Abstract
The number of small to medium scale industries makes the development of a low cost and easy to use application to support maintenance programs development is necessary. Besides for industries, the developed application can be used also in the academic field for research. For cost reasons, the application is developed using Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel. The development of the application is carried out in three steps, i.e. the determination of application specifications, the programming in Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel, and the validation and user-friendly test. The application is developed by considering the relationship between the risk quantification of a failure effect and the selection of a maintenance task and its interval. The effectiveness assessments are based on the failure risk reduction up to an acceptable level. The developed application is named "Quantitative RCM/MSG". The application can conduct a database management according to the steps of the RCM/MSG method. The application can determine the required maintenance tasks and intervals for the category of evident and hidden failure effects by taking the safety and financial aspects into account. This application does its functions correctly and easy to use. For further application development, application can be developed using series and combination systems.

Highlights
Doing maintenance to a company’s product is very important
2.1 Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a process used to determine what must be done to ensure that each physical asset works as desired [1,3]
The development of the RCM/MSG quantification application conducted in this study gives some insight that the specifications used to develop RCM / MSG applications using Microsoft Access shows that the application can accommodate RCM / Maintenance Steering Group-3 (MSG-3) logic, data management, determine the failure analysis, effective maintenance tasks and maintenance intervals
Summary
Doing maintenance to a company’s product is very important. Maintenance itself can affect to safety, maintenance costs, the reliability of system and productivity. Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) or Maintenance Steering Group-3 (MSG-3) is one of the processes used to make maintenance programs. RCM is a method used to determine what must be done to ensure each physical asset to keep working according to what is desired or in accordance with the process to determine effective care [1]. MSG-3 is a method used to determine maintenance tasks and scheduled maintenance intervals to avoid large losses and ensure physical assets continue to work as desired [2]
