191-Effective Maintenance Procedures with Ricky Smith

191-Effective Maintenance Procedures with Ricky Smith

Effective Maintenance Procedures with Ricky Smith

Over the years, maintenance procedures have become a bore for many plant operators. They are likely to be clunky documentation that is choppy with instruction and referring to another document – the manual. Effective maintenance procedures should consider that our attention span today is shorter than ever. They need to be short, clear and to the point. 

Ricky of World Class Maintenance shares tips on how we can implement effective maintenance procedures. Key highlights of the show are: 

  • Why maintenance procedures are necessary
  • The prerequisites for effective maintenance procedures
  • Who writes these maintenance procedures?
  • How can you get started with implementing maintenance procedures?
  • The importance of staff in the implementation

How to Start a Vibe Program with Jesus Sefonte

Even though the vibration analysis has been around for a long time, there are very few organizations that use it. Machinery vibration is the study of the behavior of rotating machinery for detecting faults based on the monitoring of different machinery components using vibration signals. All the rotating machines vibrate—either in a good or bad way—and vibration analysis is the best way to predict machinery behavior by making it part of your predictive maintenance program. It helps you access machinery health, predict failures, and do corrective actions when needed. So, if you have critical rotating machinery in your facility, vibration analysis is a must.

The episode highlights are:

  • What are the fundamentals of Vibration Analysis
  • What is an Asset Criticality Analysis
  • Why is a plan required to successfully implement vibration analysis
