Choose maintenance tasks by failure consequence and evidence.
Reliability-centered maintenance evaluates what an asset must do, how it can fail, what the consequences are, and which preventive, predictive, redesign, or run-to-failure strategy is appropriate for each important failure mode.
Connect maintenance work to equipment risk and production timing.
Maintenance systems work best when planning, scheduling, operators, reliability priorities, and feedback all use the same asset information.
Make maintenance more predictable and easier to sustain.
Clear priorities, standard work, defined ownership, good records, and consistent review reduce the amount of maintenance that becomes reactive.
CRIT-AStart with Function
Maintenance strategy should protect what the asset is required to do in its actual operating context.

Not every failure mode deserves the same maintenance effort; consequence and detectability matter.

Time-based replacement, condition monitoring, inspection, redesign, or run-to-failure should fit the actual failure pattern.

Work sequence.
Maintenance work should move through clear stages from request to preparation, execution, verification, and closeout.
Reliability trend.
Review whether the maintenance system is creating fewer failures and more stable production over time.
