The RELIABILITY Conference - 38:21 
by John Reeve, Total Resource Management

More specifically, without failure modes all you have is a bunch of codes. This may be the most overlooked data element, as most CMMS products do NOT capture the failure mode. This critical data element allows one to (1) derive the ideal maintenance task, (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, failure analysis and failure prevention are all part of an integrated process, which helps the reliability team continuously, improve – using the CMMS. Attend this presentation for practical solutions to a common challenge.
