Maintenance, in all its essence, is an absolutely indispensable activity for all organizations today. Downtimes or any damage due to malfunctioning of an equipment are most expensive and thus an immense squeeze in the profits. Almost each and every organization across industries have woken up to this fact and employ some or the other maintenance system
Furthermore to just having a system in place to take care of the maintenance activities, organizations today are moving towards most intelligent and sophisticated methods of maintenance viz. Predictive Maintenance and Reliability Centered Maintenance.
Furthermore to just having a system in place to take care of the maintenance activities, organizations today are moving towards most intelligent and sophisticated methods of maintenance viz. Predictive Maintenance and Reliability Centered Maintenance.
The goal of Predictive Maintenance is to perform maintenance exactly when the equipment needs it - neither earlier nor later than necessary. This essentially means tracking key indicators over time to predict when the equipment needs repair. Predictive maintenance programs measure equipment on a regular basis, track these measurements over time, and take preventive action whenever the measurements are about to go outside the operating limits. Repairing equipment as-needed requires fewer man-hours and parts than corrective maintenance.
In a similar fashion, Reliability Centered Maintenance focuses on prioritizing maintenance efforts based on equipment's importance to operations, its downtime cost in revenue and customer loss, its cost of repair, and its impact on safety. It offers extensive analytical data to ensure that the critical equipments are identified and maintained on a priority. Reliability maintenance depends on the same measurements used in predictive maintenance, but saves additional maintenance cost by spending less effort on lesser important equipments
The EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) module in the Oracle E-Business Suite family offers these refined maintenance techniques of Predictive Maintenance as well as Reliability Centered Maintenance
But as they say, just implementing something does not ensure a job been done. It is equally important for people working with these methods to understand them thoroughly and learn how to identify potential problem areas. If an intelligent solution is implemented and work practices change accordingly, phenomenal results become apparent pretty soon.

are there any rail organizations that use Oracle maintenance solution (eAM) for linear assets maintenance? thanx!
ReplyDeleteHi there! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about RCM Services. I am glad to stop by your site and know more about RCM services. Keep it up! This is a good read. You have such an interesting and informative page. I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well.
ReplyDeleteAn understanding that the vast majority of failures are not necessarily linked to the age of the asset (this is often modeled by the "memoryless" exponential probability distribution).
The RCM Blitz™ Solutions process was put together to allow companies to complete a traditional RCM analysis on a major critical asset by defining the envelope, completing the upfront tasks, and then setting up your meeting to complete the analysis in less than 5 days.
