Maintenance Strategy & Reliability Engineering
Decide, asset class by asset class, which failures to prevent, which to predict and which to simply fix, based on how each failure happens and what it costs when it does.
- Reliability-Centered Maintenance
- Asset Criticality
- Failure Analysis
In scope
- Asset criticality ranking
- Failure mode analysis and maintenance task selection
- Root-cause analysis of significant failures
- Reliability improvement projects
Out of scope
- Enterprise risk framework (see BC-130)
- Equipment design changes beyond maintainability (see BC-530)

- BC-1130.10.10Asset Criticality AssessmentRank equipment by the production, safety and cost consequence of its failure, so maintenance effort follows consequence.
- BC-1130.10.20Failure Mode AnalysisIdentify how each critical asset fails, what warns of it and what task, if any, prevents or detects it in time.
- BC-1130.10.30Root-Cause AnalysisInvestigate significant or repeat failures to the underlying cause and close it, rather than replacing the same part a fourth time.
- BC-1130.10.40Reliability ImprovementRun targeted projects to lift the availability of bad actors through redesign, procedure change or operating practice.
