RCM boundaries and Living RCM
In performing your RCM analysis on this butterfly valve, you decided to treat the hydraulic system as a separate analysis. You drew the boundary in such a way that the cylinder-actuator belongs to the hydraulic system and not to the valve. That is perfectly legitimate. You can draw the boundaries in any way that you…

Take the EAM data health check
If biological health depends on the quality of food we ingest a maintenance department will thrive on a diet of “good” data that it will convert to optimal decisions. Data analysis covers a vital role in maintenance management. Yet most managers doubt the analytic capability of historical data stored in their EAM work order systems.…

RCM – Reliability analysis in more than two dimensions is CBM
EXAKT basic tutorial This tutorial can be run using the EXAKT program. Please download a fully functional trial version. Tutorial 1 will familiarize you with the basics of Weibull PHM analysis, how to create an optimal CBM model, and how to deploy it through an agent. The instructions in black are minimal so as to keep them…

The reliability data Catch 22
Ever wonder why poor historical work order data in the CMMS has been tolerated all these decades? One reason is that the fix is a human one. And human behavior is difficult to change. We tend to avoid difficult human problems, ultimately seeking a technological solution to everything. But there’s also a kind of paradox…

LRCM-EXAKT – a general solution
One might imagine that we can obtain practical improvement in maintenance performance quickly and inexpensively by concentrating on CBM technology for example, Oil Analysis. The supposition is reasonable but overlooks an obstacle that impedes verifiable and optimal CBM decision making in most maintenance organizations. In order to apply CBM we must have identified a condition…
