User-definable RCM Decision Logic

This feature is included in the Ultimate and Advanced Editions
Time-saving rating....
Picture
RCM Desktop allows you to use any RCM decision or task selection logic or algorithm. There are many "standard" ones in use and it is likely that one of them will meet your requirements. Examples are:
Nolan & Heap RCM Decision Diagram 1978
Nolan & Heap RCM Decision Diagram 1978
MSG3 2003.1 Systems Powerplant Logic Diagram
MSG3 2003.1 Systems Powerplant Logic Diagram
SAE JA1012 Example Decision Algorithm 2002
SAE JA1012 Example Decision Algorithm 2002
But what if, say, your industry regulator enforces a requirement that is incompatible with all of the standard algorithms?

This is not a problem - RCM Desktop enables you to define your own decision logic.

You draw the decision logic using the built-in editor. The example shows an additional question being added to an existing decision algorithm.

RCM Desktop checks the algorithm for errors and will only allow it to be used once the checks have all been passed.
Customising the Decision Logic
This video shows how to:
  • Create a new entry in the decision logic list
  • Launch the decision logic editor
  • Display and adjust the editor's grid
  • Draw question boxes
  • Set question box properties
  • Enter detailed technical feasibility and worth doing questions
  • Link question boxes and set the link properties
  • Save the edited decision logic to the RCM database
