Reliability Centered Maintenance and a Motor System

If you are ready to jump into some real "meat and potatoes" on motor systems and Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), I found a great video that combines them both. The presenter has written on motors and their maintenance extensively. In this short presentation, he focuses on how a motor is part of a system, demonstrates how to calculate the reliability of the system, and then looks at strategies to improve reliability using RCM.

This video is heavy on content, but I would recommend watching for the higher level principals and consider how these might fit into or improve your program. Pay particular attention to the reliability calculations of redundant assets, which is a real eye-opener.
