical RCM follows the concepts established by Nowlan and Heap, and further refined in MSG-3 - the standard for setting a maintenance programme as developed by the airlines, military and nuclear industries.

GGR's development of Classical RCM provides enhanced action decision logic and eliminates the jargon that can often be a barrier to acceptance of the approach.
Classical RCM is used primarily by organisations that have a commitment to standard RCM

Based on the original RCM developed for the airlines but enhanced and extended for industrial applications.
