These are the slides from Mike’s conference presentation at the SIRFRt CM & Lube Forum 2008 Conference.

Welcome to Day 2 of the Maintenance Planning and Scheduling for World Class Reliability and Maintenance Performance 3-Day Training Course. I hope that you enjoyed Day 1 and found the maintenance and reliability concepts it contained useful.

WHEN YOU BUILD AN ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ISO 55001 CERTIFICATION THE ISO 55001 EAM SYSTEM MANUAL NEEDS TO COMPLY WITH THE ANNEX SL DOCUMENT STRUCTURE.

Here’s a practical way to create an ISO 55001 EAM system manual that covers all bases for both ISO 55001 certification and Annex SL requirements. Annex SL stipulates ten sections that every management system built to an ISO management system standard must contain. But matching legacy enterprise asset management 9EAM) system documents to Annex SL sections can be tricky.

1. Application.

Any engineer with known expertise or responsibilities in the area of ‘vibration’ will be asked sooner or later to advise on a vibration isolation problem. While the principles of vibration isolation are relatively simple to understand the practical application requires some design skills and a good understanding of the vibration source or sources.

Design your safety system with the workplace safety culture and safety practices you want

Use the ACE 3T culture change technique to design, teach and adopt the best safety culture into your organization

Here’s a workplace safety culture change fact we’ve known about for a long time. This quote from G. J. Hofstede in his book, Cultures and Organisations, explains a lot about how you create the right workplace safety culture.

It’s popular to use Crow-AMSAA for system reliability modelling. However, for the model to represent reality it must include only historically identical events

If your Crow-AMSAA reliability growth model mixes nonidentical situations, then its forecasts have no meaning

Below is an email discussion about when Crow-AMSAA modelling can provide believable forecasts.
 

Divide maintenance crews so a few skilled artisans do reactive jobs, and the remainder do planned and scheduled work orders

A robust Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Process uses a Scheduled Work Crew capacity planned days ahead with planned jobs. And it has a small Quick Response Crew of people capable to handle any random job.

A great Maintenance Planning and Scheduling Process design separates reactive work from jobs that can be planned and scheduled. This article explains how to re-engineer a maintenance planning and scheduling process to handle reactive and planned jobs.
