Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a structured method for deciding the most effective maintenance strategy for each asset by analysing its functions, likely failure modes and the consequences of failure. In a data center it balances preventive, predictive and run-to-failure approaches so that maintenance effort is concentrated where it most protects critical uptime.
