The RCM Analysis Workbook is the structured template for building and documenting RCM analyses. The Failure Mode Library is the evidence base: 450 ready-to-use failure modes across pumps, motors, compressors, gearboxes, fans and conveyors, designed to feed directly into the Workbook. Use it alongside the Workbook — or as a standalone reference, whichever suits your process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ2: Can I use it as the basis for my own FMEA or RCM project?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes — that's exactly what it's for: a starting point for your FMEA or RCM work. You can copy rows into the RCM Workbook, use the library as a reference in a workshop, or use it as a checklist. Just remember: it gives you the starting modes — you still need to confirm the functions, functional failures, consequences and task decisions in your own context. Nothing in this library is a substitute for the analysis in context — it's a starting point for professional judgment, not a finished FMEA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ3: Does it include P-F intervals?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes — each failure mode row includes a typical P-F interval, alongside the detection technique and direction on the maintenance task type. Treat these intervals as a typical guide for the failure process, not a guarantee for your equipment. Always align them to your site history, failure data and inspection capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ4: Can I modify, add or delete modes to fit my site?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes — the Excel workbook is fully editable: you can add rows, modify columns, or adapt the file to your site's exact equipment and naming.

This sample reproduces the worked example from the RCM Analysis Workbook — BFP-2, a boiler feed pump carried through all seven JA1011 questions: 5 functions, 7 functional failures, 12 failure modes sorted into their consequence categories, and the tasks those consequences justify, with priced consequences ($259,390\/yr in the example) reconciled against a 55.6-hour annual program. It also explains the consequence-evaluation method in plain language and includes ten centrifugal-pump failure modes in the Failure Mode Library's format, so you can judge both full products on real content.
