Starting with Mathematical Foundations with Fred Schenkelberg

Every system in the world, no matter how complex, is designed on an algorithm. All the systems use the same basic principles of mathematics. When there is a failure in a system, there’s a logical explanation for its occurrence. Every  engineering principles that vendors follow to build the machines and every calculative functionality they add to it so that it will work the way it is is based on mathematics. That’s why it is very important to have strong mathematical foundation in a reliability-oriented organization.

120 – What is the Difference between RGA and Weibull with Fred Schenkelberg

What is the Difference between RGA and Weibull with Fred Schenkelberg

Predictive maintenance is the backbone of reliability and maintenance industry. This is why every organization tends to use tools that can help them foresee the possible failures ahead of time and take preemptive measures. No matter how much you spend on building a sustainable program, there are always deficiencies left somewhere. You have to know at every stage what these deficiencies are to successfully get where you want to go exactly. This is where Reliability Growth Analysis (RGA) (or Crow-AMSAA, as oftentimes referred to) helps you with its wide applications. When you have a specific problem, focusing on a single failure mode, and have all the data related to it, it is good to use Weibull Analysis.

119 – What Customers Need is an Asset Management Program, Not Software with John Reeve

119 – What Customers Need is an Asset Management Program, Not Software with John Reeve

What Customers Need is an Asset Management Program, Not Software with John Reeve

When organizations feel the need to run their sites in a better and informed way, they tend to purchase different software that will help them get the answers they need. What they don’t realize is that software is only as good as the people using it. When you don’t have data input to the system, the output is most likely to be inaccurate. You can purchase a CMMS or any other reliability software but if you don’t know what it is that you want from the software, it is no good to anyone.

Product failures occur due to the material or component variability. The steel in a bracket is more brittle then optimal, or the capacitance is on the low side of an acceptable range. Designing a product with variation in mind enables the creation of a reliable product. [Read more…]
