Welcome to Day 2 of the Maintenance Planning and Scheduling for World Class Reliability and Maintenance Performance 3-Day Training Course. I hope that you enjoyed Day 1 and found the maintenance and reliability concepts it contained useful.
Use an Isocorrosion Diagrams To Recognise High Corrosion Situations And Design Process Equipment Accordingly. A true story of how a high nickel alloy (Alloy 28) reactor was holed in 8 weeks by sulphuric (sulfuric) acid running down the inside wall. When the situation was reviewed in detail using an iso-corrosion diagram for the alloy in sulphuric acid it was obvious that such a problem would occur. The iso-corrosion curves clearly showed the huge corrosion rates that would happen at local contact points within the reactor. A clear and detailed understanding of how to use iso-corrosion curves would have highlighted the problem at the design stage.
WHEN YOU BUILD AN ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ISO 55001 CERTIFICATION THE ISO 55001 EAM SYSTEM MANUAL NEEDS TO COMPLY WITH THE ANNEX SL DOCUMENT STRUCTURE.
Here’s a practical way to create an ISO 55001 EAM system manual that covers all bases for both ISO 55001 certification and Annex SL requirements. Annex SL stipulates ten sections that every management system built to an ISO management system standard must contain. But matching legacy enterprise asset management 9EAM) system documents to Annex SL sections can be tricky.
Any engineer with known expertise or responsibilities in the area of ‘vibration’ will be asked sooner or later to advise on a vibration isolation problem. While the principles of vibration isolation are relatively simple to understand the practical application requires some design skills and a good understanding of the vibration source or sources.
Full of new, powerful solutions, the Plant Wellness Way EAM methodology ensures operations and companies get to world class equipment reliability
Let a Plant Wellness Way EAM System-of-Reliability halve your Annual Maintenance Costs
People investigating the Plant Wellness Way enterprise asset management (PWW EAM) methodology want to know exactly what happens when they use it, especially how the analysis and implementation will be done in their own operation. A PWW EAM System-of-Reliability brings you three massive business advantages:
Use the ACE 3T culture change technique to design, teach and adopt the best safety culture into your organization
Here’s a workplace safety culture change fact we’ve known about for a long time. This quote from G. J. Hofstede in his book, Cultures and Organisations, explains a lot about how you create the right workplace safety culture.
Mother Nature And Father Time have together built well. What they have left behind lasts a long time without failure. Humans can run for 100 years with very little maintenance. Trees can run for thousands of years without maintenance. There are lessons for us to take and apply. The life on our world shows us how to achieve truly outstanding reliability and availability. Do you want a thing to last 20 years trouble-free all its life, maybe 50 years without a problem? By looking at what the Mother Nature And Father Time left behind you will find the answers.
Reliability is something that can be created. It is the result of the standards, processes, and practices that are used. By removing causes of failures and controlling the factors that allow their creation, you proactively eliminate failure events. By eliminating failures, you deliberately create reliability. The reliability creating processes in the Plant Wellness Way EAM methodology let any operation or site reach the heights of world class operating asset reliability.
Below is an email discussion about when Crow-AMSAA modelling can provide believable forecasts.
In the Plant Wellness Way EAM system-of-reliability methodology you set world class performance targets for every work task. You do that so the people doing the job know what world class work looks like. Then you ask them to find new, successful ways to deliver world class outcomes in the tasks they do. That way you guarantee world class success.
Error Proof Quick Mating Part Location And Alignment. For speedy and easy maintenance it is best to design equipment with a means to insure accurate and exact location of contacting parts. This removes the opportunity for alignment errors during rebuilds and speeds-up maintenance overhauls. In this article is a sketch of two common methods used to provide positive and certain location and alignment between mating parts.
A robust Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Process uses a Scheduled Work Crew capacity planned days ahead with planned jobs. And it has a small Quick Response Crew of people capable to handle any random job.
A great Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Process design separates reactive work from jobs that can be planned and scheduled. This article explains how to re-engineer a maintenance planning and scheduling process to handle reactive and planned jobs.
We are facing difficulty in developing a definition of Critical Spare Part Inventory. No one is able to define it in its true essence. The situation is further confused with the difference to strategic spare parts. Any guideline or standard where we can find it ?
In the past, every Plant Manager had their own definition of Critical Inventory which changed with time. In optimization of Inventory, the first step is to establish a definition of Inventory considering all factors like production loss, redundancy, safety hazard, failure frequency, and of course, the lead time? Still I am stuck in this phase. I cannot progress, and don’t know what to do 1st, 2nd, and so forth to proceed further in this journey?
In some industries, 40% of maintenance repairs result from original equipment manufacturing failures. And up to 35% of maintenance is traceable to design engineering mistakes. That totals 75% of maintenance costs during operation can be from prior life cycle process blunders
To get utmost operating plant and equipment reliability, you need to purposefully design and build your business processes to guarantee maximum reliability from each and every phase of the asset life cycle
The 20th Century saw maintenance strategy evolve from corrective, predictive and preventive maintenance to reliability maximization. During the 21st century maintenance will disappear and be replaced with risk-free equipment operation where no failures occur. The first steps taken by LRS Consultants toward building risk-free businesses and riskless operational processes was the invention of the Plant Wellness Way “system-of-reliability” methodology.
