Page 3 of 6 Proactive Tasks - Using a structured decision method, each Failure Mode is analysed to determine a suitable Proactive Task. A great strength of an RCM process is the way in which it provides simple, precise and easily understood criteria for deciding which (if any) proactive tasks are technically feasible and worth doing in any given operating context. It also provides a means for deciding how often each task should be done and who should do them. Tasks are selected only if they can predict or prevent the failure, are technically feasible and are worth doing. RCM defines Proactive tasks as: On-condition tasks - Where an item is left in service on the condition that it continues to meet the desired performance standards Scheduled Restoration - Where an item is either overhauled/remanufactured regardless of its condition at the time. Scheduled Discard tasks - where an item is replaced with a new item at a specified age, regardless of its condition at the time.
