Component Lifetime Health Strategy Based on Physics-of-Failure Science 

Component Lifetime Health Strategy Based on Physics-of-Failure Science 

Plant and Equipment Wellness (PEW) is a Physics of Failure based methodology for equipment failure prevention and defect elimination that results in the fewest activities, least resources and lowest expenditure to produce outstanding operational equipment reliability. PEW identifies the necessary business-wide processes and departmental actions an organisation needs to apply to get high plant and equipment availability. With high uptime comes more productivity, higher operating profits, and less capital expenditure. 

As much as possible PEW uses simple techniques that can be done by shopfloor people. Most companies do not have large staffs of university trained maintenance and reliability professionals. They have knowledgeable and experienced maintenance practitioners that know their plant and equipment. PEW does not require specialist RAMS software that none but mathematicians can understand, that very few companies can afford to buy or contract, and requires assumptions about the future that are hopeful at best. 

PEW needs only the basics of engineering and financial knowledge to use and be able to deliver a brilliant business strategy for lasting operating equipment reliability. Where operations have access to reliability analysis and maintenance optimisation tools and software they are used to understand what options will be most effective. But you do not need such tools and software to use the PEW methodology and still be sure that you have developed a sound and powerful maintenance and reliability improvement strategy.
