LRCM reliability analyst survey results
Mesh LRCM has two principal objectives. First, to ensure analyzable work order data, and second, to update the RCM knowledge base whenever it deviates from reality as observed by the technician. On a scale of one to 10, six maintenance engineers and reliability analysts, a half year after Mesh’s implementation, rated LRCM against their prior,…

EXAKT cost sensitivity analysis
Progress seldom proceeds smoothly. It occurs in steps. A new strategy of some kind usually precedes each step. If the strategy is right the individual or organization moves forward and benefits. The wrong strategy, however, will generate decisions that delay or even reverse progress. Often the long term results of a strategy are not obvious.…

But what if the technician does not know which failure mode in a removable complex component actually occurred? Introduction That would be the case when the event that causes the failure is due to…

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…
