Measuring and Improving CBM Effectiveness
Maintenance departments regularly implement policies and technology aimed at improving maintenance effectiveness. However engineers who implement and justify such projects in the maintenance department often encounter difficulty when trying to quantify, credibly, a project’s impact on maintenance or on asset performance. The problem lies in the many factors governing Performance Metrics at different time periods. How…

Difference between LRCM and EXAKT
What is the difference in LRCM & EXAKT EXAKT is a software application for performing Reliability Analysis (RA). RA is a general set of software enabled procedures used by Reliability/Maintenance Engineers to develop and deploy rules (called models). These models optimize, monitor, and systematize day-to-day decision making in maintenance. RA, in order to generate realistic…

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…
