Approximately half of the PMP exam will represent Approximately half of the PMP exam will represent predictive project management approaches while the remaining half will represent agile or hybrid approaches. 

However, predictive, agile and hybrid approaches will be found throughout the three main domains (People, Process & Business Environment) and are not isolated to a particular domain or task in the exam. 

Remember, these domains account for the following percentage of questions in the exam:
🟠 People: 42%
🟠 Process: 50% 
🟠 Business Environment: 8%

Ever wondered about the characteristics of the Mai Ever wondered about the characteristics of the Maintenance Planner?

It is essential to understand these to ensure that we have chosen the right person for this very important job!

A Maintenance Planner usually has a strong technical background of the equipment that work is being planned for and solid experience as a technician. 

This will allow them to properly plan the tasks associated with this equipment and ensure that the list of tools are adequately assigned. 

This individual must be highly organized and focused on continuous improvement not perfection!

The FZG rating is quite commonly found in data she The FZG rating is quite commonly found in data sheets, but what exactly does it mean?

FZG stands for “Forschungsstelle für Zahnräder und Getriebebau”, Technische Universität München (Gear Research Centre, Technical University, Munich), Boltzmannstraße 15, D-85748 Garching, Germany.

There are several FZG tests and these vary to establish different things. 

The FZG tests were designed to accurately determine the types of gear failures that were influenced by scuffing, low speed wear, micropitting and pitting. 

While there are load other tests for gear oils (such as Timken OK test) these do not accurately identify the actual failure stages that gears experience.

Find out more about the FZG rating and how to read it in the article below:

Did you know that Lubricant selection is one of th Did you know that Lubricant selection is one of the many topics covered in the MLA I? 

This topic ensures that candidates are familiar with viscosity selection, base-oil type selection, additive system selection, machine specific lubricant requirements as well as application and environment related adjustments. 

The machine specific lubricant requirements include those for hydraulic systems, rolling element bearings, journal bearings, reciprocating engines, gearing and gearboxes.

Quite often, storage and handling of lubricants ge Quite often, storage and handling of lubricants gets overlooked but these procedures can make a very big impact on the reliability of equipment. 

In this first article, featured on @ludeca_inc_ ’s blog, “Implementing Lubricant Storage & Handling Procedures: Part 1 – Understanding Contamination”, we talk all about the difference that one micron can make as well as Contamination and its effects.

Contamination is also known as a mode of lubricant degradation and can be the cause of other modes of degradation. 

Let’s try to reduce the number of failures which occur due to contamination as a result of poor lubricant storage and handling procedures.

We’ve developed an On Demand module that covers We’ve developed an On Demand module that covers the time aged question, “Why parts fail?” 🤔

This module provides an in-depth understanding of how to verify hypotheses developed in a Root Cause Analysis. Dynamic presentations are made to teach attendees how to identify mechanical failure modes by reading fracture surfaces on components. ⚙

It includes actual examinations of failed components and even discusses the phases of failure that one should be on the lookout for during an investigation or even in the normal daily operations.

We’ve also included “Test your knowledge Exercises” in the On Demand WPF course! 

Join us and get acquainted with the reasons why parts fail at your own time!

Did you know that there are four main causes of hu Did you know that there are four main causes of human unreliability?🤷‍♀️

These are:
1️⃣ Human Error: Low stress or high stress error
2️⃣ Human deficiency or lack of knowledge or skill
3️⃣ Alienation: withdrawal of the ability to add value to work and suppression of the human asset
4️⃣ Lack of motivation or incentives to do the work

Each of these can lead to human errors which can affect production losses or even unplanned downtime due to a failure. 

Have you ever included human error in any of your investigations? 

Be sure to check out the On Demand Human Error Reduction Techniques workshop where we have lots more info on these techniques!

Weibull analysis is an integral part of RCMR®. Weibull analysis is an integral part of RCMR®. 

Weibull is extremely useful in determining the physics of single failure causes. 

 (the shape parameter) actually enables analysts to determine a suitable type of consequence management policy for treating each failure cause. 

RCMR supports task frequency calculation by analysing failure events whenever failure data is available in the current asset’s operating context. 

Task frequencies can also be estimated for those instances when accurate data is not yet available. 

Join Jesus Sifonte of Conscious Reliability for the live sessions from 2-4pm EST on 26 May & 02, 09 & 16 June, 2023 as we talk more about failure modes.
