Classical RCM of a Vertical Motor for Motor Management
An iPresentation Tutorial by Howard W Penrose, Ph.D., T-Solutions, Inc.
The Classical RCM process, based upon the US Navy’s Mil-P standard, is a powerful tool for assisting in the development of your motor management program. It provides the necessary evidence to select condition based monitoring technologies, and other reliability practices, as well as providing data to assist in future Root Cause Failure Analysis studies.
In this 38 minute iPresentation Tutorial, we will briefly describe the strengths of this tool and will walk through the process and records as they relate to a simple vertical, hollow-shaft, pump motor. The RCM analysis can be as simple or intense as necessary to fulfill the needs of the system in order to provide the right maintenance on the right equipment at the right time.

Volunteer As a Maintenance and Reliability Professional
By Terrence O’Hanlon, CMRP
I have been reading a great deal about volunteerism as the U.S. version of National Volunteer Week has just passed.
The 2005 theme, “Inspire by Example,” truly reflects the power volunteers have to inspire the people they help, as well as to inspire others to serve. The Points of Light Web site has many good resources about volunteering.
As I spent time on the site it struck me that volunteerism is alive and well in the maintenance and reliability community. More…

Reliability Incident Management – Linking Incident Management with your Reliability Assurance Prog
by Mr Steve Turner BEng MBA. Director and Principal Consultant – OMCS International
Most organisations try to eliminate defects and investigate reliability incidents. Observations across many industries and companies lead the author to the conclusion, that this process, while very important, is one of the most fragmented and poorly executed of all.
Over the past few years, the author has researched the potential benefits, the methods used and difficulties experienced by a variety of industries and companies. Research indicates that a strong approach to incident management carries twice the benefit of implementing a CMMS and performing a maintenance strategy review.
However, in practice, it is found that incident management works far better after a maintenance strategy review has been performed and the preventive maintenance program is well executed.
Research also shows that the better incident management systems are supported by focused plant downtime recording systems significantly advanced from what is normally deployed.
The combination of these four elements is named Reliability Assurance by the author.
This paper also discusses how any organisation can embark on a Reliability Assurance program and move quickly to a position where it can better capitalise on their defect elimination and reliability incident management programs. More…
