Fun Reliability Challenges

When acquiring mission-critical, major machinery, it is usually appropriate to use a detailed equipment specification to assure the best equipment is selected and purchased. Which of the following is the most appropriate approach to developing an equipment specification for a piece of equipment?

• Arrange for potential equipment suppliers to provide their own Sales and Engineering representatives to visit the plant (facility) where the equipment is to be installed, as often as necessary, to prepare an equipment specification

• Review applicable company specifications, as well as supplier and other machinery specifications. Develop a custom specification that provides detailed construction, installation, performance, and other criteria as determined by mission requirements. Confirm that machinery offered by suppliers will meet the criteria in the custom specification

• Review applicable specifications from appropriate industry groups, Bee the American Petroleum Institute (API). National Electrical Manufacturer’s Association (NEMA) etc and select the specification that best meets the business goals.

• Send potential suppliers' copies of all of the applicable specifications your company has developed, with a cover letter explaining that equipment provided must meet applicable points within the specifications provided. Review supplier quotes and purchase the equipment from the supplier whose quote best meets business goals.

Preventive Maintenance tasks should be grouped by

• Parts Required. task Interval and lockout-tag out requirement

• Skills & Parts Required

• Skill required, task and interval

When measuring the temperature of an object using a radiometric image, which two parameters have the greaters effect on accuracy of the temparature reading on the instrument

• Relative himidity and ambient air temperature

• Emissivity and Background temperature

• Aperture and Brightness

• Range and Span

Return on Assets ( ROA ) is Determined by:

• Net Income/Total Assets

• Gross Income/Total Assets

• Revenue/Total Assets

• Net Income/Maintenance Cost

What is The Best Way for a Maintenance and Reliability program to use process parameters

• Justify replacement equipment purchases

• Assists in the Explanation of Failures

• Assign detects to equipment and systems

• Correlate to changes in equiment condition

What Factor is not used to calculate OEE?

• Availability

• Failure Rate

• Quality Rates

• Throuhput Rate

What is one of the Significat Achievement of predictive maintenance program

• Permitting the ordering of long lead time parts when the equipment Breaks

• Minimizing use the components that are designed to wear out

• Increased awareness of and less uncertainty concerning machinery condition

• Providing delayed information about equipment condition after equiment has failed
