However, in some cases, series of breakdown occurred with the maintenance services in-place. This
raised the doubts on the reliability and effectiveness of the maintenance services that being exercised.
In general, there are many types of maintenance services nonetheless which suit best for medical
equipment need to be identified. This paper is to identify the right maintenance services for medical
equipment in hospital using Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM). The equipment was selected
based on the criticality and the breakdown history. Failure factors of breakdown were identified and
based on this data, a right maintenance services were recommended for the further action. |
