If it hurts when you do this, stop doing “this”!

Easier said than do? Perhaps. But, the first step is doing a good “root cause” analysis.

 

Repetitive failures can wreak havoc on plants in maintenance costs, heat rate, and availability! But, how do you stop it? A good root cause analysis program goes a long way.

 

Start with a maintenance history of the failure, check to see what has changed, when did it last work, what are the conditions now. It is a forensic science all its own. Does it need maintenance? Does it need a design change because the new plant conditions have changed? All good questions that deserve a good analysis.

 

Many plants used to have personnel that did this sort of thing. But, somehow they lost the personnel due to retirements or assignment changes. REM might be able to help.
