Centralized Data Storage and Ability to Organize Analyses Based on System Configuration
RCM++ offers centralized data storage and enables multiple users to work cooperatively on analysis projects. You can define configurable settings for the entire organization so that all system users follow consistent analysis and reporting formats. You also have the option to limit access to specific information based on permission levels defined for each user account. The ability to define the system configuration in a hierarchical tree structure provides a flexible and intuitive way to manage analysis information at the system, assembly and/or component level.
Store Analysis Data in Access, SQL Server or Oracle Databases
With the release of Version 5, RCM++ has added support for SQL Server (2005/8) and Oracle (10g/11g) databases. The software now has a single interface that offers the choice of storing analysis data in a Standard database (Microsoft Access) or in a more robust Enterprise database (SQL Server or Oracle). If you purchase an RCM++ Enterprise license, you will be able to work with both database types.
Also new in Version 5, authorized users now have the ability to manage user accounts with specific permissions that are based on access level and/or project. For example, a user may have read/write access to one project, read-only access to another project and no access at all to a third project. The personalized My Portal window provides quick access to the analysis information that is important to each user.
Extensive Customization Options
RCM++ provides predefined profiles that make it easy to configure the analysis workspace to fit the major RCM and FMEA reporting standards (such as ATA MSG-3 and SAE JA1011/1012 for RCM and SAE J1739, AIAG and MIL-STD-1629A for FMEA). In addition, the software offers flexible capabilities to customize any of the sample profiles or create your own settings to meet the specific needs of your organization. Some of the configuration options include the ability to:
- Define the data fields you want to capture and display, including your own user-defined text, date and number fields or customized drop-down lists.
- Set the classifications, categories and other built-in drop-down lists throughout the software.
- Define the logic and rating scales that will be used for RCM equipment selection, failure effect categorization, maintenance task selection and FMEA risk priority numbers.
Support for Large, Multi-Level System Configurations
RCM++’s flexible System Hierarchy panel allows you to manage large, multi-level system configurations with a nearly unlimited number of levels and items within each level. You can fully define the properties for each item (e.g. supplier, part number, reliability characteristics) and you can perform RCM and related analyses at any level within the configuration. To save time, you can automatically import system configuration data from an external Bill of Materials data file.
