CBM is a Maintenance Strategy Based on Evidence of Need

Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) Provides Rules of Evidence

A Maintenance Strategy Overview

Objectives

• Improve overall effectiveness of existing preventive maintenance package
• Reduce maintenance costs in the face of shrinking budgets
• Optimize equipment availability

The Strategy

• Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM)
• Perform maintenance based on objective evidence of need

The Foundation

• Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM)
• Developed by commercial aviation, adopted by DoD and industry
• Engineered process to determine and validate maintenance requirements
• Ensures safety of personnel and equipment
• Protects the environment

The Goal

• Deliver improved equipment readiness while minimizing total ownership costs

The Tools

• CBM strategy
• Maintenance efficiency review
• Maintenance budget forecasting
• Maintenance engineering education

Continuous Improvement

• Experience shows that unless a continuous elective review process is in place, maintenance requirements will tend to be more costly
• Expandable process - can be applied to depot level requirements

CACI's CBM and RCM programs are readily adaptable to a commercial environment and are SAE JA 1011 and JA 1012 compliant. They are also aligned with the aviation sector's Maintenance Steering Group - 3 (MSG-3) process.
