DIY vs outsourcing for Condition Monitoring; avoid conflicts with your reliability & expenditure goals....

Is Maintenance only enough for a profitable, reliable & safe plant? Maintenance alone isn't enough for a profitable, reliable, and safe plant. It's just one phase of the plant life cycle. While maintenance keeps assets functioning within design limits, it can't add capacity, reliability, or inherent safety. A holistic approach that considers all plant life cycle phases is crucial for optimal asset performance. Join us on a journey of knowledge and growth. Stay tuned for more insights and discussions. #SMRP #CMRP #AssetManagement

Did you know that what we call Reliability is already built in? We can help reduce the risk of failure and mitigate the effects with our proven criticality process. Get in touch for a no obligation chat about your assets 👍

If you are interested in a "Maintenance/Reliability Assessment" on site (US Only) contact me at rsmith@worldclassmaintenance.org. The biggest challenge organizations face is to know the status of their current maintenance and reliability process and developing a plan to close the gap between current and desired performance. The output of this process is a to create plan to optimize asset reliability at optimal cost. #maintenanceassessment #maintenancebestpractices #reliability #rickysmithcmrp

Reliability is inherent... it is built in at the design phase. At inception major decisions are made that can impact your asset reliability. We have to accept that the design of assets and equipment is often constrained. Budget, footprint, accessibility, operating context, maintainability, ergonomics, power requirement, health and safety.... the list is extensive. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) has a lot on their plate. Conceptualising, specifying and then building assets to fit your operating context perfectly. It is little wonder that some components may not suit the end user's application. We can fail quickly if we assume the OEM fully understands the end users needs. Then when the button is pressed no one thought about the maintenance and overall care package, early failures crop up and everyone turns to the Maintenance Department to 'make it work' when it's the inherent design or specs that are the root cause... sticking plasters are duly applied! This can be avoided with the involvement of operators, maintainers and even consultants like myself, avoiding those poor specification choices and if not at least mitigating and reducing the possibility of failure.

The best offense is a good defense, right? If that's the case, then the best offense you can have to ensure smooth and safe operations, is making sure that your plant or factory has a #predictive and #preventative #maintenance plan. Ensuring customer's smooth operations and protecting assets is crucial for us at McNaughton-McKay Electric Company. Our thermography inspections are designed to prevent breakdowns, downtime, and potential losses. We meticulously scan electrical cabinets, breaker panels, and more, catching issues before they escalate.  After our inspection, you receive a comprehensive report detailing any threats and recommended actions, helping you stay proactive in safeguarding your business!

The PF Curve is essential for monitoring #machinecondition over time, enabling the effective application of #predictive techniques. It represents the timeline between the point of potential failure (P) and the point of functional failure (F). By understanding this timeline, maintenance teams can identify when faults or defects can first be detected and when the equipment will ultimately fail. This strategy allows for fault detection at early stages, preventing their progression to catastrophic failures or breakdowns. Understanding the PF curve gives maintenance teams the power to increase machine #reliability and extend asset life cycles, resulting in efficient and strategic #maintenancemanagement. As shown in the diagram, various maintenance strategies such as Reliability Centered Maintenance (#RCM), Predictive Maintenance (#PdM), and Preventive Maintenance (#PM) can be applied at different points along the curve to address potential issues before they lead to significant damage or failure. #PredictiveMaintenance #PFCurve #AssetManagement #IndustrialMaintenance
