Failure data and the CMMS with John Reeve

JOURNALSIn today’s episode, the guest is John Reeve and the agenda of discussion is failure data and CMMS.

Now failure data can be anything related to your asset that is the foundation data or then transactional data comes which includes the processing data related to the asset such as the actual cost. Now, next thing to understand is the failure mode which consists of the failed component, component problem and cause code. Once you have this failure data, it becomes very easy to run the basic failure analysis which is necessary at certain levels.
