The toolset is implemented as a web-based application using Dot Net Nuke technologies and supported with a Microsoft SQL Server data store. The primary RCM analysis application supports organization of data by end items, major systems, subsystems, individual components, and component parts. For each unit, the system supports the entry of failure modes, severity analyses, repair cost and schedule analysis, and other components of RCM analysis. The tool handles all calculations internally and allows for what-if scenario evaluation and overall maintenance schedule optimization. The application also provides a document library with key word search for research data, technical publications, and other reference materials used during RCM analysis. Analysis reports and charts are easily generated from the tool, and role-based user permissions allow varying degrees of visibility into the analysis process based on needs. MERC’s Information Systems Division is developing a data collection and analysis toolset for use in performing Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) analyses. Fully compliant with the RCM guidelines provided by NAVAIR 00-25-403, the system provides a collaborative working environment for a team of analysts performing RCM research.
