Asset Criticality Analysis
Asset Criticality Analysis is the structured process of evaluating and ranking assets based on the consequences of failure and the likelihood of failure in order to prioritize maintenance, reliability, capital investment, spare parts, and risk management activities.
Explore resourceCondition Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance
Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is the systematic process of evaluating the health of physical assets using condition-based technologies, inspections, and data analysis to detect developing failures before functional failure occurs.
Explore resourceDefect Elimination
Defect Elimination is the systematic process of identifying, removing, or controlling the physical, procedural, operational, and organizational conditions that repeatedly create equipment failures, quality losses, safety incidents, and unnecessary maintenance work.
Explore resourceFailure Analysis & Failure Mechanisms
Failure Analysis is the systematic process of investigating how and why equipment failed by identifying the physical failure mechanism, contributing factors, and underlying causes.
Explore resourceFailure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a structured method for identifying how an asset, system, process, or component can fail, evaluating the consequences of those failures, and prioritizing actions that reduce risk before failures occur.
Explore resourceReliability Engineering
Reliability Engineering is the discipline of designing, operating, maintaining, and continuously improving physical assets so they perform their required functions safely, consistently, and cost-effectively throughout their intended life.
Explore resourceReliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM)
Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a structured decision-making process used to determine the most appropriate maintenance strategy for every asset based on how it fails, the consequences of failure, and the needs of the business.
Explore resourceRoot Cause Analysis (RCA)
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a structured process used to identify the underlying causes of a problem so that the problem can be permanently prevented from recurring.
