The new maintenance philosophies pursue the optimization of processes to obtain maximum availability and reliability at minimum cost. Among all these philosophies, Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) stands out today.
RCM advocates that whenever a failure mode is monitorable, the optimal maintenance strategy is Condition Based Maintenance (CBM or PdM), if it is not possible to apply CBM, then fixed interval or failure based maintenance would be considered. Understand that "monitorable" means that it is technically possible to monitor the condition of the machine and that from an economic point of view, the investment is justified.
