Moving Down a Reliability Continuum in Pursuit of Excellence

Southern Gardens has embarked on a journey in pursuit of achieving excellence in reliability. The key is perseverance because the road is often bumpy. Continuous improvement moves you down the continuum, so when you think you are at the end, you realize there is always room for improvement.

Q&A - Leo Pike

Uptime Magazine recently caught up with Leo Pike, Administrator for Predictive Maintenance, Norampac-Mississauga. Leo has spent the last two years transforming maintenance at Norampac-Mississauga. Norampac is located near the Toronto International Airport in the city of Mississauga. This mill produces 160,000 metric tons of linerboard from 100% recycled fibers. Leo was charged with implementing ultrasound condition-based monitoring as a legacy project that could be transparently rolled out to other mills. To date, Pike has successfully implemented ultrasound-based trending and infrared thermography inspections on more than 90% of the plant's critical assets.

Leadership for Reliability

Uptime Alchemy: Developing Compounds to Implement Sustainable Change

by George Williams

For many of us, the road to reliability has had many ups and downs. At times, we feel overwhelmed with the enormity of effort required to make a positive impact on our organizations. This is compounded early in our journey when we quickly realize how many tools, approaches and methodologies exist, and how many opportunities for improvement we have at our facilities. Trying to have the biggest impact we, at times, jump right to advanced methods. Many an effort has failed due to an advanced methodology being utilized without laying the basic groundwork required to ensure a sustainable success. We, as reliability professionals, need to understand the relationship and interactions of these approaches and provide a level of understanding throughout our organization. To that end, it is time to major in…cringe…shriek…wait for it…“Chemistry.”

The Maintenance Function

Maintenance to many organizations is a word which provides little value to an organization when in fact it provides great value to any company when development, management, and discipline are applied. I think what is most misunderstood about maintenance is the true objective of the function. The objective of maintenance is to maintain the assets of a company so that they meet the reliability needs at an optimal cost.

The Effectiveness of a Quality Filtration Program

The goal of every lubrication program should be to ensure that all equipment receives and maintains the proper levels of lubrication such that no equipment fails due to inadequate or improper lubrication. In order for this to happen we must follow the 5R's of lubrication meaning the right lubricant; right condition; right location; right amount; right frequency are followed for each piece of equipment. Whether you are building a lubrication program from scratch or are falling in on an existing one the following four phases must be addressed in order to have an effective lubrication program that will meet your plant reliability goals.
