Nowlan and Heap said that the (conditional) probability of occurrence of most failure modes is constant throughout the life of a component. They described this behavior as being that of “random” failure. What is the Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) of a randomly … Continue reading
Smart CBM demo
This table top demonstration predicts failure by compiling and analyzing the history of an equipment that can fail at any time. The principles of Living RCM are applied as a prerequisite for smart Condition Based Maintenance (CBM). The failure mechanism, as in … Continue reading
