Combined analysis for early predictive maintenance
In an article in Machinery Lubrication Using ‘Unscheduled’ Oil Analysis for Early Predictive Maintenance author Jim Fitch expounds from the premise that we may advance potential failure detection by conducting other tests in addition to the primary PdM method. Figure 1. Early Predictive Maintenance P-F Interval Scheme (Source LivingReliability Inc. June 2103) Many RCM consultants…

Is “random failure” really random?
The word “Random” might confuse us when we refer to Nowlan and Heap’s failure pattern B that describes “age independent failure”. When using the word random applied to an event, we tend to infer that the event is unpredictable. Randomness suggests a non-coherence, such that there is no intelligible pattern or combination that may be discerned. But maintenance…
