Step 03 · FMEA

FMEA & Asset Strategy.

RCM decision logic per SAE JA1011/1012 applied to your class A and B assets. The output is a maintainable, evidence-backed strategy — not a spreadsheet that dies in a shared drive.

Decision logic

  • ·On-condition — detect potential failure before functional failure
  • ·Scheduled restoration / discard — age-based intervention
  • ·Failure-finding — for hidden failures on protective functions
  • ·Run-to-failure — where consequence justifies it
  • ·Redesign — when no task is effective or economic

KPIs we tune to

KPIDefinitionWhy it matters
MTBFMean time between failuresDirectly ties to unplanned outage risk
AvailabilityUptime as % of committed timeSLA and contractual exposure
Maintenance cost / assetTotal cost of ownership over lifecycleRetrofit vs replace decisions
PFI ratioPotential-to-functional-failure intervalValidates on-condition task frequency

AI-density considerations

CDUs and rear-door heat exchangers have short field-life history in many markets. Where reliable data is thin, we combine OEM guidance, first-principles physics and structured expert judgement — and instrument the assets so the strategy sharpens with real failure data.

Fixed scope, fixed fee. You leave with a baseline asset model, a FMEA-ranked risk register, and an evidence starter pack.
