Reliabilityweb.com Announces Advocates for Women in Reliability and Asset Management

[Fort Myers, Florida, 5/7/2019 ] Reliabilityweb.com® and the Association of Asset Management Professionals are pleased to announce that the following firms have signed on as advocates for Women in Reliability and Asset Management (WIRAM): Accenture, Intel®, Interloc Solutions and Fiix®.

About each advocate:

Accenture has found that a culture of equality, where everyone has an equal chance to advance, “is a powerful multiplier of innovation and growth.” It goes beyond ethics – it is a business priority. The most equal organizations have an innovation mindset that is six times higher than at the least equal organizations, and innovation means economic potential. 

For Intel, diversity is a journey and a lifestyle. Setting the course for their definition of full representation of women and underrepresented minorities, Intel reached their goal in October 2018, two years ahead of schedule. Recognizing that diversity and inclusion are critical to success is just one step. It’s action and efforts that lift goals into reality. Intel believes a diverse workforce creates a solid foundation for building an inclusive culture, fueling innovation and delivering a positive impact to employees, partners, and customers. Diverse ways of thinking make the impossible possible.

Interloc Solutions, an IBM Maximo EAM and Mobile Informer Software and Services Reliability Certified Consulting Organization, supports the UN Call for Code, a global initiative that helps developers use their coding skills to drive positive and long-lasting change, as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goal for gender equality. In addition, Interloc Solutions’ EVP of Business Development and Marketing, Gretchen Gallagher, has said that gender diversity will bring a more complete perspective to the reliability and asset management industry.

Fiix, the leading provider of cloud-based maintenance management software, is in the business of creating a more sustainable world. In alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, they are committed to ensuring gender diversity in a predominately male field to give underrepresented voices an opportunity to be heard.

Women in Reliability and Asset Management offers women working in the reliability and asset management fields a professional peer group, a chance to expand their networks, opportunities for local group leadership, and provides opportunities to enhance their leadership skills.

WIRAM members can also take advantage of opportunities to enhance their leadership skills, join face-to-face roundtables at industry events, access thought leadership, and provide mentorship to STEM students.

Achieving Trouble Free Bearing Life Through Defect Elimination

When a machine is designed, one of the major considerations the engineer must make is the selection of proper rolling element bearings. Some of the factors to consider in selecting bearings are shaft speeds, loads (both axial and radial), the environment they will run in, how to relube them, the duty cycle, etc.

Who Does This Belong To?

In today’s fast-paced connected world, you and your organization create an abundance of data. In the past, large corporations with multiple locations relied on in person site visits or information provided by the on-site team for updates to productivity in facilities. But what if there was a way to do this remotely?

How Forgotten Data / Information Can Cost Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars

There was a terrible fire in a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) plant. It destroyed piping and a critical air cooler (fin fan) and damaged pumps, valves, cables and supports. Fortunately, although there were injuries, no one died.

From Good to Great

A large water utility decided to investigate maintenance reliability best practices. There were eight different treatment plants and eight different maintenance managers.

So What?

A week after the plant started up after an annual planned outage, an injection pump motor failed. The motor’s insulation had failed, shorting between phases.

Why Things Don’t Go According to Plan

We worked with Newark Airport, NJ, testing lube samples from ground service vehicles. For years, results were unremarkable until, during cold months, gasoline engines showed elevated abrasives with corresponding Fe (iron) wear and Si (silicon), an indicator of abrasives.

Do Not Forget Key Staff

A large water utility decided to develop and implement a corporate risk management program that could identify and manage the top twenty-five risks across the organization considering three focus areas: corporate, operational and asset risks.

Enable RAM by Capturing Quality Asset Data Through an Effective Mobile Solution

Skookum maintains infrastructure and equipment across twenty national sites and is committed to providing customers with higher reliability and enabling their asset management program. These objectives require quality asset information to improve maintenance outcomes, make repair versus replace decisions, and drive the cost curve lower.

Asset Information Governance
Is It the Missing Link for Asset Management?

In 2006, British mathematician Clive Humby famously stated that “data is the new oil,” recognizing that the transformation of data into useful information would become a global driver of economic growth.
