Abstract

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a systematic approach to ensure that a system maintains its functional capability through optimum maintenance activities. One of the key step in implementing RCM is to carry out Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA). FMEA is an engineering technique used to define, identify and eliminate known and/or potential failures. FMEA is a proactive method to analyze possible failures before the failure has occurred. Such failures cause interruption in the operation of the vessels, leading to cost implications, besides loosing precious time in restoring the system. The consequences of such failures could be disastrous too. FMEA is a study of any system’s functioning and anticipating probable failures and then taking suitable corrective actions to prevent them from occurring.
