MTA is based
on sound reliability principles, draws from
RCM2 principles and techniques
-
MTA is a Failure Mode
& Effect Analysis (FMEA) methodology used to
identify failure modes and determine
recommended tasks for less critical physical
assets
-
Focuses on
obvious and known failure modes
Many
organizations face resource constraints that
prevent them from applying RCM2 to all their
significant assets in a timely fashion.
Despite this, responsible asset managers must
find a way to address their asset maintenance
program
shortcomings within a reasonable timeframe.
This has prompted the need for a complementary
structured methodology that is faster and less
resource intensive.
This
methodology, known as Maintenance Task
Analysis (MTA), is coupled with selection
criteria to ensure that a risk appropriate
methodology is always used.
