Wrench Time Wonder

Question: What is the quickest way to improve wrench time?

Answer: Short repairs during PMs (defined as short but complete repairs on problems found during PMs that are done during the PM).

To see how this works let's list the activities of a PM from soup to nuts.

Activity

Get job assignment

Move truck (equipment) from yard (dead line) to bay

...

Travel to job with materials and tools (field and infrastructure)

Quick safety walk down

Perform work (this is the only real wrench time)

Clean up work area on truck

Unlock, un-Tag

Move truck to go line, return to operations

Return tools and excess materials

Do paperwork, work order, closing comments

The Evolution of Proactive and Condition Based Maintenance: Get More Out of Your Data

The RELIABILITY Conference Learning Session - 40:54
by Frederic Baudart, Fluke Corporation

How maintenance teams are using tiered maintenance, wireless tools and IIoT data management to get around the barriers to predictive maintenance implementation.

The combination of tiered maintenance, wireless tools/sensors and integrated technician/manager data management is allowing teams to move past long-standing barriers to predictive maintenance implementation. By reducing the level of difficulty and therefore the perceived degree of change and hardship, these techniques allow teams to implement a scaled approach to reliability, reflective of available resources and priorities. This paper evaluates how tiered maintenance is being applied and where it’s successful; examines the role that ease-of-use and automatic data capture plays regarding wireless thermal, vibration and electrical test tools and sensors; and assesses the workflows between technician and manager, with IIoT-facilitated data management and communication at the core.

Companies’ explosive focus on improving financial performance through leveraged (i.e., fixed) asset optimization has become even more fiery with the rapid adoption of the Industrial Internet, which enables multitudes of devices and equipment to be connected. The result of this combination is accelerating levels of asset management innovations and creativity not seen in the industrial asset space from both a products and services perspective.

Minimize Costs Through Machine Learning

Machine learning is an approach of exploring and building algorithms that enable computers to continuously learn and adapt.

With utilities, unknown failures and the maintenance that goes into fixing them can add up at lightning speeds. A recent study conducted by GlobalData Power estimates that expenditures for wind turbine maintenance have been projected to rise from $9.25 billion to $17 billion by 2020.

PM and Scheduled or Condition-Based Acoustic Lubrication

Acoustic lubrication has taken off with afterburners lit (old aviation phrase). During the 2017 RELIABILITY Conference™ hosted by Reliabilityweb.com^®, several representatives from various organizations remarked at how well their acoustic lubrication program had made such a difference. As an example, the cost savings by way of reduced man-hours using time-based lubrication and the amount of grease not purchased are two reasons.
