Download or read book Failure Mapping written by Daniel T. Daley and published by JPS. This book was released on 2009 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to be easy to read and perfect for busy people who have little time, this unique book provides an introduction to the new concept of Failure Mapping by comparing typical functions in an organization which benefits from Failure Mapping to one without. Through examples it shows how individuals in different roles can have their effectiveness enhanced by having access to historical Failure Maps describing past failures. While few of the individual concepts are new, the approach described ties established concepts together in a new and comprehensive manner. This resource describes the process used to create Failure Maps that connect Malfunction Reports (Function - Behavior) with Failure Modes (Component - Condition) to help users clearly understand the most likely final disposition based only on the initial report and the statistics produced by historical experience. It is sure to be found useful by novice Reliability Engineers, Maintenance and Reliability Managers, Engineering Managers, Plant and Corporate Senior Staff and Executives looking for ways to enhance performance, and Consultants who may want to enrich their portfolio by adding this tool. Describes issues that are particularly important to creating Failure Maps that record failure histories in a manner that the records will be useful in the future. Explains how Failure Maps can be used to improve reliability by identifying Failure Mechanisms while at work. Details how Failure Maps can be used to improve reliability by identifying Defects before failures can occur. Describes how Failure Maps can be used to increase the effectiveness of the diagnostic and troubleshooting process as a part of any help desk activity. Explains how to use Failure Mapping as a tool to improve the effectiveness of "triage" as a part of failure response in high volume activities. Includes several forms found useful in recording Failure Maps and creating reports. Provides readers with tools needed to enhance and set up their own Failure Mapping program. Offers both new and more experienced plant and shop personnel with a tool they can use to develop a consistent understanding of Failure Mapping, the roles in a Failure Mapping organization and the steps in implementing a Failure Mapping process.

Included are real life examples of flawed preventive maintenance programs and how they led to disasters that could have easily been avoided. Also illustrated in detail, with real-life examples, is the step-by-step process for developing, implementing, and maintaining a premier classical RCM program. Senior management, middle management, supervisors, and craftsmen/technicians responsible for plant safety and reliability will find this book to be invaluable as a means for establishing a first class preventive maintenance program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fields of maintenance & reliability, there are a number of certifications that "M&R" professionals may take to help further their careers, whether it be in the form of a promotion, a change of job, more money, or simply a title to add to their credentials. The exams for these tests assess the candidates' skills and knowledge in areas such as work management, equipment reliability, leadership and organization, knowledge of the different certifications' bodies of knowledge, manufacturing process reliability, and business management, as well as their ability to adhere to industry standards (both ANSI and ISO). Until now, there hasn't been a single volume for maintenance and reliability certification candidates to use as a study guide for these exams. The Maintenance and Reliability Certification Exam Guide fills the great need for such a resource by including: specifics about the different tests. how to study for each. information on where to focus review efforts. hundreds of sample exam questions. vital facts about re-certification. practical tips for maintenance and reliability professionals to take back with them to use on the job. Chapters include a list of performance objectives, review questions, as well as lists of supportive reading. Related graphs, tables, charts, and illustrations round out this indispensable work for all maintenance and reliability professionals seeking certification.

Download or read book Reliability Centered Maintenance Reengineered written by Jesus R. Sifonte and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reliability Centered Maintenance – Reengineered: Practical Optimization of the RCM Process with RCM-R® provides an optimized approach to a well-established and highly successful method used for determining failure management policies for physical assets. It makes the original method that was developed to enhance flight safety far more useful in a broad range of industries where asset criticality ranges from high to low. RCM-R® is focused on the science of failures and what must be done to enable long-term sustainably reliable operations. If used correctly, RCM-R® is the first step in delivering fewer breakdowns, more productive capacity, lower costs, safer operations and improved environmental performance. Maintenance has a huge impact on most businesses whether its presence is felt or not. RCM-R® ensures that the right work is done to guarantee there are as few nasty surprises as possible that can harm the business in any way. RCM-R® was developed to leverage on RCM’s original success at delivering that effectiveness while addressing the concerns of the industrial market. RCM-R® addresses the RCM method and shortfalls in its application -- It modifies the method to consider asset and even failure mode criticality so that rigor is applied only where it is truly needed. It removes (within reason) the sources of concern about RCM being overly rigorous and too labor intensive without compromising on its ability to deliver a tailored failure management program for physical assets sensitive to their operational context and application. RCM-R® also provides its practitioners with standard based guidance for determining meaningful failure modes and causes facilitating their analysis for optimum outcome. Includes extensive review of the well proven RCM method and what is needed to make it successful in the industrial environment Links important elements of the RCM method with relevant International Standards for risk management and failure management Enhances RCM with increased emphasis on statistical analysis, bringing it squarely into the realm of Evidence Based Asset Management Includes extensive, experience based advice on implementing and sustaining RCM based failure management programs

Download or read book Gas Migration written by Leonid F. Khilyuk Ph.D. and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-07-14 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This breakthrough new book may help save countless lives and avoid enormous losses. It presents a methodology for using gas migration to predict earthquakes and explosive gas buildup. Using rigorous scientific investigation and documented worldwide case histories, this remarkable book presents compelling evidence showing that changes in gas rates, composition, and migration accompany the tectronic events preceding earthquakes and their associated seismic events, such as volcanoes and tsunamis. Because these gas parameters are detectable and measurable, they provide an early warning of seismic activity.Gas Migration is the first book to accumulate, analyze and apply the interdisciplinary knowledge on gas migration and detail its connection to tectronic, seismic, and geologic phenomena. It combines geological, geochemical, geophysical, seismological, and petroleum engineering insights to demonstrate how gas migration and its associated phenomena can be used in earthquake and environmental geohazard identification and prediction. Topics include-·Tectonics and Earthquakes·Gas Migration at Plate Boundaries·Surface Soil-Gas Surveys·Faults and Petroleum Reservoirs·Earthquake Precursors·Whispering Gases·Paths and Mechanics of Gas Migration·Subsidence, Gas Migration, and Seismic Activity·And much moreWith this information, environmental specialists, civil engineers, petroleum geologists, seismologists, and urban planners now have a new and powerful conceptual basis and tool for understanding and perhaps even predicting gas explosions and earthquakes.
