Vol 15, No 1, RCM Standard - SAEs New Standard for RCM - Dana Netherton, Athos Corporation, St. Louis, Missouri USA
In August 1999 the International Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) published a standard for Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM), for use by anyone who wishes to apply RCM to physical assets. RCM is a process first defined in 1978 by Stan Nowlan and Howard Heap of United Airlines. It is used to determine the best policies for managing the functions of physical assets managing the functions of physical assets and for managing the consequences of their failures. The SAE Standard provides criteria that can be used to evaluate proposed maintenance-programme-development processes and determine whether they are RCM processes.

Vol 15, No 1, Fast Track RCM - Getting Results from RCM (Part 1) - Michael Dixey and John Gallimore, GGR Associates Ltd
Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) has had a chequered history. Part 1 of this paper traces its emergence, in the sixties and seventies, as the saviour of airline industry maintenance and then follows it through its mixed reception in industry to its successful evolution, during the past decade, into an effective performance improvement tool.
Part II will describe a typical industrial application using some extensions of the methodology that have been developed by the authors own organisation.

Vol 15, No 1, RCM Case Study - Getting Results from RCM (Part II) - Dave Gebala, Golden Wonder Ltd, and John Gallimore, GGR Associates Ltd
This second part of the authors paper on performance improvement via RCM describes a typical industrial application using developments in RCM methodology that have been recently introduced by GGR Associates. In a pilot exercise, the food processing company, Golden Wonder, have used an RCM-based approach to reduce downtime and improve the performance of an established crisp manufacturing line. Following the successful pilot, the same philosophy has been used to establish preventive maintenance routines and ensure high performance from a new, £9 million investment, crisp-making plant.

Vol 15, No 1, Concrete CMMS - Building and Implementing a Computerised Maintenance Management System in an Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Plant - Hakan Kutlu, Chief Maintenance Manager, Cimentas-Gazbeton, Turkey
A two-year duration project is reported, aimed at building a complete PC-based Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) and at implementing it on a plant for the manufacture of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC). Rather than buying in the software, ready-made, from one of the established CMMS vendors the company preferred to create its own software and system in-plant. This being a relatively unusual way to proceed the companys resulting experience was very different from that of those who follow the proprietary package route.
