Most maintenance organisations are looking to move from a repair-focused to reliability-focused culture, but how can we shift from one to the other?

We were proud to once again participate in Mainstream. Here are some of the key themes discussed at this year's conference.

Let's discuss the challenges that we have observed our clients struggle with as they have implemented their APM solutions, and how to avoid falling for these same traps.

What is an APM system, where does it fit in the Asset Management information system landscape, and what you should hope to achieve through implementation?

Can you make sense of your asset related data? Can you use this data to optimise your business? Integrating data from the EAM system is not always smooth sailing.

Let's consider how to obtain value in maintenance and reliability improvement projects, and approaches that we can take to estimate value from the improvement.

In this article, we continue our exploration by considering how developments such as big data and predictive analytics are contributing to reliability improvement.

Let's discuss some of the key tools and techniques that can be used to contribute to sound equipment reliability, and where these may be applicable.

Reliability centered maintenance (RCM) is a powerful methodology which can drive significant improvements in equipment reliability and plant performance.

With real-time asset health monitoring equipment, and the advent of predictive analytics and big data, is the PF Interval really relevant anymore?

Let's discuss the key activities associated with the acquisition, operation, maintenance and disposal of classified plant and equipment.

What is good lubrication, and what is the cost of doing it wrong? In this article, we will look at 5 simple steps to improve your lubrication program.

Using the latest research and practical experience, let's outline the ways maintenance managers can reduce or eliminate the impact of human error.

Let's explore a streamlined approach for determining equipment criticality, which achieves the desired results while consuming less of your time.

In this presentation given at the IMARC conference in 2014, we discuss how to improve equipment and people productivity in the mining industry.

Most organisations identify "critical" assets extremely poorly, and the effort that they put into these assessments is mostly wasted. Let’s examine why.

Let's explore a range of alternative approaches for organisations and individuals to use when developing and optimising preventive maintenance programs.

Here are four core concepts which apply to the development of effective preventive maintenance programs, no matter what approach you use.

Let's review the issues associated with template maintenance plans, to ensure that you achieve lower cost, higher reliability, and higher availability.

Following a boom, the main challenge that maintenance, operations and reliability leaders usually face is to survive the inevitable cost cutting that follows.

Yes, the issue was a problem and, yes, the issue got 'cleaned up', which is the proper initial action. However, the true problem likely still remains.
