Serviceability, functionality, reliability and maintainability functions are useful in the engineering industry as functions that
span the life cycle of engineered products. Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), in this case, is an element of equipment design,
operation and installation that are expressed based on maintainability of the economy, product functionality, accuracy and safety in
product performance and maintenance actions. This research uses plant examples (Balbina hydroelectric plant for FTA analysis and
Flat Rock Assembly Plant) for RCM to discuss the functions. An evaluation of Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is provided with an
overview of its reliability and equipment effectiveness, which can be attained based on the implementation of wide-range initiatives
and activities such as adoption of novel equipment, condition monitoring, root cause focus, standardization, design maintainability,
long-term planning and general product upgradability.
