MERC’s reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) team consists of reliability engineers, reliability analysts who are subject matter experts on aircraft structure and systems, and industrial engineers to validate and refine preventative maintenance tasks and inspections on various weapons systems. The RCM team uses failure mode effects criticality analysis, detailed maintenance repair data analysis, user/maintainer input, Crow-AMSAA analyses, and cost data to tailor component and system failure management strategies to best meet safety and mission requirements. Our goal is to optimize the entire maintenance process that allows for timely parts, equipment, and personnel planning based on predictive maintenance.
