Document Summary
Learning objectives: describe how to improve system reliability, determine system reliability, determine mean time between failure (mtbf, distinguish between preventive and breakdown maintenance, describe how to improve maintenance, compare preventive and breakdown maintenance costs, define autonomous maintenance. The risk for safety and electricity cut-offs is enormous without preventive maintenance. The costs would be staggering if there was a breakdown. It provides a nice summary of the potential far-reaching implications of a system failure. Another potential disastrous consequence would be a safety hazard, possibly damaging the environment or even causing injury or death to employees, customers, or surrounding residents. Slide 10 identifies two primary tactics for both. Slide 11 (figure 17. 1) illustrates that good maintenance and reliability management requires employee involvement and good procedures, resulting in enhanced company performance. The interdependence of operator, machine, and mechanic is a hallmark of successful maintenance and reliability.
