How to Leverage AI to Help Define Spare Parts Criticality Methodology
Reliability and Operations teams have always struggled with a repeatable process for defining criticality for maintenance spare parts. It is often too easy to make everything critical and often entails a binary method of "yes/no" or "true/false." Most criticality review processes are static (one and done) and are not revisited nor adjusted with changing business climates. Untrusted, outdated criti

How to use Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to get the reliability you need
For every action taken to maintain a piece of equipment, a Failure Mode—or cause of failure—is managed. That is why a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is an essential part of physical asset management. When done properly, an FMEA helps organizations: 1) Define equipment goals, 2) Identify what could cause Reliability to suffer, and 3) Assign criticality. Join Nancy as she shares how to av
Unshrouding the mystery of rarely-used parts: How to avoid shutdown and cost overruns due to parts availability
Storerooms everywhere are lacking certain critical parts while other parts are overstocked – and getting the mix right in today’s environment of supply shortages is even more challenging than it used to be. The risk, of course, is that a rarely-used yet critical part may not be available to get equipment back online, or that getting it in quickly will incur significant costs. So how do you decide
