Maintaining Belt Drives  for Best Reliability

Maintaining Belt Drives for Best Reliability

Belt drives are often considered the fuse of the power transmission drive path, which can be an advantage for belt drives. In that line of thinking, not much thought is given to the impact on overall equipment reliability with respect to the belt drives connecting driver and machine.

RCM Is Leadership

RCM Is Leadership

The RELIABILITY Conference Forums (36 Minutes) 
by Marius Basson, The Aladon Network

Reliability-centered Maintenance (RCM) is not about improving asset performance, that’s what RCM does. What RCM is about is organizational transformation including:

Continuous Improvement

Leadership

Alignment

Unlocking the potential of the culture

Optimizing Your PM Program

Optimizing Your PM Program

The RELIABILITY Conference - 33:38 
by Steve Turner, Nexus Global

In this session we will present two PM Optimization case studies in detail and results from several other asset intensive industries. One case study will be from a green field power generation station and the other from a water utility that had a mix of new and very old assets. In both cases it was found that the vendor recommendations needed significant adjustment to suit site and operational conditions. Remembering that “not one size fits all” is the same line of logic required when rationalizing your asset strategies. PM Optimization is the process to achieve the highest potential asset uptime and the most cost effective with a result delivered to the bottom line in 1/6 of the time.

Reliability, Resilience and Damage

Reliability, Resilience and Damage

Research currently being carried out by the Center for Risk and Reliability, University of Maryland1, and funded by the U.S. Navy is aimed at quantifying reliability in scientific terms. The present study “relies on a science-based explanation of damage as the source of material failure and develops an alternative approach to reliability assessment based on the second law of thermodynamics.” Current reliability calculations are predisposed to a single failure mode or mechanism and assume a constant failure rate, while this research implies that reliability is a function of the level of damage a system can sustain, with the operational environment, operating conditions and operational envelope determining the rate of damage growth.

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Project Manager’s Guide

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Project Manager’s Guide

The Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Project Manager’s Guide uses a clear, flexible process and set of criteria so an organization can assess what it takes to successfully conduct and implement an RCM project and avoid pitfalls along the way to experiencing measured results that add significantly to the bottom line.

In addition, the guide includes a primer on RCM fundamentals, a section dedicated to sustaining benefits while continuously improving, and a glossary of key terms. The appendices offer useful resources to gain commitment for success.

Asset Criticality Ranking: Value for Each Management Level

Asset dependent organizations need to be continually educated and diligent about the importance of classifying assets in terms of the impact of asset failure on the organization. By using a prescriptive method to identify and classify failure consequences, organizations can most effectively allocate asset care resources within their enterprise asset management (EAM) model. Within the reliability-based maintenance (RBM) asset management model, this prescriptive means is a facilitated process called asset criticality ranking (ACR).
