Reliability Focused Maintenance System - A Case Study.

Abstract

A case study of how a large organization is utilizing the combined strengths of commercial off-the-shelf software packages to implement a corporate-wide reliability focused maintenance initiative is presented. The integrated package meets the needs of information systems staff and is most valuable in implementing the work process and cultural changes needed to meet the company's goal of incident free operations. A new work maintenance system allows users to more easily record extensive maintenance and repair data. A powerful centralized equipment database pulls together information from many different systems and makes it available to everyone participating in the program. A new reliability software system makes use of real-time data gathered through the work management system and uses them to perform analysis, trending, and reporting. Alone, each system is a powerful tool. Used together, the analysis tools of the reliability system work hand in hand with the tracking features of the work management system, allowing each to function at its maximum potential and provide true bottom line savings.
