Reliability Engineering:
Identifying and managing asset reliability risks that could adversely affect plant or business operations. Primary role is to
find out loss elimination, risk management and life cycle asset management (LCAM), IQ, OQ & PQ etc.
Loss Elimination:
tracking the production losses and abnormally high maintenance cost assets, then find ways to reduce those losses or high
costs. These losses are prioritized to focus efforts on the largest/most critical opportunities. Developing a plan to eliminate
or reduce the losses through root cause analysis, obtains approval of the plan and facilitates the implementation.
Risk Management:
Managing risk to the achievement of an organization’s strategic objectives in the areas of environmental health and safety,
asset capability, quality and production. Tools used to identify and reducing risk of:
• PHA – Preliminary hazards analysis
• FMEA – Failure modes and effects analysis
• CA – Criticality analysis
• SFMEA – Simplified failure modes and effects analysis
• MI – Maintainability information
• FTA – Fault tree analysis
• ETA – Event tree analysis
Life Cycle Asset Management:
95 percent of the total cost of ownership (TCO) or life cycle cost (LCC) of an asset is determined before it is put into use.
This reveals the need for the reliability to be involved in the design and installation stages of projects for new assets and
modification of existing assets.
• Expertise reliability in design & development (Stress-Strength Analysis, FMEA, FTA, tolerance & worst case analysis,
reliability modeling & reliability prediction. DFX (assembly, manufacturability, service) parts & system management.
