Figure 2. Four procedural techniques can be logically mapped to known failure modes. Once causation has been identified, these techniques direct which failure-eliminating or mitigating corrective activities make the most sense, such as scheduled discard and/or planned restoration.

How to Leverage AI to Help Define Spare Parts Criticality Methodology

Reliability and Operations teams have always struggled with a repeatable process for defining criticality for maintenance spare parts. It is often too easy to make everything critical and often entails a binary method of “yes/no” or “true/false.” Most criticality review processes are static (one and done) and are not revisited nor adjusted with changing business…

Figure 1. The “tree of unreliability” involves five layers of roots, according to Shon Isenhour.

Root Cause Analysis

What is the most effective method? Does your company perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA) or just failure analysis? What distinguishes these tools and when are they appropriate? Does your company have a written policy or procedure? Are these performed routinely after an incident or notable failure? Listen to one company’s process, challenges and successes in…
