The CMRP exams test your knowledge of core maintenance and reliability concepts, so it’s important to have a solid grasp of key terminology. Terms like "mean time between failures (MTBF)," "mean time to repair (MTTR)," "failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA)," and "root cause analysis (RCA)" are commonly referenced in the exam.
Key Concepts to Focus On:
- Preventive Maintenance (PM): Understand how PM programs are developed and managed.
- Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM): Know the principles of RCM and how it applies to equipment reliability.
- Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM): Familiarize yourself with the strategies for monitoring equipment conditions.
- Work Management Processes: Learn about work orders, planning, and scheduling in maintenance management.
Tip: Create flashcards with key concepts and definitions to reinforce your understanding and aid in quick recall.
