Data Driven Reliability Strategies

IMC-2016 Reliability Engineering for Maintenance Learning Session - 45:33
by Alejandro Erives, Stepan Company

Stepan is a chemical company producing specialty and intermediate chemicals such as surfactants, polymers, and other specialty products. A broad description of our goals include improving asset utilization, reducing cost, and improving efficiency.

Maintenance & Reliability professionals have a wide array of tools at our disposal. From machinery required for maintenance to technology used for predictive maintenance the list is nearly endless. However, one often overlooked tool type is that of data analysis. Some of the tools available to a Maintenance & Reliability Engineer include Pareto analysis, life-data analysis (Weibull), failure trend analysis (Crow-AMSAA), and process data analysis (Process-Weibull).

Much as a good reliability program will use the right physical tools as part of a cohesive program, the data analysis tools can also be leveraged in a cohesive fashion to arrive at ever increasing reliability. This presentation describes one approach to utilize both production data and CMMS/Maintenance data to drive decisions related to reliability strategy development.

Precision Maintenance Strategies – 40 Years Post-RCM

Video Tutorial - 16:18
By Dr. David H. Worledge, Asset Performance Technologies, Inc.

We all learned invaluable lessons from Reliability Centered Maintenance about how to develop maintenance strategies, but that was almost 40 years ago – in a different century! This webcast is about what “Precision Maintenance” means for strategy development today, well into the 21st century.

Asset Condition Management

Creating Applicable & Effective Condition-based Maintenance

Video Tutorial - 15:04
By Derek Burley, Blue Sky Reliability Consulting, LLC.

This presentation discusses the basic requirements to ensure that your CBM tasks are not simply applicable but also make financial sense and deliver value over time to your organization. There is a short overview of the P-F curve and P-F intervals.

Failure Modes - Back to Basics

Video Tutorial - 17:54
By Derek Burley, Blue Sky Reliability Consulting LLC.

This presentation covers the basics of failure modes. Failure mode(s) is a term often used in reliability but often it seems to mean different things to different people and often causes confusion. This presentation cuts through that confusion and provides clarity on what it means.

Industrial Predictive Analytics for Improving Asset Performance: Bridging IT and OT

IMC-2015 RAP Talk - 19:35
by Greg Bentley, CEO- Bentley Systems

In today’s operations of industrial facilities and infrastructure assets, operations and maintenance professionals need effective strategies to benefit from an unprecedented volume of “big data”. It is streaming in from the “Internet of Things”, (sensors and meters on equipment, structures and assets), from UAVs able to perform continuous surveys and inspections, and from market sources. The challenge lies in transforming all that data into meaningful information and operational visibility, which can inform decision support and improve asset performance.

Planning for Reliability Transformation - The ISO55000 Trojan Horse

Improvement in asset reliability can drive huge financial benefits but the efforts to capture these benefits often fall short. This presentation suggests that long-term planning and coordination are critical success factors and offers an outline of the most important elements of a plan.

Proactive Maintenance – Journey to Reliability

The path to Proactive Maintenance is a difficult one, and you may not recognize it, but you are already traveling this road! In truth, the well run maintenance organization will continue to employ some elements of reactive, preventive, and predictive strategies. None of these however, including predictive maintenance (PdM), improves machine reliability. Each one, to a greater or lesser extent, is simply reacting to a machine symptom, ie., vibration, temperature, noise, etc. Proactive maintenance looks beyond the symptom to the cause and through precision maintenance, and a focus on reliability can actually improve machine operation.

Asset or Maintenance Management - What Are We Trying to Standardize?

An hour long presentation by Terry Wireman, Senior VP, Strategic Development, Vesta Partners

First there was PAS-55. Now we have a Draft International Standard (DIS) focusing on asset management (proposed ISO-55000). Why would companies want to be certified under an asset management standard? How will this impact them financially? What will this mean for maintenance and reliability professionals? These and other issues will be explored during the webinar.

Improved Product Quality through Proactive Maintenance

A forty minute long presentation by Kevin Lewton, Vice President, Met Demand Inc.

Fact: Manufacturing is applying technology and the processes are becoming more complicated. Customers are requiring higher quality and proof of sustainability by adopting global standards and requiring conformance to those standards. This has put a spot light on all Maintenance Activities: Operator PM, Maintenance PM, Cleaning and Inspection Standards, Operating and Set-up Standards, Precision Maintenance, Documentation (CMMS), Problem Solving Process. Maintenance Best Practices are a core foundation to deliver Reliable Capacity® that is achieved by having Reliable Processes, Equipment and People. Maintenance is an integral part of implementing and achieving "Zero Defects". Proper Maintenance will decrease variation in a process and product resulting in higher quality and lower cost production.

The Maintenance Strategy Master Class

An hour long presentation by Terry Wireman

Leading companies recognize the importance of maximizing their return on investment in hard assets used to provide their products and services. A key component of any asset's life cycle is the operation and maintenance phase. Proper management of this life cycle phase can lead to top and bottom line improvements. This presentation will show how the Level 1 Maintenance Strategy Master Class can help any company develop a strategy that will enable them to achieve these operational and maintenance improvements.

No Silver Bullet for Reliability Series: Part 2 of 4

An hour long presentation by Leslie McHattie, Senior Reliability Practitioner, Ivara Corporation

Why do some reliability implementations succeed and others fail? Leslie McHattie has seen it all --some programs are highly successful, most are "satisfactory" and some fail. Trying something new without a plan to manage and sustain the improvement is what we call a silver bullet approach and tends to be very short lived, eventually becoming the flavor of the month.

If the same tools result in variable outcomes, it is evident that the reason this happens does not reside in the tool itself, but rather in how it is managed and applied.

The Seven Causes of RCF (Root Cause FAILURE)

An hour long presentation by Shon Isenhour, CMRP, Director of Education, GPAllied

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) can be a very powerful tool for eliminating defects and increasing efficiency and profits. After witnessing hundreds of RCA efforts in every different type of organization and industry vertical, Shon has experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly. Of those, all of the failed efforts have common traits that are preventing the practitioners from getting maximum value from their RCA efforts. During this presentation, Shon will share with you his first-hand case studies of RCA implementations and tips on how to avoid the seven causes of ‘root cause failure'.
