3. When you look at reliability benchmarks, a strange paradox emerges. The companies
who are stuck in the reactive mode not only have lower reliability but also higher
costs. The best companies have a low cost with high reliability.

8. Reliability-focused
Maintenance Practices
The range of maintenance practices
Our goal is to help your
facility manage the
evolution of your
maintenance program. A
sustainable platform for
efficiency improvement is
easily achieved by
addressing key issues
which may involve
a dynamic mix of
programs.
Operator Driven Reliability (ODR)
Front line operators identify/describe/
communicate machine information to
the plant-wide team.
Proactive Reliability Maintenance (PRM)
Predictive maintenance applied to help
identify root causes of machine/process
problems.
Predictive Maintenance (PdM)
Machine condition assessed using
condition monitoring technologies;
unplanned shutdowns reduced.
Preventive Maintenance (PM)
Unplanned and planned shutdowns
scheduled to overhaul equipment at
pre-determined intervals.
Reactive/Corrective
Fix it when it breaks approach; unplanned
shutdowns occur when the machine breaks.

Proactive Reliability
Maintenance
• PRM is a proven process that enables
maintenance and operations to eliminate
the root cause of the failure.
• Prevent recurring machine failure
– Reduce maintenance costs
– Increase machine uptime and
product quality
– Safely extend the life of equipment
– Optimize plant asset efficiency
– Improve your planning process
– Empower maintenance and
operations to succeed

13. Integrated Maintenance
Solution (IMS)
• IMS is a performance-based service
contract where AYT Reliability Systems
takes responsibility for your plant’s
physical asset management strategy.
• Shares the risk and savings.
• You get agreed-upon financial returns
and technology upgrades – without
capital investment.
14. • The 7-step process to optimize
plant asset efficiency is
customized to specific business
needs based on internal resources
and current supplier contracts:
– Assessment
– Maintenance strategy
– Proactive reliability
maintenance
– Technology updates
– Machine maintenance
– Training

16. ReCap: What is PdM? PRM? IMS?
• PdM – Predictive Maintenance – Collect and analyze data to detect potential functional
failure (This is the “failure finding” part of proactive maintenance and is a common practice
among HPI/Oil & Gas facility – although the use of that data is questionable)
• PRM – Proactive approach to maintenance that includes:
• PdM
• Root Cause Failure Analysis process (This is the “failure elimination” part of proactive
maintenance and is an inconsistent practice among HPI/Oil & Gas facilities)
• Key Performance Indicators – not necessarily guarantees, but established KPIs
• Operational Review
• IMS – Comprehensive agreement that includes PRM (services and technology) with
deliver of consumables (e.g., bearings, seals, lubricants). It can include additional
services such as lubrication. (This also serves as an example, for the rest of the
maintenance function, of how to prevent, find failures, eliminate failures)
19. FOUR STAGES OF MAINTENANCE
EXCELLENCE
• More proactive than
reactive
• Balance between
functional orientation &
customer
• Weekly planning &
scheduling
• Maintenance

• Unit Cost Management
• High compliance to PM
programs
• Materials management
focus
• Computerized work order
management system
• Entirely reactive
• Little structure
• No formal planning and

• Very few performance
measures
• No budgets
• Limited PM
• No formal Materials
Management Function
• Few Systems
• More reactive than
proactive
• Functional orientation
• Daily planning and
scheduling
• Performance measures
typically against budget
• Cost reduction programs
• PM programs in place
• Some storeroom control
• Isolated systems and cost
reporting
• Work is performed
according to plan
• Multi-functional
integration and self-
managed teams
• Longer term focus with
high schedule compliance
• Customer satisfaction and
total cost focus
• Total productive
maintenance orientation
• Ongoing assessment of
PM program effectiveness
• Total supply chain Focus
• On-line, integrated
system

The reality of failure
There are six failure patterns
The majority of failures are random, not time-based and in some cases maintenance can
induce failures

23. How Can Operators Contribute
to Improved Machine
Reliability?
• Operator inspections provide increased opportunities for failure detection.
• Trending the measurement results identifies even small, incremental changes.
• Sharing the results improves teamwork and proactive decision making.
