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…

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…

Deepwater Horizon
The Deepwater Horizon accident resulted in 11 deaths and 700,000 T of crude oil dumped into the Gulf of Mexico causing the largest environmental disaster in United States history. We discuss briefly some of the most significant Technical, Organizational, Regulatory factors that caused or contributed to the gravity of the accident. Water, crude oil, natural…

Why Living RCM works
First let’s settle on what “RCM” is, really. Many say it is a process. That’s true. But at its core it’s a data model – a template in which to classify the answers to seven clear “questions”. Those answers contain all the essential information about an asset’s failure behavior. The answers to the seven RCM…
