During the Improvement Loop, we take a look at Identifying and Prioritizing.

In particular, if we examine Work Requests, some questions we can ask include;
❓Are new work requests of the right quality?
❓Is the template being used correctly?
❓How many work requests are returned to the originator?
❓Are the right people (still) involved in the daily review of work requests?
❓How is this meeting effectiveness?

These are just some surface questions that we need to look at when identifying and prioritizing work requests.

Water corrosion is literally all round us! Water

Water corrosion is literally all round us!

Water can damage most metals, especially steel making it the dreaded enemy for most of our equipment.

Understanding the circumstances under which water can damage metal can help us prevent it in the future.

Also being able to identify the types of corrosion based mechanisms can lead to us being able to stop it or plan for these with our equipment.

Shane Turcott is giving a 4 hour course on 16th November, 2023 from 9am-1pm EST detailing various ways and circumstances water can damage metal.

There will also be reviews of numerous case studies of common water-based corrosion mechanisms. These case studies are based upon laboratory analyses of failures experienced in the refining and petrochemical industries.

Reviewing back-to-back cases and studying numerous photographs of how each mechanism attacks metals helps deepen one's understanding of corrosion.

I already got my course material (thanks Shane), join us:

I am so incredibly proud of my friend, Kate Ainley

I am so incredibly proud of my friend, Kate Ainley-Zoll who recently published, “Portraits of Perseverance; The Big Book of 200 Women in STEM”.
@portraitsofperserverance
How did she do it?

Since she's a minor, a lot of publishing houses did not want to partner with her.

So, she decided to create her own publishing company to ensure that the world got access to her firs book celebrating 200 women in STEM.

Get your hands on this incredible book which has been compiled by this young super star:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2SW3CQT/ref=sr_1_1?crid=140FK0NSKY9K6&keywords=kate+ainley-zoll&qid=1682525425&sprefix=kate+ainley%2Caps%2C726&sr=8-1

So proud of everything you have accomplished and are yet to accomplish Kate!

In the MLA III course candidates are required to be knowledgeable of analysing lubricant degradation as it accounts for 25% of the content in the exam!

In this topic, the candidates should be aware of oxidative base oil failure, thermal failure of base oil, additive depletion / degradation which includes assessing risk for common additive depletion / degradation mechanisms and strengths, limitations and applicability of methods for measuring additive depletion / degradation and finally being able to detect wrong lubricant addition.

The Job Plan Feedback form is very important!

In this feedback form, we can assess the 5 Ms (Method, Manpower, Machine, Materials, Money) and determine areas of improvement.

For example, when analysing the method, some questions which can be asked are:
❓Were all the steps, procedures, technical details etc available in the work pack?
❓Was equipment access, rigging and lifting requirements as per the work pack?
❓Were all HSE hazards and required controls identified in the job plan?
❓Were all the required drawings, datasheets and manuals included in the workpack?

These are just some questions!

Q: Is there only one type of Lubrication regime? 🧐

The short answer is no.

There are 4 types of lubrication regimes that equipment can experience and each component usually experiences at least 3 within their lifetime!

The 4 types of regimes are; Boundary Lubrication, Mixed Lubrication, Hydrodynamic Lubrication and Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication.

🔷Most components experience boundary lubrication on start up where there isn’t a proper layer of lubrication between the two surfaces.

🔷As more oil is gradually introduced to the component, it begins to experience Mixed Lubrication. In this state, the oil film is still not fully formed and is a bit thicker in some places than others.

🔷When the component is full immersed in the lubricant, it usually achieves Hydrodynamic Lubrication which allows for a full film to be formed between the two surfaces.

🔷On the other hand, with Elastohydrodynamic lubrication, something quite special occurs with the lubricant causing the component to deform slightly ensuring that the film is maintained between the two surfaces.

Unfortunately, at one point or another in our lives, we have had to deal with a Bad Boss.

Typically, these bosses can leave us feeling insecure, decrease or confidence level and even make us frustrated with our jobs and the workplace.

Nobody should have to endure this, yet it is a common occurrence for more than 60% of people in the workforce.

We want to change that.

Join us on the “How to Deal with an A**hole Boss” Program led by Coach, @bosscoachrobk of @elite_high_performance as we empower you with the tools you need.

If you are the person who needs to understand how to implement the technical elements of reliability improvement and perform the analysis that will drive the key decisions, this is the ideal course for you.

The reliability engineer must be tremendously versatile.

They must understand a broad range of technical subjects and be capable of applying them all.

If you are up for the challenge, the Asset Reliability Practitioner [ARP-E] “Reliability Engineer” course is just what you need.

You will master everything from defect elimination, asset strategy development with RCM, PMO, and FMEA, planning and scheduling, spares and materials management, condition monitoring, precision maintenance practices, reliability data analysis, criticality and Pareto analysis, root cause analysis and FRACAS, lubrication and asset care, and other topics.

There is a lot to learn, but to be a successful reliability engineer, you must learn it all.

Fortunately, the Mobius Institute™ training techniques will ensure that you will not just survive the course, you will enjoy it, understand all the topics, and feel confident in the role of a reliability engineer.

How do you deal with Emergency maintenance? Here

How do you deal with Emergency maintenance?

Here are a couple of tips when dealing with Emergency Maintenance:
⚒Once observed, it should be reported to the Supervisor
⚒Conduct quick prioritization and get approval to break into the Frozen Weekly schedule
⚒Supervisor or experienced technician plans work ‘on the fly’
⚒Do use existing records and job plans
⚒CMMS entry can follow later
⚒Don’t compromise on Safety

Q: What makes a lubricant Environmentally Friendly

Q: What makes a lubricant Environmentally Friendly? 🤔

There are three main factors which are considered when deeming a lubricant environmentally friendly;

✅ Speed at which the lubricant biodegrades if introduced into nature
✅ Toxicity characteristics that may affect bacteria or aquatic life
✅ Bioaccumulation potential

Biodegradability is defined as the measure of the breakdown of a chemical or chemical mixture by micro-organisms. It is considered at two levels namely;

✅ Primary biodegradation - loss of one or more active groups renders the molecule inactive with respect to a particular function

✅ Ultimate degradation – complete breakdown to carbon dioxide, water and mineral salts (known as mineralisation)

Check out the extended answer on the website for more info on the Environmentally Friendly or Aware lubricants:

Guess who will be presenting at #EmpoweringWomen2023 ?!

Join me for the session, "Representation Matters - The importance of mentorship and being a role model".

I had so much fun with this one as I got to dive into growing up in the Caribbean and not having any female role models in my field, so I decided to be that role model for others.

I also talk about what it means to have actual representation in the workplace and why it is so important.

During this session, we will also take a look at the role of mentorship and what we can do to have better representation in the workplace.
