Generally, improving reliability at your facility is a process that requires time. That said, there are a few tactics you can use to get almost immediate results for your facility, including:
Improve lubrication
Roughly 70% of all equipment failures result from lubricant contamination, making proper lubrication management a worthwhile investment. That can take a few forms:
Optimize preventive maintenance
Often, preventive maintenance tasks are wasted. In fact, while most PMs are handled on a recurring schedule, 82% of assets appear to have random failure patterns.
PMs should be designed to handle those failure modes that tend to occur on a regular or predictable basis. Part of PM optimization may involve FRACAS or failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) to find the best way to streamline preventive maintenance tasks.
Tighten STO management
Shutdowns, turnarounds, and outages (or STO) can result in massive amounts of wasted time and resources, so keeping them to a minimum is a priority. There are a few ways to improve STO management, including:
RCA
Root cause analysis, particularly when performed in-depth after equipment failures, can go a long way toward targeting your maintenance practices toward the most essential tasks. When done properly, RCA helps you pinpoint issues that impede reliability, such as:
Pulling it all together
While they may each require a bit of planning, each of the above methods can improve reliability within months of implementation.
