Plants worldwide turn to reliability tools such as RCM and RCA to reduce maintenance costs and prevent disruptions. They help identify where losses are, develop procedures to mitigate the losses and, ideally, improve equipment reliability and performance. Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) asks what could happen and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) examines what did happen. Though many…
For many reliability professionals, Jack R. Nicholas is the guru of reliability instruction, guaranteed to teach you something new with every session. In January 2020, he presented at a Best Practice Webinar for Fluke Reliability, sharing his advice on transitioning maintenance teams to Industry 4.0. You can listen to the webinar presentation on demand. Here…
For maintenance pros focused on reliability, the P-F Curve is a useful tool. Proactive steps that you take at the front of the curve, such as precision alignment, asset condition management, vibration analysis, and more, can effectively extend the curve and the life of your assets, experience has proven. In this webinar, Fluke Reliability experts…
2020 is widely expected to be a year of progress for maintenance teams against their connected reliability goals, as they increase adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems. Why this year? In his December 2019 webinar with Fluke Reliability, technologist Oliver Sturrock explores some of the underlying conditions around technology adoption in maintenance operations…
It shapes up to be an interesting decade, with massive changes expected to unfold in how maintenance and reliability professionals.
Key takeaways from October 2019 webinar by Dr. Klaus Blache As reliability professionals, we’re predisposed to prioritize the most critical assets. But what if someone told you that asset prioritization wasn’t the key to improving reliability maintenance? Dr. Klaus Blache, director of the Reliability and Maintainability Center (RMC) at the University of Tennessee (Knoxville), has…
