by  Terrence O'Hanlon , Publisher and CEO  Reliabilityweb.com  and  Uptime Magazine   On the song Revolution that appeared on the White Album many Beatles experts think John Lennon wrote “ We all want to change the world”  and  “We’d all love to see the plan”  to express his doubts about the methods being employed by some of the 60s protest movements who wanted to use him as a sponsor or...

No airline incident - amazing
Just returned from EuroMaintenance in Brussels and experienced no flight delays and no lost baggage.   Several years ago – this news would not be worthy of posting however now a flight without an “incident” actually reaches toward extraordinary.   Nothing stays still.     If you have excellent maintenance now – what will it look like in 2 years?   If you... more...

What happens when maintenance and reliability professionals organize?
That is the question (and the answer) we hope is posed by the Association for Maintenance Professionals.   The Association for Maintenance Professionals is not designed after most Government models – that is a chain of command model – top down model – decisions made at a distance model.   Rather it is designed to provide the tools for individuals and... more...

Whenever we complete a maintenance conference like RCM-2008, EAM-2008 and MTrain-2008 I cannot help but think that we need to do a better job talking with management about the financial benefits of doing “good practice” or “best practice” maintenance. Not only will this approach result in improved uptime, availability and reliability, it will... more...

Reliability in design and procurement
After hearing some of the positive stories about intensifying the reliability analysis at early stages of design and procurement at RCM-2008 it seems like this is an area that we need to find more resources for and have much more discussion around.   What are your experiences? more...

Operators Rock
I just had an opportunity to present some of my reliability concepts  to a group of operations managers from around the country. As I spoke - you could see the light bulbs turn on. It is not that operations managers do not think about reliability - it is that do not have a high level idea about what it is and how to get it. They just know that they want it and that... more...
