A New Opportunity for the Maintenance Reliability Community

By John S Mitchell

A new term has risen above our horizon. It is being embraced by companies committed to being the best and has great interest and cachet at the highest executive levels.

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.

To that end, it is time to major in…cringe…shriek…wait for it…“Chemistry.”

The Effectiveness of a Quality Filtration Program

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.

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.

The objective of maintenance is to maintain the assets of a company so that they meet the reliability needs at an optimal cost.

Have you ever been involved in an attempt to improve the performance of your department or one function, such as maintenance or quality, in your plant or corporation? Ever wonder why the attempt did not work at all or failed to reach its full potential? If you have, the reason was probably a list of deficiencies or omissions, or perhaps it was because cosmic forces preordained that improvement is not possible. Sound familiar?

Predictive Maintenance ROI for Waste Water Treatment Facilities

Presented by Saul Cizek

Basic Premises

Understanding that the world is not logical, organized or consistent is fundamental to improving maintenance applications for industry. The moment our cave dwelling ancestors had a chance to pause and reflect in relative safety marked the beginning of philosophical thinking. No doubt, these ancestors realized in some fashion that organization is a key to survival. They might also realize that substantial knowledge was important. With the power of organization and the power of substance recognized the age of enlightenment is born.
