LRCM and HSE
Safety, Health, and Environmental (SHE) disasters occur when numerous seemingly unrelated conditions and events coincide in ways that have received little or no serious attention by maintenance and operational staff. Still, executives and government regulators expect that a logical set of rules and procedures overseen by responsible management can avert the worst from happening. Yet…

EXAKT for complex items
Abstract-Using failure and condition data for a Mill pinion bearing, EXAKT software was evaluated on how it performs prognostic modeling for complex items with multiple condition monitoring variables. It was found out that Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) based failure data is a pre-requisite for EXAKT, and that it requires the failure and condition data in…

Maintenance Decision Support Pilot at Orica
Abstract – Does condition monitoring deliver the results you expect. Can we sharpen the saw and make a more informed reliability decision? The project investigated the use of a Maintenance Decision Support tool and how it may be used to improve reliability decisions based upon failure prediction. Data collection and manipulation proved to be the…

Data or reliability analysis is the main role of the Reliability Engineer (RE) in maintenance. In support of his quest for good data, the RE should organize and teach technicians, planners and supervisors how to complete maintenance work orders so that the data is “good”. This is not as difficult as it sounds. The key…

LRCM at Cerrejon
Without an adequate data sample there can be no reliability analysis (RA). Without analysis there can be no systematic, verifiable improvement in reliability nor in operational economy. A sample is a collection of life cycles. A beginning and ending event define a failure mode life cycle. Well known obstacles impede the reliability engineer in his…
