Reliability-Centered Maintenance(RCM)... consists essentially of a logical analysis procedure used to determine the most cost-effective maintenance program, by scheduling maintenance only on those items which could, by their failure, affect safety or operational economy, and then determine the type of maintenance tasks needed to prevent their failure. 7, record 3, English, - reliability%2Dcentered%20maintenance

After being created by the commercial aviation industry, RCM was adopted by the U.S. military (beginning in the mid-1970s) and by the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry (in the 1980s).

Parametric release can be used as an operational alternative to routine release testing for the drug product. Sterility testing for terminally sterilized drug products is one example. In this case, the release of a batch is based on results from monitoring specific parameters e. g., temperature and pressure, during the terminal sterilization phase(s) of drug product manufacturing. These parameters can generally be more measured, so that they are more reliable in predicting sterility assurance than is end-product sterility testing. It is important to note that the sterilization process should be adequately validated before parametric release is proposed. When parametric release is performed, the attribute which is indirectly controlled(e. g., sterility), together with a reference to the associated test procedure, still should be included in the specifications. 1, record 9, English, - process%20parametric%20release%20submission
