Proactive and Precision Maintenance

Execution is where the rubber meets the road as we strive to improve the performance of our physical assets. The transition from reactive to proactive and precision maintenance is crucial for enhancing equipment reliability and performance.

This session explores Proactive and Precision Maintenance, emphasizing Fasteners, Lubrication, Alignment, and Balance. By focusing on these key areas, you can reduce downtime, extend machinery life, ensure operational efficiency, and improve the safety and sustainability of physical assets.

  • The Business Case for Proactive and Precision Maintenance
  • Fasteners - proper techniques for threaded and welded fasteners, belt tensioning, and Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR).
  • Lubrication - lubricant selection, application methods, and contamination and condition control.
  • Alignment - mechanical alignment techniques and managing electrical power quality and harmonics.
  • Balance - dynamic and static mechanical balancing of machinery and phase-to-phase electrical balance.
  • Inspections and Condition Monitoring – the feedback loop to ensure that all FLAB management practices are under control and achieve set targets.
  • Executing Proactive and Precision Maintenance

These are first principles for managing the reliability of physical assets. Failure to get these basics places all other investments to improve asset performance at risk.
