Up Time Magazine - December 2008/January 2009 - (Page R11) Paper 26 The Concorde Disaster Explained; An Interface Of Nuclear Work Model & Root Cause Analysis by Loyd Hamilton, Think Reliability How do we influence a Problem Solving Culture? Consider the Navy Work Model for Nuclear Operations. The Concorde Crash incident will be discussed on a more complex level and prevention steps will be explored. Paper 27 Enhancing Electrical Safety Through RCM by Martin Robinson, IRISS and Doug Plucknette, Allied Reliability In addressing the Main Function of each asset we apply the RCM process to we consider the ability to maintain Health, Safety, and Environmental standards. In applying the RCM process to main electrical feeds we discuss several Failure Modes where IR would be an outstanding PdM tool for detecting point P, however, with new electrical safe practice standards the task of performing IR inspections falls into an area where it would not be considered safe to perform the inspection under these standards. The installation of IR windows now makes the use of IR on electrical feeds both safe and effective. In this presentation we will introduce several failure modes from an actual RCM analysis where if safe PdM tools could be used to locate point P and the effects of the failure could be mitigated by planning and scheduling repair. Paper 31 A Facilitated-Group Approach To RCM by Marge Romero, Team Leader, Reliability Centered Maintenance, Naval Air Warfare Center, and Nancy Regan Operation and Support costs consume 50 to 60 percent of the US Navy’s total operating account. In an effort to reduce total ownership costs, Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) was implemented on Naval Aviation Common Support Equipment (SE) in 1997 and, eleven years later, continues to produce outstanding results that support the warfighter. This presentation covers the facilitated-group approach to RCM that has been employed. Paper 32 Reliability Beyond Maintenance: Reliability Started With Physical Assets, And Now Spreads Into All Business Endeavors by Henry Ellmann, Aladon Licensee, Latin America Awareness of the need for Reliability, started some decades ago in the Maintenance environment. Lately it is being realized that expanding the Reliability concept into other –or all– business areas, major benefits can be achieved. Half a century ago, when Quality issues were introduced, (Juran, Deming) at first “quality” was thought of as the “quality of a product”. Soon the “quality” concept grew into “total quality”, when it was realized that to achieve product or service quality, everything in the organization has to respond to the “quality concept”. Now a similar situation arises with the “Reliability” concept. As soon as Management starts to realize the philosophy behind the concept it becomes wise to expand Reliability into other areas. Paper 36 RCM-From Analysis To Action: How To Successfully Implement RCM by James Nesbitt, Reliability Practitioner, Ivara Corporation Organizations invest a significant amount of time, effort and resources in conducting RCM analyses. Yet, a reliabilityweb.com study found that over 85% of RCM analyses never get implemented. This is a staggering percentage and begs several questions - namely why and what steps need to be taken to effectively implement RCM analysis results. See the latest tools and techniques leveraged by companies including ArcelorMittal, Peabody, Domtar, Cadbury Adams and Southern California Edison to enable their RCM execution strategy. Learn the critical success factors that made the proactive activities required by RCM part of their daily life in Maintenance and Operations. Paper 37 The RCM Project Management Guide by Jack Nicholas Jr., PE, CMRP, Co-Author, Advancing Reliability and Maintenance This presentation includes vital tips on timing, avoiding pitfalls, leading to a potential failure and metrics information for use by anyone contemplating becoming a champion of a Reliability Centered Maintenance initiative within their organization. Paper 03 Measuring Plant Performance - The Need For Metrics Standardization by Walter Nijsen, Asst. Maintenance and Reliability Leader, Cargill Grain and Oilseeds Europe Understanding how our plants perform and how well we perform in relation to others often reveals opportunities for improvement, That is to say: in principle. The key question first raised is often are comparing apples with apples? If not (as in many cases), the whole exercise of comparison and to some extend measurement becomes somewhat (or completely!) meaningless. On top of that a first question that really should be answered first is WHY should we measure? Secondly WHAT should be measured and HOW? The ones we believe are truly important are often referred to as Key Performance Indicators (KPI’), as – apparently – those contain key information on performance as the wording implies. But does it and if so, what precisely is it indicating? This presentation discusses how Cargill, a multinational company, dealt with these challenges.
