by George Krauter and James Rogers

Overcoming A Typical Testing Dilemma We WANT to Test, But We DON’T (really) Want to Find Anyth

By George Frey

Being both Instrumentation & Electrical (I&E) planner and electrical testing supervisor can be an uncomfortable position. You want to do your job well and keep the plant running at tip-top shape, but if you find a motor or process problem, you know it will cost money to fix it. It can be the proverbial double-edged sword. For those of us in the electric motor testing business, this is an all too familiar situation. In other words, what are the repercussions of a test failure? How will failing a test affect the motor? Could it be out of commission? How much money is it going to cost to replace or repair?

How to Develop a Spare Parts Stocking Strategy

By Kris Goly

Consequently, it is important to develop management strategies to ensure that the required levels of plant uptime, cost and business risk are met at the lowest possible cost.
