Top 6 Tactics to Prevent Machine Failure – Introduction

VibePro presents the first in our new series, Top 6 Tactics to Prevent Machine Failure.

Introduction

In the Maintenance & Reliability community we discuss at length strategies and methods for preventing and predicting machine failure. There are many presentations, books and consultants available to teach the strategies for Predictive and Reliability-Centered maintenance programs.

This short tutorial offers 6 basic tactics for use in any maintenance program to further aid in the prevention of machine failure.

According to the US Department of Commerce, there approximately 12.4 million electric motors, 1hp and above, currently operating in industrial facilities in the United States. Close to 25% of these motors will fail this year. These tactics will help any company save money in maintenance by ensuring less machine failures. Operations will make money because there will be less production loss, downtime and scrap. Motors will run more efficiently, saving money on energy consumption and the reduction of the green house gas footprint. As legislation is introduced that taxes pollutants, toxic materials, and harmful emissions, organizations that reduce such issues will also reduce potential punitive costs.
