R&M STRATEGIES

■ Reliability engineering. The
reliability engineering function is
responsible for driving out sources
of repetitive failure. Its mission is
to provide leadership and technical
expertise required to achieve and
sustain optimum reliability, maintainability, useful life, and life-cycle
cost for an organization's assets.
■ Computerized maintenancemanagement system (CMMS).
Proactive-maintenance organizations use data to effectively handle
work activities, report performance,
track costs, and enable continuous
improvement efforts. The CMMS
automates these processes, captures
data, and provides information
required to enable resource productivity and asset reliability.

Universal application
Regardless of where an asset resides,
reliability depends on core reliability
and maintenance fundamentals that

span all industries and organizational
types. Whatever the assets may be, i.e.,
motors, pumps, compressors, robots,
conveyors, boilers, elevators, escalators,
pelletizers, utilities, mobile equipment,
fire-suppression systems, rotary-tablet
presses, chillers, rolling mills, roadways,
buildings, you name it, all require
specific amounts of downtime for
proactive preventive- and predictivemaintenance activities, including, but
not limited to, replacement of wear

parts, rebuilds, upgrades, and other
improvements. Levels of maintenance
may vary by organization type, but
the fundamental requirement for it is
universal. MT
