What to Expect After Implementation: Establishing a Strong Maintenance Program

The decisions you make during the implementation process can set the precedent for years afterwards and will certainly impact your future growth initiatives so it’s crucial to make this time count.

Leadership for Reliability

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.

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.

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.

Audit it. Improve it! Processes and KPIs for a Successful Condition Monitoring Program - Part 1

The RELIABILITY Conference 2016- Workshop Course
by Alan Friedman, Author - 90:39

Sometimes people go to work and do their jobs taking measurements and writing reports, often with great care and skill. Their reports and recommendations then travel into a deep abyss from which they never return and are never heard from again. Sound familiar? This situation is unfortunately a common one in the condition-monitoring world. Machine condition reports are generated to help the planners plan but the planners never look at the reports. They might not know how to interpret them or they may simply choose to ignore them. A healthy machine might be replaced on a PM schedule even though there is nothing wrong with it. A machine might failure catastrophically even though there was plenty of evidence was available to predict the impending failure.

It is important to be certain that reports reach the people who need them and that the reports are understood, valued and utilized. This comes under the “right reporting” component of a successful program. What is also needed is a process of follow up and review to verify the reports are accurate and the program is providing the benefits it should. In this sense, “right follow up and review” is directly linked to “right goals.” This is the part of the process where you determine if your goals are being met. If they are not, then make appropriate changes to the program to evolve it or improve it.

This short course will also discuss KPI’s to measure to insure you are getting the most from your vibration monitoring or CM program.
