Reliability engineers have many tools and techniques available to perform their role. Individually, these tools can successfully contribute to solving issues. On some occasions the opportunity arises to combine many of these to support a single objective or task.

This case study will show how combining the following tools and techniques to improve the equipment availability of a haul truck fleet:

• Pareto Analysis (Downtime Analysis)
• Data Analytics (Weibull Analysis)
• T Test (Statistical Analysis)
• Maintenance optimisation
• Modelling and Simulation (RBD Analysis)
• Defect Elimination (Root Cause Analysis)

This project used a number of tools and techniques to systematically analyse the downtime and quantify five improvements that exceeded the truck availability target.

in this session, Mark will walk you through;
• The Identification of the problem (low availability) and the five main contributing factors
• Analysis of the causes of the low availability
• Development of proposed solutions
• Quantification of the solution to the equipment availability

And provide you with a structured approach to problem solving as well as practical example for common reliability tools.
