The New Era of Predictive Maintenance: Affordable and Accessible

Modern Predictive Maintenance (PdM) has come a long way in recent years, with ease of use and installation both having increased significantly, while cost has similarly decreased. Conventional PdM was an expensive and time consuming technology and, because of this, it was reserved for only the most critical facilities. The problem with this is that less costly equipment, though seemingly peripheral, can be just as essential to continuing operations, and it is instead relegated to a preventive maintenance (PM) schedule.

Elements for Transformation

The RELIABILITY Conference - Uptime Elements Forum - 39:58
by Jeff Shiver- Managing Principal, People and Processes, Inc.

As we automate more and more, the standard of maintenance is dependent on our effective execution of the necessary work to ensure that your assets continue to do what the user expects. Recognize that effective work execution is not a cafeteria plan. Each element is interconnected and foundational to ensure reliability. Weak elements and missing links can not only jeopardize the journey to reliability but more importantly, kill or injure people. Join Jeff Shiver, CMRP, CRL as he demonstrates the six key elements necessary for work execution. In addition to identifying the elements and their links, Jeff will explain the consequences and benefits of ensuring this holistic work execution foundation for the journey for reliability.

Without Accurate Failure Data All You Have Is a Work Order Ticket System

More specifically, without failure modes all you have is a bunch of codes. This may be the most overlooked data element as most computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) products do NOT capture the failure mode. This critical data element allows one to: (1) derive the ideal maintenance tactic, (2) quickly compare work order (WO) failure modes with RCM analysis failure modes, and (3) support drill-down on asset worst offenders for basic failure analysis. Failure data and failure analysis provide a holistic process in search of continuous improvement – using the CMMS. And, within the entire CMMS product, this may be the one feature’s greatest potential, return on investment.
