RCM – feedback suggestion mechanism
The RCM review meeting is only one of many input mechanisms to a comprehensive, defensible, and dynamic maintenance plan. Between meetings or after the initial RCM project is over how can we continue to capture and document experience and insight from our SMEs in the field? Here is a procedure that SMEs (technicians, analysts, and…

MESH Basic reliability analysis on the work order
Counting the instances of unreliability (i.e. of failure) describes the most basic form of reliability analysis. The RCM tree provides the most elementary portrait of the failure structure of an item. It would seem natural to combine both these sources of knowledge into a single view. That’s exactly what MESH does, every time a maintenance…

MESH – RCM knowledge continuous improvement
What befalls the RCM analysis once it is completed and the ensuing PM program uploaded into the EAM? Too often it gathers dust, and fades eventually into distant memory. Only a pale reflection of the intensive mental energy expended in creating the knowledge rich RCM analysis remains in the form of EAM failure codes. What…

RCM – LRCM dashboards
Dashboards provide views of knowledge and data about the physical assets whose performance is to be maintained. The dashboards tell you how well you are doing with regard performance goals. Dashboards reveal the issues requiring your attention. Maintenance strategy dashboard Once an initial RCM analysis has been completed the Maintenance Strategy dashboard (tab) will provide a…

Training course in achieving reliability from data
Expensive critical equipment generates overwhelming volumes of data. Maintenance personnel try repeatedly, with little success, to interpret that data so as to predict when and where failure will next occur. Yet the maintenance engineer lacks systematic techniques with which to reduce vast amounts of data to clear confident maintenance decisions. Although maintenance technology vendors have…
