The Effects of Maintenance on Reliability

Publisher's Note: I will caution you that a) Bill Brinkley comes from the commercial Aviation industry where reliability is not optional and b) he pulls no punches when speaking to industrial maintenance professionals. I an interested in hearing what you can take away from this paper that was presented at IMC-2007. You can email me your comments or you can post them here.

In an airline environment, maintenance is king. An aircraft receives about 17 man-hours of maintenance for every flight hour. That may seem excessive - unless you are the one riding in that aircraft. So - the question is, do aircraft really break all that often and do they need that much maintenance? Are they that unreliable? The answer, of course, is no.

Aircraft are designed to be reliable, so why perform all that maintenance? Over ninety percent of the maintenance performed on an aircraft is preventive or servicing in nature. Preventive maintenance is done to maximize availability of the aircraft for operational service and minimize the number of failures occurring at inconvenient times or places.

Advancing Operational Excellence with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

IMC-2018 Learning Zone 17:00

by Rajiv Anand

The industrial plant of the future is closer than you think. As digitized assets, infrastructure, and processes become standard operating requirements aimed at improving safety, efficiency, and reliability, they've paved the way for artificial intelligence to enable a new breed of intelligent, semi-autonomous or autonomous industrial plants.

Successful RCM Application – Lessons Learned

The authors, having been involved with RCM from its first introduction to the U.S. commercial and industrial world in the early 1980s, have experienced virtually every characteristic that contributes to successful and likewise not-so-successful RCM programs. In this chapter, we will attempt to give you the benefits of our 35-plus combined years of RCM experience and the lessons we and others have had to learn along the way. It is our hope that, by knowing where the more significant potholes lurk, you may avoid them. Our discussion here will focus on four of the key Lessons Learned, but we encourage you to see our entire discourse on this subject in Reference 1, pages 203-221.

Reliability Engineering for Maintenance

Benefits of Developing and Optimizing Effective Maintenance Strategies

The RELIABILITY Conference - 47:14
by Chad Broussard, Phillips 66 and Chris Colson, Allied Reliability Group

Developing, implementing, and sustaining effective maintenance strategies are common obstacles for all organizations. This presentation shares insight into one company’s journey through the implementation of failure-based maintenance strategies, including Preventive Maintenance (PM), Predictive Maintenance (PdM), and Operator Care tasks. Performing the correct work with the correct knowledge and expertise is vital to the operations of a business. Improved equipment reliability requires not only the detection of failures but also improved techniques through proper skills training. Doing so begins with a plan and follows through execution. Success of such is measured through the expectations of precision maintenance and operational techniques that eliminate the root cause of equipment failure. This implementation required constant collaboration between Operations, Maintenance Mechanics, PdM Technicians, Planners, Schedulers, Supervisors, and Management to ultimately improve increased capacity through equipment reliability, all of which has resulted in achieving measurable financial improvements.
