Failure Elimination Made Simple

by Ricky Smith, CPMM, CMRP and Bill Keeter, CMRP

How good is your organization at identifying failures? Of course you see failures when they occur, but can you identify when recurring failures are creating serious equipment reliability issues?

Asset Criticality Ranking: Value for Each Management Level

Asset dependent organizations need to be continually educated and diligent about the importance of classifying assets in terms of the impact of asset failure on the organization. By using a prescriptive method to identify and classify failure consequences, organizations can most effectively allocate asset care resources within their enterprise asset management (EAM) model. Within the reliability-based maintenance (RBM) asset management model, this prescriptive means is a facilitated process called asset criticality ranking (ACR).

Road to Gold Hamilton Sunstrand quest to achieve UTC’s Ace Gold Status

by Steven Piazza, Hamilton Sunstrand (Winner Uptime Magazine PdM Program of Year Award Best Ultrasound Program for 2007)

The maintenance aspect of our jobs would be easy if we could have the advanced knowledge of machinery and equipment failures. By closely predicting the life cycle of parts and equipment it would be simple to schedule the repairs and the replacement of equipment and manufacturing systems. As we all know, accurate and timely scheduling team up to drive the effectiveness and efficiency of our maintenance resources.
