Asset Performance Management 4.0 and Beyond

In any asset-intensive industry, businesses are pressured to continually improve asset performance and reliability while minimizing costs and ensuring regulatory compliance for e.g. safety. In this environment, optimizing maintenance is critical.

The Next Generation of Maintenance Reliability

Connected and integrated tools, sensors and software provide maximized uptime.

As industrial production rapidly transforms, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) drives plant-wide changes and enhanced asset health and maintenance management. Facility managers, engineers and technicians must be able to rely on their equipment’s operation. Monitoring assets and assessing their health is of paramount concern to detect problems before catastrophic failures.

Reliability & Information
Reliability Engineering for Maintenance

Reliability & Information

Problems with reliability appeared with the beginning of human activity. However, the ways of solving these problems were different and they were changing with growing complexity of technical systems. The retrospective view shows that the way of solving reliability problems depends on the ratio between the complexity of the system and the ability of people to obtain information about the system and its elements.

Does Relying on Criticality Put Your Organization at Risk? Part 1

This article is Part 1 of a series focusing on risk as an enabler for asset management. 

It argues the case for moving away from criticality to an ISO31000 risk-based approach. Part 2 will address how to effectively model asset risk in complex systems.

The MRO Dilemma: Major Time, Minor Spend
Work Execution Management

The MRO Dilemma: Major Time, Minor Spend

A universal situation in the world of the maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) supply chain is that managing the process consumes an inordinate amount of time from all plant departments. The MRO spend is only six to 10 percent of a plant’s total, but it absorbs 70 to 80 percent of all transactions and causes 50 percent of the emergencies affecting plant reliability.

Completing the Curve

Back in the June/July 2006 issue of Uptime, I authored an article entitled Expanding the Curve detailing why the traditional P-F curve was incomplete. While it was expected that the article might elicit both positive and negative comments, it came as a surprise how strong some of those opinions were.

From a Different Angle: A Perspective - Defects, P-F and the Rest of the Story

Think about all the initiator causes of failure that are not really related to maintenance. Initiator causes are those events, possibly microscopic, that initiate decay shown by the P-F curve. Examples of initiator causes might include heat, dirt, or overloading.
