Maintaining that waits for failure to intervene to occur resulting in production losses, high costs and decreased life cycle of the asset. In the Head of Department of Laboratories and Audiovisual Resources institution of higher education, it requires teams with opportunity for improvement in terms of reliability, maintainability and availability are identified. The objective was: proposal for implementation of maintenance through the methodology of Reliability Centered Maintenance to manage equipment availability; which consists of seven steps: 1) define the system and determine the criticality of equipment, 2) identify and define their functions; 3) determine failures; 4) establish failure modes; 5) determine the effects of failures; 6) assess consequences; 7) and develop a plan for equipment maintenance. As a result seven critical to equipment failure analysis were obtained; technical specifications; recommendations for use; Application forms and work orders; schedule of activities, maintenance strategies and indicators for the area. It is concluded that the objective to make a proposal for implementation of maintenance measures that support generating increasing the availability previously compliance with reliability and maintainability fulfilled.
