Our summer vacation program is a paid opportunity for engineering students in their penultimate year of study to gain some practical experience, build networks and expand their CVs.
As a general rule, we need to be very careful in using punishment as our first and primary response to any safety or reliability incident.
Almost every Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) contains a field where you can set the work order priority, but few define how it is to be used.
There is often confusion among those new to maintenance management and reliability improvement regarding the difference between availability and reliability.
Let's explore the planning process and five of the common improvement opportunities we commonly observe, from supply relations to stakeholders.
Understanding common pitfalls can make your job as a scheduler more productive, and help your organisation to reduce costs and be more effective.
Let's explore some of the “big picture” systemic challenges associated with the overall maintenance planning and scheduling process.
Experience tells us that, in practice, there are several barriers that inhibit the success of implementation of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) practices.
A growing number of root cause analysis processes are being supported by software. We need to be careful not to oversell the benefits of software in effective RCA.
There is a school of thought, particularly among more highly qualified engineering personnel, that problem solving and root cause analysis is best performed by “experts” in their fields.
We assessed compliance with the Asset Management Accountability Framework, a framework aligned to ISO 55001 that is catered towards Victorians.
Let's discuss some of the practical issues surrounding root cause analysis implementation within organisations, and how to obtain success from these processes.
In February 2016, the Department of Treasury and Finance introduced the AMAF, which is aligned to ISO 55001 and catered towards the Victorian public sector.
Let's consider how to obtain value in maintenance and reliability improvement projects, and approaches that we can take to estimate value from the improvement.
The AMAF details mandatory asset management requirements and guidance for government organisations, and how to support service delivery objectives.
In this article, we continue our exploration by considering how developments such as big data and predictive analytics are contributing to reliability improvement.
The NAMAF provides a methodology for assessing the maturity of a local government asset management and financial planning processes.
Let's discuss some of the key tools and techniques that can be used to contribute to sound equipment reliability, and where these may be applicable.
Being at the tail end of the operational chain, supply can often bear the brunt of poor decisions made by asset designers, or during operations and maintenance.
Over a 12 week period, Chika will receive valuable exposure to real, meaningful work and some great learning experiences.
Participants scored the course highly, based on the instructor's presentation skill, their ability to engage with them, and knowledge of the subject matter.
We had a thoroughly rewarding day volunteering in the Foodbank warehouse. Foodbank is a conduit between the food industry and the welfare sector, distributing food to the needy.
Let's explore some ways in which maintainers and maintenance management can impact on equipment reliability, and some suggestions to improve reliability via better maintenance.
Let's explore the key ways in which operations management can impact on equipment reliability, and offer some practical suggestions to improve reliability.
Your asset register is the foundation on which your asset management information systems are built. Here are 5 tips to make sure yours is rock solid.
Let's explore the communal accountabilities that should be considered in the design phase of an asset life cycle, and the roles that different parts of an organisation play to...
We are fascinated by disasters, yet everyday in our workplaces, mini-disasters occur with monotonous regularity. Why should we accept that failure is the norm?
In this short video we give 4 practical tips that can help you to improve the productivity of your maintenance function.
This video introduces the PF Interval: one of the core principles that underpins reliability centred maintenance and preventive maintenance program development.
Most organisations have some sort of investigation process, ranging from a basic incident report form through to a mature root cause analysis (RCA) process.
Let's compare reliability centered maintenance (RCM) and preventive maintenance optimisation (PMO), and determine which approach is best for you.
The Perth Assetivity Team enjoyed a fun day out at the WA Archery Centre last Friday in Whiteman Park.
