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 management. 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…

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…

Fluke 831 Laser Shaft Alignment

Today’s maintenance departments can’t afford crippling unplanned downtime and wasted energy. You could be losing thousands of dollars per year in replacement bearings and hours of unnecessary repair time.  Up to 50% of damage to rotating machinery is directly related to misalignment–most customers ignore it and simply replace the bearings and seals. See the benefits…
