Practical Reliability Centered Maintenance: templates that walk you through one real analysis, a fully worked example you can copy, and consulting when you want a second set of hands. Built by practicing reliability engineers with 15+ years on plant floors.
Your team doesn't need another binder. They need a method that sticks.
RCM fails when it's a one-off project. The toolkit makes it a repeatable method: a workbook that walks one analysis end to end, a facilitator's kit that keeps sessions moving, and a failure mode library so nobody starts from a blank page.
The budget said no. Let's build the case it can't.
Reliability work gets funded when it speaks finance: failure costs, avoided downtime, payback in dollars. Consulting turns your failure modes and downtime history into a business case leadership can approve.
Stop fighting fires. Start preventing them.
Most failures give warning. Almost nobody's listening. A fixed-scope assessment finds the risks that are costing you, ranked by what they'll cost next.
A step-by-step Excel workbook and guide for running one asset analysis: scoping, functions, FMEA worksheets, and task-selection logic, in the order the work actually happens.
Agendas, a facilitation script, printable worksheets, and a leadership brief - everything you need to run FMEA sessions that don't stall and keep the room with you.
450 worked failure modes across six equipment classes: centrifugal pumps, AC induction motors, industrial air compressors, gearboxes, fans & blowers, and belt conveyors. Start your FMEA from evidence instead of a blank page, then adjust for your machine, your duty, your plant.
Most RCM content teaches the seven steps. Almost nothing shows what running one costs in time, effort, and organizational friction. We documented a complete analysis from kickoff to a validated task list — the real doing, not the textbook version — and published it as a free worked example.
RCM facilitation, failure analysis, and condition monitoring support for teams that need senior reliability help without a senior reliability hire. Remote or on-site, scoped per job.
"Smart people, world-class equipment, the same reliability problems as every plant."
Apex Reliability Engineering is an independent reliability practice, founded by a working reliability engineer with 15+ years in maintenance and reliability. We build the templates and libraries that make rigorous methods usable, and we publish complete RCM analyses end to end so you can see how the work really goes.
