Rapid Proactive Maintenance Program – PM Program – Part 3

Rapid Proactive Maintenance Program – PM Program – Part 3

In the first installment of this series, we described the basics behind proactive maintenance and some of the considerations users need to make.

The second installment described RCM programs – the “gold standard” if you like for program development. This third installment describes what you can do if you realize you need a program but have nothing. It would also work if you’ve got a PM program but you are unhappy with the results you are getting. Chances are that something is missing or not being done often enough.

We’ve often encountered maintenance programs that are lacking. They need a stronger proactive component and they need it quickly to get things under control.

This guideline is intended to help to get things under control. [Read more…]

If You Want a Proactive Maintenance Program That Really Works, Then Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Is The Way

If You Want a Proactive Maintenance Program That Really Works, Then Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Is The Way

This article is Part Two in my three part series about “PM” programs.

Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is the world’s leading method for identifying maintenance and other activities required to sustain reliable performance of physical assets. If you want a proactive maintenance program that really works, then Reliability Centered Maintenance is the most thorough approach you can take to get there. [Read more…]

Preventive Maintenance “PM” Programs – Part 1 – The Basics

Preventive Maintenance “PM” Programs – Part 1 – The Basics

Do you replace your car headlights at regular intervals of six months? Do you wait to replace your tires until they wear through? Do you check your car engine oil with some sort of oil analysis before replacing it? Each component and system in your car has a function that is prone to failure. Each of those has consequences – some with little importance and others with great importance. [Read more…]
