The principles learned from the airline industry through MSG-1 and the updated MSG-2 and MSG-3 were brought together by Stan Nowlan and Howard Heap in the book Reliability-centered Maintenance published in 1978. This is the foundation stone of RCM... Reliability-centred Maintenance (RCM) is used by organisations around the world to construct and validate equipment maintenance schedules. Originally developed by the civil aviation industry, it identifies the right maintenance tasks for every item of equipment. RCM maintenance is robust, safe and ensures environmental integrity. At the same time it controls costs by eliminating unnecessary or harmful maintenance intervention.
