RCM Basic Training Quiz

One of the statements is NOT an objective of RCM implementation?

• To increase overall reliability of plant equipment and UOR

• To review and determine maintenance strategy

• To review overhaul report

• To avoid & reduce failure consequences

Following are the 7 main question asked in RCM, EXCEPT:

• What do the users want an equipment to do?

• What causes it to fail?

• In what ways can it fail?

• What is the total manhour lost in the failure?

An RCM Function must contain each of the following EXCEPT

• Verb

• Standard Performance

• Noun

• Object

All the statements below are true when analyzing a system, EXCEPT

• The system must have a main function

• ESCAPES method can be used to list down secondary functions

• The system does not necessarily has secondary functions

• The system must have a single performance standard

When can we say that a pump system has a failure?

• When the pump output falls a bit from the design output

• When the pump output is unable to fulfil a function to an acceptable

  standard performance

• When the pump output suddenly went beyond the requirements

• When plant owner fail to install a pump

One of the following is NOT partial failure

• Unable to filter more than 5 micron

• Pump water at a rate less than 1000 litres/min

• Unable to channel gas to chamber at all

• Give alarm when temperature inside cabin less than 50 deg C

Below are the failure mode categories EXCEPT

• Falling capability

• Initial incapability

• Increase in desired performance

• Increase in design output

The following information should be recorded when analyzing Failure Effect,

EXCEPT

• What evidence (if any) that the failure has occurs?

• In what ways (if any) it poses a threat to safety or the environment

• What can be done to prevent it

• What must be done to repair the failure

Following are default maintenance, EXCEPT

• Failure Finding

• Condition Monitoring

• Combination of tasks

• Training of personnel

On-Condition Task is

• Checking for potential failures, so that action can be taken to prevent the

  functional failure or to avoid the consequences of the functional failure

• Checking of potential failures, in which involves shutting down the machine

• Checking for potential failures of a direct-wear equipment

• Restoring the initial capability of an existing item or component at or before a

  specified age limit, regardless of its apparent condition at the time
