Linking Failure Codes To A Proactive Maintenance Strategy
Using Failure Data to Drive Sustainable Improvements
If you are lucky enough to have good failure data history in your CMMS, you are one of the few. But even if you have the data, can you use it to make a difference to your organization? Obviously, the data can be used to perform certain reliability engineering analyses, but what can those without reliability engineering experience do with the data?
Bad Actor / Pareto Analysis
Two simple analysis that anyone can use with their failure history are;
- A Bad Actor analysis is identifying equipment that is […]
The first step to any reliability improvement program is to define what data or information will be required to drive defect elimination. In the previous posts, the following topics were discussed;
Why is that some organization seem to break the reactive cycle and others don’t? After all most organizations have a PM program and some form of a planning and scheduling program right? The key difference between those that do is their ability to use their failure data and systematically eliminate defects and issues from the processes and equipment. This doesn’t mean adding a new PM everytime some fails, which just won’t work.
