The Manufacturing Game

Introduction

This paper discusses the application of computer simulation to the management of the maintenance function at DuPont. Large Scale simulation models often have been used to analyze technical problems of plant operation. Typically, these models mimic the operation of the plant and are used to predict capacity and uptime for alternative equipment configurations. These models require input assumptions for key parameters such as mean time between failure and mean time to repair.

Leadership for Reliability

Why TEEP (Total Effective Equipment Performance)?

by Doug Plucknette

Understanding where to apply reliability measures is a foundational element of reliability engineering. If you want to improve a process, you need to understand the present level of reliability, where the losses or deficiencies are located and what you can do to reduce or eliminate these losses. One of the biggest problems regarding reliability measures is there are so many of them, so much so that they have begun to overlap, adding further confusion to those who are in the process of learning and applying the measures.
