At the end of the year or month what reports would you like to see from your CMMS/EAM? Would you like a few failure reports? Check out this presentation. It may make your day.
Precision Maintenance is talked about in many companies and implemented at many companies, many with great success, however most companies do not understand Precision Maintenance. In this presentation I clear up some misconceptions and untruths concerning it.
FRACAS: A method of analyzing the failure codes assigned to the individual work orders and identifying common themes and trends. The root cause of the high impact items are determined, with a corrective action identified and executed to prevent reoccurrence of the issue.
Sometimes when your maintenance is reactive someone throws you a life line. This may be it. Check out these slides, you got to love the 5 simple ideas presented.
Why do people not understand the P-F Curve? At a recent maintenance function, I asked 70 maintenance and reliability professionals how many of them had heard of the P-F Curve and only about 10% stated they had. From that 10%, only 1% felt like they truly understood it. This was shocking to me. I assumed everyone had heard about the P-F Curve and its intent.
The intent of the P-F Curve is to illustrate how equipment fails and how early detection of a failure provides time to plan and schedule the replacement or restoration of a failing part without interruption to production or operations.
Once you understand the P-F or PF Curve you will have a better awareness of how equipment fails.
Precision Maintenance is talked about in many companies and implemented at many companies, many with great success, however most companies do not understand Precision Maintenance. In this paper I will clear up some misconceptions and untruths concerning it.
Want a practical approach to reducing Failures in your organization? Thing simple however think Big when it comes to an approach. This is not a recipe, it is an idea for you to expand on. Make it your own however their are ideas which are solid. Make a difference today in reducing failures.
Repeatable, effective maintenance procedures are seen as “not required” however this couldn’t from the truth. Over my career I have seen thousands of examples of human variation creating equipment failure at the wrong time. We as humans are built to produce variation in almost everything we do. Most people deny this human variation exist however when I ask a manager if they ever could not find their car keys they look at me sheepishly and say “yes, great point”.
Many companies honestly believe there maintenance staff are paid to “know how to do it” without a procedure with specifications, step by step instructions, etc. What if a maintenance employee does “know how to do it” every-time? One must take into consideration their skill level, current state mind, and current working condition, in order to mitigate human error. In addition, what would happen if new information presents itself based on failure data? The only way to insure this new information is used effectively would be to write or change a procedure.
Well-designed maintenance procedures will mitigate human induced failures and allow for continuous improvement to occur naturally.

This document discusses the Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) process for identifying equipment failures and eliminating or mitigating their effects. FRACAS involves analyzing failure reports from maintenance management systems to identify common failure patterns, defects, and causes across assets. This allows organizations to focus reliability improvements on eliminating recurring failures. The document provides examples of how to validate an equipment hierarchy, conduct a criticality analysis, and develop failure codes to track specific failure modes in order to continuously improve maintenance strategies through the FRACAS process.
This course is focused on repeatable and effective work procedure development. If your organization does not possess or needs to update effective, repeatable maintenance procedures then this training is for you or someone in your staff.
Stop human induced failures, lack of repeat-ability in maintenance work, and insuring when someone retires you have their knowledge in the form of procedures is critical to the success of any organizations. Lack of effective, repeatable procedures creates high variation in maintenance work execution.
Maintenance and Reliability leaders always talk about their best maintenance person and how much experience they have. With effective, repeatable procedures you would capture that experience, knowledge and skill in a procedure.
When one has repeatable, effective procedures and a failure occurs the worst thing that could happen is a procedure is changed or updated.
The document summarizes the key aspects of achieving world class maintenance status based on a presentation by Ricky Smith. It discusses that world class maintenance is a journey with no defined timeline. Attributes of world class maintenance organizations include using computerized maintenance management systems and aligning maintenance and production goals. Examples are provided of companies that have achieved world class status like Exxon Baytown and Alcoa Mt Holly, and the benefits they realized are outlined. Tips are given that emphasize effective leadership, education, treating maintenance as an investment, and taking the first step on the journey.
Where is your current PM Program? Where are the gaps? This maturity matrix focused on Preventive Maintenance is the most updated one anywhere. Some of the brightest minds in Maintenance and Reliability, world-wide, contributed to the development of this latest version.
ABOUT THE TRAINING PROGRAM :-
Failure Mode and Effects Analysis or FMEA is a structured technique to analyze a process to determine shortcomings and opportunities for improvement. By assessing the severity of a potential failure, the likelihood that the failure will occur, and the chance of detecting the failure, dozens or even hundreds of potential issues can be prioritized for improvement.
DESIGNED FOR :-
Sr. Engineer, Engineer, Supervisor and Foreman engaged in maintenance, operation, Store, Supply chain, Quality, Safety and Engineering activities.
OBJECTIVE :-
Employees completing this training will be able to effectively participate on an FMEA team and can make immediate contributions to quality and productivity improvement efforts.
Reliability centered maintenance (RCM) is a maintenance strategy that uses failure modes and effects analysis to determine the most cost-effective maintenance tasks. It aims to perform only necessary maintenance to preserve system functions and avoid unnecessary maintenance costs. RCM shifts maintenance from reactive to condition-based, using tools like vibration analysis and oil testing to predict failures. Initial costs for RCM are higher but maintenance costs decrease over time as failures are prevented.

Is Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) right for you?Nancy Regan
This presentation outlines the goals of a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) analysis. It debunks the top misconceptions about RCM. And it poses and answers the top four questions about RCM most people don’t know to ask.
A sample of slides used in our FMEA Training for Healthcare. This 3-day class is ideal for quality facilitators with hospitals and health systems. The key deliverable is a preliminary FMEA on a high-risk process of the client's choosing, complete with an improvement plan.
This document summarizes a webinar on Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and risk management. The webinar will cover the history and scope of FMEA, different types of FMEA, hazard analysis and risk assessment, FMEA methodology including calculating a Risk Priority Number, and include a live demonstration. It will be presented by Adela Béres, a functional safety expert with over 10 years of experience, and be available on Intland Software's website. Intland focuses on automotive development and helping customers comply with ISO 26262 functional safety standards.
We all want to support the accomplishment of safe and trouble-free products and processes. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis has the potential to be a powerful reliability tool to reduce product design and manufacturing risk in a cost effective manner. With shorter product development times, tighter budgets and intense global competition, Design for Reliability tools such as FMEA must be applied correctly. Yet in practice, FMEA does not always achieve the expected results. Why is it that some companies have outstanding success in their FMEA application and others do not? What is the difference between well done and poorly done FMEAs? What are the essential elements of an effective FMEA process? These questions and more are answered in these three new short courses on FMEA.
Does it annoy you that in spite of regularly performing Preventive Maintenance (PM) on your equipment it continues to breakdown? Some may call this insanity – Continuing to do the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. So what do you do? Maybe take a close look at your current PM Program.
There are known best practices which will not only enhance your PM program but also increase equipment reliability. Remember most work comes from PM and PdM and then it must be planned correctly, scheduled with production, executed to schedule and to specifications. If this occurs you will be seeing the results.

Failure Mode Effect Analysis and Total Productive Maintenance: A ReviewAM Publications
The goal of quality and reliability systems is the same-to achieve customer satisfaction. Quality and reliability are
synonymous. A system cannot be reliable if it does not have high quality. Likewise, a system cannot be of high quality if it is not
reliable. The quality performance of a firm is often assessed by the reliability of the firm's equipment or machinery. If a system is
unreliable, it is unpredictable and if it is unpredictable, it is not of high quality. FMEA is a one of the most important quality
management Techniques. Total Productive Maintenance is useful technique to increase the productivity of plant and equipment
with a modest investment in maintenance. The paper reviews various approaches of Failure Mode Effect Analysis and Total
Productive Maintenance has been developed so far and discussion about use of FMEA-TPM in integrated approach.

The Antidote to Implementation Failure in the World of Asset ManagementNancy Regan
This presentation details how implementation of asset management strategies can be vastly improved by establishing a bedrock of fundamental knowledge across a team before any reliability improvement process is ever initiated. And it provides the steps on how to do it.
The document discusses preventive maintenance strategies for equipment using condition-based monitoring checks. It outlines the costs and timelines associated with reactive maintenance when failures are detected versus proactive maintenance when degradation is identified and repairs are scheduled preemptively. Detecting potential failures early allows repairs to be scheduled before production is impacted and unexpected breakdowns occur, reducing costs and downtime compared to reactive maintenance once signs of failure appear.
This document outlines the top 10 reasons why maintenance planning is often ineffective. It discusses issues such as a lack of understanding around what effective maintenance planning looks like, not tracking key metrics like staff wrench time, a lack of defined processes for planning and scheduling, insufficient training of maintenance planners, and not establishing the right key performance indicators to measure maintenance planning effectiveness. The document emphasizes that achieving optimal reliability and costs requires adopting defined, proactive maintenance planning processes followed by committed leadership and all departments.

Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a step-by-step approach for identifying all possible failures in a design, a manufacturing or assembly process, or a product or service. The purpose of the FMEA is to take actions to eliminate or reduce failures, starting with the highest-priority ones. FMEA also documents current knowledge and actions about the risks of failures, for use in continuous improvement.
In this training presentation, you can teach your employees on the proper steps to construct an FMEA for a design or process, and then implement action plans to eliminate or reduce the risks of potential failures.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understand what an FMEA is, why it is used, and when can it be deployed
2. Understand the definitions, scoring system and calculations used in an FMEA
3. Learn the steps to developing an FMEA and the pitfalls to avoid

Overall, it provides a comprehensive overview of the requirements to be a successful proactive maintenance technician.
Having experience as a Maintenance Manager and Maintenance Consultant I wrote this article. The one Maintenance Manager that inspired me the most was Rick Mullen, former Engineering and Maintenance Manager at Anheuser Busch, who by far the #1 Maintenance Manager I ever met.
What does a "Day in the Life of a Proactive Maintenance Planner" look like. This article was writen based on my experience at Alcoa Mt Holly (Certified as World Class Maintenance).
A proactive maintenance supervisor's day involves:
1. Updating the equipment status and production schedule and ensuring technicians are prepared and assigned to the correct work.
2. Visiting job sites to check on work and ensure no problems will delay the maintenance schedule.
3. Validating work order documentation and codes are accurate before closing out work orders from the previous day.
How to know if your maintenance planning and scheduling is not effectiveRicky Smith CMRP, CMRT
Many times companies have Maintenance Planning and Scheduling however it is not effective as they like it to be. This article helps anyone who is struggling the Planning and Scheduling with a few ideas.

A proactive maintenance technician is a highly trained professional who is an expert in his or her skills area, has knowledge of other skills areas, including safety and production, and has a desire to learn more. This professional knows and can
implement a failure-modes driven maintenance strategy for any piece of equipment.
A proactive maintenance technician uses knowledge and experience to ensure the maintenance process is optimized by making constructive recommendations to
management concerning improvement areas.
To ensure success, a proactive maintenance technician is proactive in everything he or she does. This person constantly reviews information to ensure procedures are accurate and issues are resolved quickly and does what is required to ensure the work is repeatable. Such a professional leads by example and takes responsibility for training new employees on how to be a proactive and effective maintenance technician.
The document discusses best maintenance repair practices and identifies issues that commonly prevent organizations from following them. It finds that 70% of equipment failures are self-induced due to maintenance personnel not knowing or following basic maintenance practices. Surveys showed over 90% of maintenance personnel lacked complete mechanical maintenance fundamentals. The document outlines best practices such as taking a proactive rather than reactive approach, ensuring maintenance personnel have requisite skills, and providing discipline and direction to follow practices. It recommends organizations identify whether issues exist, determine the causes, provide training to change maintenance culture, and develop a proactive maintenance strategy to implement changes and measure financial gains from following best practices.
The objective of the Parts Checkout process to ensure the right part is in stock when required by Maintenance / Operations to provide Production with Reliable Assets.
> Parts / Material Checkout Guiding Principles:
•All parts/material used for an asset will be charge to the asset via a Work Order
•No blanket work orders – blanket work orders lead to lack of failure information due to failure threads of like parts/material
•Overnight ordering of parts is an exception and not the general rule
•The Materials Management Process will be managed with Leading and Lagging KPIs

Best Maintenance Lubrication Practices are essential to
optimal life for ball and rolling element bearings.
There are four factors that are important when
lubricating bearings:
1. What type of lubrication?
2. How much lubrication?
3. How frequently should lubrication be applied?
4. How should the lubrication be applied to ensure
contamination control?
... and so much more covered on this document
Maintenance Planning and Scheduling is critical to success of any Maintenance Organization resulting in a significant increase in Wrench-time (Hands on Tool Time). Planning and Scheduling are two distinct functions which are dependent on each other.
Top 7 Reasons why Maintenance Work Orders are Closed Out AccuratelyRicky Smith CMRP, CMRT
Closing out work orders accurately is critical for leadership to make the “right decisions at the right time with accurate data” and it can only occur if work orders are “Closed with the Right Information/Data”.
If metrics and Key Performance Indicators are so important where are people pulling the data from without their work orders having the right data on them when they are closed into that dark hole called the CMMS or EAM.
Without good data you are lost and probably are making decisions based on passion and not facts.
Very few organizations pay attention to hydraulic leaks and how they can impact production capacity, asset reliability, and reactivity when a mitigation strategy is in place.
This Tool Box Talk may help you take that next step.
Most companies spend a lot of money training their maintenance personnel to troubleshoot a hydraulic system.
If we focused on preventing system failure then we could spend less time and money on troubleshooting a hydraulic system. We normally except hydraulic system failure rather than deciding not to except hydraulic failure as the norm. Let’s spend the time and money to eliminate hydraulic failure rather than preparing for failure.
Preventive Maintenance - Actions performed on a time- or machine-run-based schedule that detect, preclude, or mitigate degradation of a component or system with the aim of sustaining or extending its useful life through controlling degradation to an acceptable level. (Definition Source: SMRP Best Practices)
Maintenance Skills Training for industry is a hot subject right now. In many areas of the country, companies are competing for skilled maintenance personnel.
“A Deloitte study found that the skills gap may leave an estimated 2.4 million positions unfilled between 2018 and 2028, with a potential economic impact of $2.5 trillion”
The skill level of the maintenance personnel in most companies is well below what industry would say is acceptable. In the past, I have been involved with the assessment of the skill level for hundreds of maintenance personnel in the U.S. and Canada and found 80% of the people assessed scored less than 50% of where they need to be in the basic technical skills to perform their jobs. The literacy level of maintenance personnel is also a problem. In some areas of the United States we find that up to 40% of maintenance personnel in a plant are reading below the eighth grade level. After performing the Gunning FOG index, we find the reading level for mechanical maintenance personnel should be the twelfth year level and electrical maintenance personnel the fourteenth year level (associate degree).
Much has been written about lean manufacturing and the lean enterprise—enough that nearly all readers are familiar with the concepts as well as the phrases themselves. But what about lean maintenance?
Is it merely a subset of lean manufacturing? Is it a natural fall-in-behind spinoff result of adopting lean manufacturing practices?
Much to the chagrin of many manufacturing companies, whose attempts at implementing lean practices have failed ignominiously, lean maintenance is neither a subset nor a spinoff of lean manufacturing. It is instead a prerequisite for success as a lean manufacturer. This article will explain why.
The document discusses best maintenance repair practices and identifies that 70% of equipment failures are self-induced due to a lack of following these practices. Surveys found that 30-50% of failures are from a lack of basic maintenance knowledge by personnel, and another 20-30% are from personnel who have skills but do not follow practices. Most maintenance personnel lack complete basic mechanical maintenance fundamentals. The article then outlines some best practices, such as taking a proactive rather than reactive approach and ensuring personnel have the proper skills. Not following these practices can significantly impact a company's bottom line through things like reduced production capacity. The reasons companies often do not follow best practices include a reactive culture, unskilled personnel, a lack of discipline
This document provides information on preventive maintenance and steps to improve a preventive maintenance program. It begins with a definition of preventive maintenance as actions taken on a scheduled basis to detect and mitigate system degradation. It then announces a workshop on preventive maintenance fundamentals. The fundamentals discussed are focusing preventive maintenance procedures on specific failure modes and including instructions, specifications, and space for recording condition findings and recommendations. It recommends including failure history when assigning work orders and investigating root causes for critical failures between maintenance cycles. Finally, it outlines six steps to take if preventive maintenance is not meeting expectations, starting with acknowledging the problem and creating an optimization team.
