How things fail

How Things Fail

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Designing for Reliability in Capital Projects and Supporting Operational Excellence

Designing for Reliability

An Introduction to a Common Sense Strategy

This presentation will provide a framework for mapping operational excellence into the capital projects process and designing for reliability, reviewing operational excellence principles with a view on how to integrate those principles in the design and capital projects process, providing for reliability and availability, ease of operation and ease of maintenance.

Design for Reliability (DfR): A Practical Case Study

Design for Reliability (DfR): A Practical Case Study

Designing for reliable sustainable assets is paramount in any capital project, yet most projects forgo design for reliability (DfR) and follow a typical asset lifecycle approach without much attention to design-related defects and how they impact maintainability, operability, reliability, energy (MORE), etc.

2020: Time Odyssey to STOP Machinery Breakdown LOSSES

2020: Time Odyssey to STOP Machinery Breakdown LOSSES

Among all of the global challenges we faced and solved during the year 2020, there is one that will stand out in our industry and will forever change the way we manufacture our products. Breakdowns used to dominate our industry severely and negatively affecting output (GNP). 

Great Safety Is Great Business

Great Safety Is Great Business

Thousands of electrical personnel are injured or killed annually on the job because of electrical accidents. Companies lose millions of dollars from unplanned power interruptions or outages due to failing critical electrical assets. Can these two scenarios be eliminated by technology? The answer is yes!

Defining Roles and Responsibilities Using RACI

Defining Roles and Responsibilities Using RACI

When an organization clearly defines roles and responsibilities, everyone gets on the same page and seeming the same vision how we work together as a team. Use the analogy that having everyone working together is like pulling an elephant. So how does one pull an elephant? By aligning everyone’s thinking so that we work together toward a common goal.

Taming the Explosion of IIoT Data with 3rd Gen AI Methods and More

Taming the Explosion of IIoT Data with 3rd Gen AI Methods and More

Asset reliability and process professionals face an enormous challenged to tame the tsunami of data and turn it into useful information. With the advent of cheap IIoT devices, sensor data is growing 50 times faster than business data with only 2% of it actually being used! By 2025 the number of devices will double to 21 billion.

Extending Plant Diesel Generator Service Life Through RCM Practices

Extending Plant Diesel Generator Service Life Through RCM Practices

Central Arizona Project (CAP) will detail their efforts to avoid a major capital replacement project through reliability practices. This presentation will detail the process, the plan, the implementation and ensuing results.

Reliability Centered Maintenance: Spreading Successful Strategies Worldwide

Reliability Centered Maintenance: Spreading Successful Strategies Worldwide

Learn how JLL develops and delivers a world-class asset strategy management program to its clients, balancing cost, risk, and performance; how they leverage their power and large data lake to refine and continuously improve their program; and how the firm applies lessons learned from just one client or a single vertical across the organization, benefiting everyone.

Value Stream Mapping as a Tool for Waste Time Elimination: A Case Study

Value Stream Mapping as a Tool for Waste Time Elimination: A Case Study

One lean manufacturing tool used to eliminate non-added-value activities in production lines is value stream mapping (VSM). VSM identifies wastage of resources and eliminates or reduces them to improve productivity. VSM clearly shows the ineffectiveness of action, measures the waste level and supports in designing the appropriate changes, independently and economically.

Designing Critical Electrical Infrastructure at the Intersection of Safety and Reliability

Designing Critical Electrical Infrastructure at the Intersection of Safety and Reliability

This presentation explores opportunities in the synergy of electrical asset management and occupational electrical safety. Methods are discussed to apply and optimize the application of the Uptime Elements and other proven reliability management systems and tools to help assure performance of assets critical to electrical safety.

Importance of Lockout/Tagout, and Electrical Safety in Industrial Facilities

Importance of Lockout/Tagout, and Electrical Safety in Industrial Facilities

A worker’s confidence in electrical safety directly impacts his/her task productivity. This presentation will focus on the various challenges involved in mechanical and electrical lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, NFPA guidelines and ways to enhance workers’ confidence and productivity while performing maintenance tasks through the use of permanent electrical safety devices (PESDs).
