<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the application of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) on the extruder machine to optimize the maintenance system and enhance production reliability. The extruder, which plays a critical role in the manufacturing industry, often experiences failures leading to downtime and increased maintenance costs. The RCM method is applied to determine an effective maintenance strategy by analyzing the machine functions, failure modes, and the impact of those failures. Data was collected through direct observations, interviews with operators, and the collection of existing maintenance records. The results of the study indicate that the application of RCM can reduce failure frequency, decrease downtime, and improve overall operational efficiency. This failure-based maintenance strategy proves effective in improving the reliability of the extruder machine and optimizing maintenance resource management. This research contributes to the development of reliability-based maintenance systems in manufacturing industries, particularly for critical machines like extruders.Keywords: Reliability Centered Maintenance, Extruder Machine, Reliability, Maintenance, Downtime]]>
