Benchmark - Schedule Compliance
>90%
Benchmark - Percent of Planned Work
>85%
Benchmark - Production/Operations Breakdown Losses
1% - 2%
Benchmark - Parts Stock Out Rate
1% - 2%
Leadership Attributes Survey
Vision - 33%
Energizing People - 31%
Communication - 21%
,Competence - 8%
Charisma - 7%
Mission Statement Benefits (3)
1. Help companies focus their strategy by defining boundaries within which to operate
2. Define dimensions along which an organization performance is measured and judged
3. Suggest standards for individual ethical behavior
2 Key Elements of Successful Effort to Change Culture
1. Influencing behavior to change
2. Overcoming resistance to change
Actions to Influence Change (6)
1. Increase understanding
2. Set goals and expectations
3. Establish a process for praise and recognition
4. Define and clarify roles
5. Establish and standardize process and procedures
6. Create discipline, develop tenacity, and be persistent
Key Performance Indicators Attributes (3)
1. Encourage the right behavior
2. Difficult to manipulate
3. Easy to measure
Condition Based Maintenance
Vibration analysis
Infrared thermography
Acoustic/ultrasonic
Oil analysis
Electrical
Shock pulse method
Partial discharge and corona discharge
Operational performance - pressure, temp, flow rates, etc.
3 Cautions with Preventive Maintenance
,1. Intrusive inspections
2. Tasks must be reviewed frequently to determine accuracy
3. Equip,met is hazarded and frequently degraded by tasks
Condition Based Maintenance Activities (3)
1. Condition Measurement
2. Condition monitoring and health assessment
3. Repair and maintenance actions
Reliability Centered Maintenance
A systematic, disciplined process to ensure safety, mission compliance, and system function
Defines system boundaries and identifies system functions, functional failures, and likely failure
modes for equipment and structures in a specific operating context
4 Essential Elements of RCM
1. Define system and required functions
2. Define functional failures and specific component failure modes that can defeat required
functions
3. Prioritize the importance of the failure modes
4. Select the applicable and effective PM countermeasure for the high priority failure modes
Key Players in the Work Process
Coordinator - asset/resource
Planner
Scheduler
Configuration specialist
Craft supervisor
Work performer
Benchmark - % of Planned Work
> 90%
Benchmark - % of Schedule Compliance
> 85%
Benchmark - % of Time the Right Part is Delivered
> 99%

, 3 Key Parts of Asset Reliability
Asset function
Conditions under which Asset operates
Mission time
Reliabiltiy
Probability that an item will perform its intended function for a specific interval under stated
conditions
Availability
Function of reliability and maintainability
Measured by degree to which an item or asset is an operable and committable state at the start
of the mission when the mission is called at an unspecified time
=MTBF/(MTBF+MTTR)
Percentage of actual time that an asset is operated compared to how long it was scheduled to
operate
Cost Breakdown of Asset Life Cycle
Design and development - 5-10%
Installation - 10 -20%
Operations and maintenance - 65 - 85%
Disposal - <5%
Key Elements of Reliability Specs
Probability of successful performance
Function to be performed
Usage time
Operating conditions
Environment
Skill or operators/maintainers
Equipment Design Phase Analysis
Reliability analysis
Maintain ability analysis
System safety and hazard analysis
Human factors engineering analysis
Logistics analysis
