Visual Lubrication Management
An iPresentation Tutorial by Kelly Wollschlager, Trico Corp.
This 5 minute iPresentation discusses visual lubrication management. Visual lubrication management is the use of color coding and visual aides to ensure the right lubricant is used in the right piece of equipment and in the proper location. Color coding bulk lubricants from the time they enter the facility to the point of use will reduce the amount of lubricant cross contamination that occurs in everyday top-ups, re-lubrication and re-greasing activities.

Creating Reliability in Employee Performance
An iPresentation Tutorial by Bob Peffen, CMRP, MRG
Without clear direction and performance expectations, employees will react to the daily changes in demands placed upon them. This reactive behavior to changing demands ultimately impacts the reliable performance of a business organization. Reliable performance depends upon having clear direction and performance expectations for all employees. This is a key role of managers and supervisors. In this 10 minute iPresentation, Bob Peffen will provide information and instructions to managers and supervisors on how to create reliable performance and accountability for employees within an organization.

Reliability Tools in a Capital Project from FEL I through Execution Workshop at IMC-2008 only
by Bob DiFrancesco, ARMS Reliability Engineers
Time was that a major capital project was judged strictly by schedule and budget coherence. In many cases this is sadly still the case.
Some organizations like IPA now suggest that best in class capital projects go a step further. Project teams are going beyond the HAZOP utilizing Reliability Tools to interrogate a projects design. The typical tools include Reliability Block Logic Diagrams, Reliability Centered Maintenance and Life Cycle Cost Analysis.
The closer to the conceptual phase of a project that tools are introduced the greater impact they can have on the assets’ long term success. In the best case they can impact Reliability in Design by identifying potential critical design improvements that will improve the assets availability. At latter stages they can identify maintenance requirement bottlenecks that impact availability.
If identified early enough in the FEL process critical bottlenecks can be eliminated by cost effective design changes, if not they are identified for future asset enhancements. At the very least the tools can develop an optimized asset management plan so the overall availability of the equipment and the necessary resources to operate and maintain it are understood prior to commissioning.
The workshop will outline how the tools are used during each project phase and what deliverables are generated.

Optimizing Preventive Maintenance in 9 Minutes of less
Reliability 101 – Part 4
By Ricky Smith, CMRP
Hopefully you have viewed Reliability 101 – Parts 1, 2, and 3 …. You are going to find Part 4 really awesome.
This session goes behind the secret curtain of the maintenance world and exposes a resource intensive problem most companies face -Preventive Maintenance.
In Part 4 we answer the big question “does your PM program provide the results you expect?”. Most managers would tell you they either don’t know or the answer is “NO, their PM program is not providing the results they expect”. Basically, it’s because they aren’t as aware as they should be, they haven’t Defined the Tasks that are causing all the troubles!

Nuclear Pump Bearing Testing
Nuclear power plants depend on electric motor-driven pumps to circulate coolant through a closed system of pipes to help dissipate excess heat. These machines, called reactor coolant pumps, RCPs, must be monitored continuously to ensure dependable operation. RTDs located on the pump’s bearings measure temperature and send the signal to an automatic alarm and control system that quickly alerts operators of any change in status. RCP bearings are likely suspects for failures, which could delay power production and cause the plant to lose significant revenues. One failure mode is a bearing seal that leaks lubricant and can become a fire hazard. Because of their importance, RCP bearings are a high priority component to watch, and usually, multiple sensors serve each bearing to provide a certain amount of redundancy.
