The following article describes the application of the RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance) according to Risk Management, in a Sterilized equipment in a food business. The need to apply the RCM, is due to the fact that the Sterilized equipment had a very low availability of equipment, as well as an increase in maintenance costs, in the scrap of materials, in addition to affecting the quality and safety of the sterilized product. The sterilizing equipment was manufactured in 1955, and with the passage of time, most of its internal metal components had a high rate of corrosion, generating a poor synchronization, damaging the product to be sterilized. Due to these problems, there were constantly defaults in production programs, as well as deliveries to customers.
