This paper presents a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) framework for implementation on safety system of nuclear power plant (NPP). RCM is a systematic methodology to optimize the surveillance and maintenance tasks for critical components which provides efficiently and effectively reliability of system and safety of plant. Maintenance of the safety systems is essential for its safe and reliable operation. Reliability Centered Maintenance at NPP is the program which assure that plant system remains within original design criteria and that is not adversely affected during the plant life time. Aim of this paper is to provide the RCM framework to implement it on safety systems. RCM framework is described in four major steps.

In this paper we introduce an applicable RCM(Reliability centered maintenance) method for Track circuit equipment of AREX's Signalling System. AREX computerize all the process of FRACAS(Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System)) by the Facility Management System of Integrated Information System. These datum were analysed and reproduced as the RAMS index value which can be used by maintenance staff for optimizing the maintenance method of the System.

It has used for Rolling Stock Maintenance a number of maintenance system applied RCM in Railway(Korea Railroad Corporation, Seoul Metro, Korail Airport Railroad Corporation, etc) so far. Some institutions has been using develop Computational System including reliability process. A majority of the system has computerized maintenance work, but it is shown that developed focus on administrator and developer not user. SMRT(Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation) has developed computational system for maintenance in the '90s and saved many data about Maintenance Historical Data. However, this system reached the limits application of this data. Maintenance of computer systems is managed directly by the field staff and to introduce Reliability-centered maintenance SMRT was continually reviewed system development trends and supplement the existing system. To successfully operate RCM program should be gained full support in the whole company and field communicate, secure a reliable data from field and the most important take a patience. Our corporation will operate and develop successful RCM thorough review of these problems in the future.

In the current railway industry in Korea, a lot of researches and studies have been progressed to establish RAMS process and construction of RCM system in accordance with international standards. On the point of view of applying the RCM to the railway system, many problems (i.e., reliability of the existing field data, the lack and incorrectness of failure information, etc) are described. To solve these problems, it is need to study and effort the RCM, practically. In this paper, lots of problems and solutions for methods determining the preventive maintenance interval of application of the RCM will be described. To do this, the method using the theory of RBI (Reliability Based Inspection) which is applied to the existing chemical plants and power plants is described. From this study, it is expected that in this situation that the quantitative data is not enough, the results that an analyst quantifies the qualitative factors and/or items will be a good reference that can effectively approach, on the side of determination about each maintenance task and inspection interval.

This paper presents application of RCM(Reliability Centered Maintenance) in waterworks system. The reliability-based probability model for predicting the failure probability is established and FTA(Fault Tree Analysis) is proposed to considering RCM. To calculate failure probability, Weibull distribution is usually used due to age related reliability. FTA is an engineering analysis which is using logic symbols. The real historical data of CMMS(Computerized Maintenance Management System) make full use of case study for waterworks system. Consequently, the RCM would be likely to permit utilities to reduce overall costs in maintenance and improve the total benefit.

The purpose of Reliability Centered Maintenance(Hereafter, RCM) is to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of preventive maintenance by applying the improvement plan after analysis of existing preventive maintenance. To accomplish this, it is required to collect the failure data for equipments during operation, and to carry out the quantitative criticality analysis for each equipment. This paper shows that the case study of RCM criticality analysis based on the accumulative failure data and following improvement activity for KORAIL AIRPORT RAILROAD's E&M system.

RCM(reliability Centered Maintenance) 적용 시 나타나는 장점으로 인해 이미 여러 산업 분야에 적용되고 있다. 설비의 안정성을 중요시하는 원자력발전 부문에서 처음으로 도입 후 전력산업분야 대부분에서 RCM을 적용하거나 적용연구가 진행되고 있다. 철도산업에서도 전력산업 분야와 같이 안정적 이면서 경제적인 전력을 공급하는 것이 중요하므로 정비업무의 중요성이 크다고 할 수 있다. 특히 철도 시스템 중 한전에서 154kV나 345kV를 수전 받아 철도 시스템에 전력을 공급하는 변전소의 역할은 매우 중요하다. 따라서 철도 변전소를 구성하고 있는 설비의 특성과 운영방식에 대한 연구를 통해 적절한 RCM적용 방안을 위한 고장모드 및 임계분석 (FMECA: Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis) 연구의 필요성이 대두된다. RCM과 FMECA는 적용 산업분야에 따라 적용 절차를 다르게 적용되어진다. 따라서 철도 변전소에 대한 고장데이터와 설비들의 특성 및 현재 운용방식 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 적절한 수립방법 연구가 필요하다.

Lab scale experiment was carried out to study biological wastewater treatment technology developed for shipboard. RCM process using BM(Beneficial Microorganisms) was investigated for practical application on shipboard sewage treatment. RCM process is an environmental friendly treatment system, with minimum production of sludge. In the test, BOD5, CODcr, T-N and T-P were reduced a 96%, 97%, 78% and 81.68% respectively. From the result it was suggested that RCM process with BM might be a suitable process for shipboard sewage treatment, maintenance of useful microorganisms and creating special environment as the SDC tank is circulating in the non-biodegradable organics sludge generated during the wastewater treatment, thus reducing the amount of sludge generated. Therefore, the RCM process does not require additional equipment to strengthen it to meet the marine pollution standards.

Traditional maintenance planning is based on a constant maintenance interval for equipment life. In order to consider economic aspect for tm based preventive maintenance, preventive maintenance is desirable to be scheduled by RCM(Reliability-Centered Maintenance) evaluation. The main objective of RCM is to reduce the maintenance cost, by focusing on the most important functions of the system and avoiding or removing maintenance actions that are not strictly necessary. So, Markov state model is utilized considering stochastic state in RCM In this paper, a Markov state model much can be used for scheduling and optimization of maintenance is presented. The deterioration process of system condition is modeled by the stepwise Markov model in detail. Also, because the system is not continuously monitored, the inspection is considered. In case study, simulation results about RCM will be shown using the real historical data of combustion turbine generating unit in Korean power systems.
