The RCM Blitz is a process used to develop a complete maintenance strategy by breaking a system down
into its individual components, determining how the components can fail and developing a process to
eliminate the failures, apply technologies to determine when a component has started to fail, or to
develop time based inspections to verify the condition or replace a component.
