The lead sentence uses the term Reliability-centered maintenance (hyphenated), and I suspect this is the most common usage. This article should probably be renamed, but at a minimum, Reliability-centered maintenance and Reliability centered maintenance should redirect to the same place. 70.247.164.231 (talk) 23:41, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article would be improved if the author could relate RCM to other maintenance philosophy, thereby providing context. A good place would be at the start of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.168.76.216 (talk) 13:56, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

'The term "reliability-centered maintenance" authored by Tom Matteson, Stanley Nowlan and Howard Heap' has a reference to https://reliabilityweb.com/articles/entry/optimizing-proactive-maintenance-using-rcm, which lists the authors as Anthony M (Mac) Smith, Neil Meyer, Clint Shima. Is this the correct reference? Or is the author list in the article wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.213.253.173 (talk) 08:22, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Certainly the authors of this article are not the inventors of the term. It seems some were in the article there is a historical section that cited Matteson, Nowlan and Heap as the authors. Apetrov09703 (talk) 11:35, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
