Why should you use repeatable maintenance procedures?
4 likes1,847 views
The document emphasizes the importance of implementing repeatable procedures in maintenance to reduce human-induced errors, which account for 70-80% of failures. It outlines the various types of errors and the critical need for standardized processes, effective training, and knowledge capture to optimize asset reliability and mitigate mistakes. Additionally, it discusses the necessity of developing clear work procedures and the proactive approach to maintenance for better organizational performance.
Why should you use repeatable maintenance procedures?

- 2. Copyright 2013 GPAllied Why Repeatable Job Procedures? Description Probability General rate for errors involving very high stress levels - Maintenance 30% Complicated non-routine task, with stress 30% Supervisor does not recognize the operator’s error 10% Non-routine operation, with other duties at the same time 10% Operator fails to act correctly in the first 30 minutes of stressful emergency situations 10% Errors in simple arithmetic with self-checking 3% General error rate for oral communication 3% Failure to return the manually operated test valve to the correct configuration after maintenance 1% Operator fails to act correctly after the first few hours in a high stress scenario 1% General error of omission 1% General error rate for an act performed incorrectly 0.3% Error in simple routine operation 0.1% Selection of the wrong switch (dissimilar in shape) 0.1% Selection of a key-operated switch rather that a non-key-operated switch (EOC) 0.01% Human performance limit: single operator 0.01% Human performance limit: team of mechanics performing a well-designed task 0.001%

- 9. Copyright 2013 GPAllied Reactive Maintenance Attributes • Ineffective or No Planning and Scheduling • PM Compliance has a wide variance • Performing PM on Equipment that continues to breakdown • Overnight deliveries sit for weeks, months • Everyone works as hard as they can with little if any movement seen toward proactive • Storeroom is Chaos (people standing in line at 7:00am waiting on parts)
- 10. Copyright 2013 GPAllied What percent of your failures are human induced? • 10% • 20% • 50% • 70% • Studies say 70-80% • What percentage can we stop or reduce? • How can you reduced them? • Do you have the discipline? • Can you change the way every thinks – top to bottom in the organization?
- 11. Copyright 2013 GPAllied Maintenance Issues • Most maintenance staff actually work 2-4 hours a day - Effective Direct work is low – Lack of effective Planning – Lack of effective Scheduling • 70-80 % of equipment failures are Human-INDUCED – Not using a Torque Wrench – Not knowing specifications – Not having the right part at the right time – Improperly handling and installing bearings – No Repeatable PM, Corrective, Lube Procedures Is this problem serious? It cannot be that bad!

- 14. Copyright 2013 GPAllied “A Proactive Reliability Process is a supply chain. If a step in the process is skipped, or performed at a substandard level, the process creates defects known as failures. The output of a healthy reliability process is optimal asset reliability at optimal cost.” ― Ron Thomas, Retired Reliability Director, Dofasco Steel

- 17. Copyright 2013 GPAllied How do we resolve this Problem?
- 18. Copyright 2013 GPAllied Developing and Executing Work Procedures? • Quantitative Preventive Maintenance • Corrective Maintenance • Operator Care • Lubrication
- 19. Copyright 2013 GPAllied Why are Work Procedures Important? • Repeatable process • Capture knowledge • Train new employees • Reduce self induced failures
- 20. Copyright 2013 GPAllied Implement a Repeatable Process • What is required to ensure you have a repeatable process? – Step by Step Procedures – Specifications / Standards – Required Parts – Potential Parts – Special Tools (Core Drill) – Special Equipment (60 JLG Lift) – Craft and Number of Each Craft – Special Permits
- 21. Copyright 2013 GPAllied We want to Capture Knowledge • Knowledge from Experience maintenance personnel • Knowledge gained from RCA • Knowledge gained from similar work • All RCM and FMEA results
- 22. Copyright 2013 GPAllied Train “New” Employees (What about current employees?) • Use work procedures as training tool • Ensuring everyone is trained to same standard • Ensure everyone is trained and qualified to use special tools • If new information presents itself, change the procedure • Use for qualification and certification – Critical Procedures • Rebuild a large worm drive gearbox • Clean hydraulic reservoir
- 23. Copyright 2013 GPAllied Reduce (eliminate) Self Induced Failures (70-80%?) • What are your current self induced failures – Use Failure Codes, Cause Codes, and Action Codes – Measure Rework – Measure Mean Time Between Failure • Ensure everyone employs the same standards, specifications • Ensure all work is repeatable • Ensure the right tool is applied in the proper manner – Torque Wrench, Bearing Heater, etc.
- 24. Copyright 2013 GPAllied At What level should procedures be written? • Lowest level conceivable • Simple – Apply KISS Method • Complexity if acceptable as well if required
