The ReliabilityXperience

Self-Accountability Part 1

Self-Accountability Part 1

In the last blog, we discussed why Self-Awareness is the starting point for any real change. If you aren’t able to honestly know where you are, you’ll never get on the proper path towards where you want to go. The next step in making forward progress is understanding how you got to where you are.

This is where self-accountability comes into the conversation.

Simply put, self-accountability is the understanding that you are the combined result of all of the decisions you make, and actions that you take.

Self Awareness

Self Awareness

The first step in any forward progress needs to be identifying the reality of where you are right now. If you’re trying to get to the North Pole, it doesn’t matter what map you’re given, if you don’t know where you’re starting.

This is a difficult conversation to have with yourself, but it is the foundation of a solid framework for success and is absolutely critical for any sustainable forward motion.

There are two types of self-awareness that need to be expanded on: Internal Self-Awareness and External Self-Awareness.

7 Steps of Clean, Inspect, & Lubricate

7 Steps of Clean, Inspect, & Lubricate

Through daily inspections, cleaning, and lubrication practices we can measure, prevent, and restore deterioration to our equipment. The expectation is that a team is put together made up of maintenance, operations, and leadership employees to roll out strategy beginning with one piece of equipment. They will implement the following 7 steps:

  • Initial Cleaning
  • Eliminate sources of dirt and hard to clean & inspect areas
  • Create and maintain cleaning, inspection and lubrication standards
  • General Inspection
  • Operator Inspection
  • Activities standardized
  • Team Development and Operator Driven Reliability

Clean to Inspect for Best in Class Operator Care

Clean to Inspect for Best in Class Operator Care

Cleaning is an important first step in Operator Care and reliability gains because:

  • Insufficient cleaning causes losses and
  • The cleaning activity itself exposes hidden defects

Dirt in rotating parts, sliding parts, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, electrical and control systems, sensors, etc. causes malfunctions, reduce function, failure by wear, clogging, resistance, speed losses, etc. are different types of defects. Defects are anything that is abnormal from the expected ideal condition. Insufficient cleaning causes forced deterioration. All these losses are solved through a thorough cleaning of equipment and countermeasures to keep the equipment clean.

Asset Management Systems for Small Groups

Asset Management Systems for Small Groups

An asset management system is comprised of all of the necessary processes, procedures, tools, systems, and methods necessary to meet business objectives in a manner which is controlled, measured, and improved upon.  The system, more often than not, takes on some visual representation as in the graphic below.  The purpose is to provide a simplified understanding of the overall process to meet asset management goals.
