How does RCMCost Help?
RCMCost in Availability Workbench provides facilities for storing RCM data and analyzing maintenance alternatives. It provides simulation algorithms to predict lifetime maintenance costs, spares costs and usage, maintenance crew manning requirements, safety and environmental risks and operational performance. In addition RCMCost identifies critical failure modes and compares the cost, safety and operational benefits of different maintenance intervals.

The program is designed to combine well-established reliability prediction techniques with engineering experience. The program does not decide on which maintenance policy or combination of policies to adopt. Instead it advises the individual user or workgroup based on the operational data provided. The program may be used to filter the most critical item (component) failures before detailed maintenance decisions are made.
