Large organisations across the world constantly seek to ensure the optimal operation of their processes to remain competitive against their industry peers. This study seeks to help the organisation improve maintenance performance by developing a framework that can be adopted by the organisation in implementing Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM). This study develops a model to help companies to adopt RCM and to do that, a company were selected to test the model. A questionnaire was sent to a selected population to gather the views of people regarding maintenance within the selected organisation. This is achieved by first investigating the current maintenance regime in Company Y via a survey. Historical data relating to maintenance were obtained and analysed to highlight problem areas. Plant documents relating to maintenance policies were sought for the understanding of the status quo. The results obtained indicate that from 2016 to 2021, the organisation did not meet the maintenance target of 95% and there are major maintenance issues, which have affected the equipment availability and organisation’s productivity. Thus, a guideline for the implementation of RCM was developed for use. The guideline will be useful for organisations in their quest to achieve RCM for optimal productivity.
