Maintenance GRS

Lean is

• Problem

• Complicate

• Simple

• Big

Which of the following manufacturing improvement tools uses statistical process control techniques and design of experiments as a primary method?

• Root Cause Analysis

• Predictive maintenance

• Six Sigma

• Supply chain management

Business excellence requires that in most companies the following things be done well and integrated effectively:

• Budgeting, executing, follow-up

• Communications, recruitment

• Reliability improvement, sales, installation

• Marketing, manufacturing, research and development

Which of the following is the least productive way to gain employee ownership in a maintenance or reliability task?

• Ask the employee to attend a Maintenance and Reliability conference to obtain buy-in

• Allow the employee to develop programs on assets that have die largest impact on the organization, according to their experience

• Ask the employee to develop programs on assets identified as critical, and validate with them

• Assign the work with details about how, where, and when it is to be done

Which of the following are leading tools or techniques to identify Maintenance and Reliability process improvements?1. Total Productive Maintenance2. Reliability Centered Maintenance3. Historical analysis of spending patterns4. Process benchmarking with industry leaders

• 2, 3, 4

• 1, 3, 4

• 1, 2, 4

• 1, 2, 3

How do you avoid the pitfall of the Maintenance and Reliability Program appearing to have little value to the organization?

• Implement all available predictive technology techniques

• Use a systematic approach to ensure business goals drive the effort

• Establish a comprehensive communication program including e-mail web page, and newsletter

• Claim the success of the company is directly related to the Maintenance and Reliability program

The Maintainability of a machine may be measured by:

• Life Cycle Cost.

• Machine Maintenance Cost.

• Failure Rate.

• Mean Time To Repair (MTTR).

Reliability predictions are often expressed in terms of Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) or its reciprocal. The reciprocal is known as the:

• Failure Rate.

• Failure Mode.

• Mean Time To Failure.

• Service Life.

Which of the following answers is not a critical factor in identifying customer requirements in developing a Maintenance and Reliability Program?

• Define customer needs

• Establish standard operating procedures

• Validate customer requirements

• Identify and prioritize requirements

The interval between condition-based maintenance (CBM) tasks should be determined based on:

• How quickly the failure mode progresses and causes functional failure.

• The failure rate under different operating conditions.

• The criticality of the equipment and the impact of the failure mode.

• The failure rate under different operating conditions.
