In today’s episode, the guest is John Reeve and the agenda of discussion is failure data and CMMS. As everyone knows that to maintain and solve issues with the equipment you need to get all the basic data or information available. Computerized maintenance management system helps greatly in this task but first of all, you have to know exactly what kind of data are you looking for and what it means. Now failure data can be anything related to your asset that is the foundation data or then transactional data comes which includes the processing data related to the asset such as the actual cost. Now, next thing to understand is the failure mode which consists of the failed component, component problem and cause code. Once you have this failure data, it becomes very easy to run the basic failure analysis which is necessary at certain levels.

We have data. Often, an abundance of data concerning equipment failures. Failures per month or MTBF-type measures do not reveal sufficient insights to understand the pattern of failures.

In today’s episode, our guest is Scott Kelley and the discussion is about the ABC’s of the asset management. Most of the organizations fail in the implementation of this process or they don’t get good results. That’s why they need to follow the ABC’s of Asset Management. These are:
A – Always have the “RIGHT” executive sponsor
B – Before you begin have a vision or model of the finished product or outcome
C – CONSTANT & CONSISTENT implementation.
These principles are key to the success of any Asset Management Program.

This episode is based on the discussion on Root Cause Analysis also known as RCA. It is a technique which is used to solve complex problems when finding the origin of any failure gets difficult. RCA includes a series of steps that lead right to the place from where the problem originated.
