About RCMO Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a proven methodology for the development of asset strategies by assessing how assets fail and the associated safety, environment and economic impacts. For decades, manufacturers have used RCM to optimize equipment performance, control risk and improve asset reliability. Unfortunately, many RCM initiatives are never institutionalized due to the challenges of implementation within EAM systems and the difficulty of measuring the effectiveness of the program over time. SAP and Meridium have addressed the typical challenges of RCM initiatives with RCMOTM, an RCM solution completely integrated within SAP and built with SAP’s NetWeaverTM technology. RCMOTM greatly simplifies the process of implementing RCM recommendations in SAP, and makes it easy to measure performance and make adjustments over time. RCMO is a “Certified by SAP NetWeaver” product that: - Offers a browser-based user interface integrated into SAP Enterprise Portal
- Provides the framework for users to define maintenance strategies based upon RCM and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) principles.
- Integrates the recommendations from an RCM analysis into SAP Maintenance Plans, Items and Notifications.
- Integrates with SAP Business Warehouse to drive automated re-evaluation of maintenance strategies to ensure effectiveness is constantly measured for continuous improvement.
