RCM Desktop Benefits

RCM Desktop software has been developed to provide advanced support for the application of RCM. Close attention has been paid to the role of the RCM Facilitator in order to maximise productivity by providing special ease-of-use and speed-of-use features:

• Productivity gains over other RCM software are impressive, typically reducing facilitator effort in documenting an RCM analysis by 50%​
• Facilitator confidence is boosted by the productivity features; for example, a facilitator is more likely to tackle Worth-doing and Failure-finding Interval calculations "live" during the analysis meetings because the RCM Desktop built-in calculators provide a mechanism to simplify the calculations and automatically convert them into readable English text (ready for pasting into a Supporting Comments box)
• The RCM analysis group members remain more focused because the RCM Desktop productivity features eliminate meeting "dead" time (eg time when the facilitator is busy writing or calculating) that would otherwise lead to a loss of concentration​

• ​RCM Desktop includes many features specifically designed to make it quick and easy to extract information from one analysis and incorporate it into another analysis. This massively reduces the time (from hours to minutes) taken to template a new RCM analysis from other analyses
• Available in four different editions and for single-user or multiple-user applications, RCM Desktop software caters for all RCM projects and budgets (from a single facilitator working alone to a large team working on a massive RCM programme)
• RCM Desktop is upwards compatible permitting upgrades from one edition to another as an RCM programme grows in size, complexity and the number of facilitators involved. End-users embarking on an RCM project can, therefore, limit their costs initially by purchasing the basic edition of RCM Desktop and upgrade to the intermediate or advanced editions as confidence and experience in RCM grows.
