About the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Data Loader General Loading Strategy

This section describes any prerequisites to loading the data and the order in which the data will be loaded.

Note: Before reading this section, refer to the Data Model section.

Load Sequence

The RCM data load must be performed in a specific sequence to successfully populate fields, create records, and link them to the predecessor and/or successor records:

  1. Create/Update RCM FMEA Analysis of type RCM.
  2. Link the Existing Team Members to the Analysis. Team members exist in the Human Resource family and must exist prior to the load.
  3. Create/Update an RCM FMEA Asset and link it to the analysis.

    1. Locate the physical asset (Equipment or FLOC) and link it to the RCM FMEA Asset.
  4. Create/Update RCM Function to the Analysis.

  5. Create/Update RCM Functional Failure to the Function.

  6. Create/Update a RCM FMEA Failure Mode to the Functional Failure.

  7. Create/Update a Failure Effect and link it to the Failure Mode.

    1. Create the Unmitigated Risk Assessment and Risk Rank Records and Link to the Failure Effect.
  8. Create/Update the RCM FMEA Recommendation and Link it to the associated Failure Effect.

    1. Create the Mitigated Risk Assessment and Risk Rank Records and Link to the Failure Effect.
