Trouble Getting Your EAM System off the Ground?

Is your Master Equipment List accurate? Do you use consistent naming conventions from one plant to another? How about your inventory catalog? Does it include the parts required to maintain your equipment, and only those parts? Think a moment about the cost of a failure. How do the costs associated with the PM/PdM technology compare to that? How would you take the optimal strategy for a given asset and apply it to your other, similar assets?

Are you ready to continuously improve your reliability program based on the results it delivers?

Maintenance Tip

Maintenance Tip

If you are going to use a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to implement your preventive maintenance program, you need to create a "Dictionary" of classes and subclasses of equipment. Identify each class and subclass with a description to make it easy for staff to categorize the equipment.

If you are implementing a preventive maintenance program at more than one facility, the Class/Subclass Dictionary becomes even more important. It provides standardization - making it easier for maintenance staff to move between facilities. Additionally, it allows data to be shared. For example, if one facility has created a maintenance strategy with job plans for the class "Circuit Breakers" and subclass "Molded Case", that strategy can be shared with any of the other facilities that have molded case style circuit breakers.
