Reliability & Information
Reliability Engineering for Maintenance

Reliability & Information

Problems with reliability appeared with the beginning of human activity. However, the ways of solving these problems were different and they were changing with growing complexity of technical systems. The retrospective view shows that the way of solving reliability problems depends on the ratio between the complexity of the system and the ability of people to obtain information about the system and its elements.

Analyzing Repairable System Failures Data

Many reliability engineers throughout history have had concerns with the reliability of the repairable system. Several researchers have presented a few calculation or estimation techniques to achieve repairable system reliability. This article explains the mean cumulative function (MCF) as a powerful and easy technique to estimate and monitor repairable system reliability.

Designing for Reliability

IMC-2016 RAP Talk - 17:57
by Ramesh Gulati, Jacobs

According to Ramesh Gulati, designing for reliability (DfR) is the right approach to build reliability in assets. Not sure what DfR is? In this RAP Talk from IMC-2016, Gulati presents a comprehensive overview on the topic and how it will reduce operations & maintenance costs by a lot. Throughout the presentation, he stresses that this is a journey and requires a different kind of culture.

Induction Heating and Safe Operations in the Industrial Workplace

by Jack Rubinger

So many people rely on induction heating every day, possibly without even knowing it. Induction heating is used to seal the caps of food containers and pharmaceuticals. A layer of aluminum foil is placed over the bottle or jar opening and induction heating machines fuse it to the container. This provides a tamper-resistant seal, since altering the contents requires breaking the foil.

The Journey to World-Class Pump Reliability

by Phil Beelendorf

What are the essential elements of a world-class pump reliability program? What best practices lower total cost of ownership and which ones create little value? Is mean time between failures (MTBF) the best measure of improved performance? Roquette America's search for the answers to these questions led the global leader of innovative nutritional ingredients processed from renewable, plant-based raw materials on a journey in search of excellence.

Equipment Reliability Assessment by Sampling Standard Information from Operations

Amtrak operates and maintains over 5,000 units of rolling stock that make up or support trains moving passengers mainly on the Northeast coast of the United States, while, also connecting the most populated regions. To improve business results, Amtrak tracks reliability performance of its locomotives and cars by analyzing standard information generated from its operations and maintenance.
