Abstract: While reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) boasts widespread success across industries, its efficacy within the complex environment of food and beverage manufacturing remains unclear. This study addresses this gap by analyzing the implementation and outcomes of an RCM program at a representative facility. Leveraging quantitative data, the research demonstrates the program’s transformative impact, including significant reductions in downtime, improved asset reliability, and substantial cost savings. Beyond these metrics, the study delves into the practical challenges encountered during RCM adoption and offers actionable solutions for potential implementers. This research extends beyond its case study, aiming to serve as a catalyst for broader industry adoption. By highlighting the tangible benefits and practical considerations of RCM in a food and beverage context, the study empowers manufacturers to unlock its potential, paving the way for enhanced food safety, optimized production flows, and a more resilient and competitive sector.
