Abstract:
Reliability Centered maintenance (RCM) is a systematic approach for designing preventive maintenance program for plants. Quality Function Deployment (QFD), which is a well known tool of Total Quality Management, is also a systematic and disciplined approach for designing products and services. In QFD the objective is to satisfy the requirements of the customers of the product or service with limited resources. Now if we consider the preventive maintenance program that RCM specifies for a plant as a service and define the customer requirements for this service to be preserving the functions of the plant we can use QFD for maintenance via RCM. By doing this all the proven advantages of QFD for design processes are added to RCM preventive maintenance design process. In this thesis RCM and QFD are combined to form a systematic maintenance program design process which we call Plant Function Deployment (PFD)
