Theoretical physicist Dr. Fritjof Capra explores the parallels between modern physics and Eastern mysticism in “The Tao of Physics”. Inspired by his work, explore the core principles of Taoism and their practical applications for elevating reliability in maintenance practices.
The International Maintenance Conference (IMC) provides a fresh, positive community-based curated experience to gain knowledge and a positive perspective for advancing reliability and asset management through people, their managers, the strategy, the processes, the data and the technology.
A better answer is that the maintenance engineer's job is to quickly return the equipment to an operational state, while the reliability engineer's job is to prevent failure, as per Reliabilityweb.com.
Predictive maintenance is a critical component of a comprehensive reliability program. The practice of monitoring equipment for defects and potential failure has been shown to increase uptime, reduce maintenance cost, and prevent catastrophic equipment failure.

Does your facility management (FM) team fall short of their full potential and struggle to keep up with tasks?
Fear not! Here’s a cheat sheet with five tech-driven strategies that will propel your team's efficiency to new heights. These strategies will help you transform your FM operations into a well-oiled machine—even if you're not a tech expert.
This paper is a continuation of Part A, published on July 31, 2023, apropos a 7 step approach to assess and measure the condition of ageing assetswith respect to physical degradation, loss of performance, and obsolescence.
Asset condition assessment (ACA), asset health index (AHI), and asset remaining life (RL) all have the same essence, and all share a common goal: to assess and measure the condition of an asset in terms of physical degradation, loss of performance, and obsolescence.
In modern engineering asset management, the minimization of maintenance expenses, maximization of equipment availability and reliability, and reduction of human and environmental hazards are crucial objectives.
