Equipment Management in the Post-Maintenance Era Advancing in the Era of Smart Machines

Equipment Management in the Post-Maintenance Era Advancing in the Era of Smart Machines

Recent advancements in information systems and computer technology have led to developments in equipment and robotic technology that have permanently changed the characteristics of manufacturing equipment. Equipment Management in the Post-Maintenance Era: Advancing in the Era of Smart Machines introduces a new way of thinking to help high-tech organizations manage an increasingly complex equipment base. It also facilitates the fundamental understanding of equipment management those in traditional industries will need to prepare for the emerging microchip era in equipment. Kern Peng shares insights gained through decades of managing equipment performance. Using a systems model to analyze equipment management he introduces alternatives in equipment management that are currently gaining momentum in high-tech industries. The book highlights the fundamental internal flaw in maintenance organizational setup presents new approaches to replace maintenance functional setup and illustrates a time-tested transformation and implementation process to help transition your organization from the maintenance era to the new post-maintenance era. Fundamentally it: Breaks down the history of equipment into five phases Provides a clear understanding of equipment management fundamentals and Introduces alternatives in equipment management beyond the mainstream principles of maintenance management. More specifically the book examines maintenance management logistics including planning and budgeting; training and people development; customer services and management; vendor management; and inventory management. Supplying a comprehensive look at the history of equipment management it analyzes current maintenance practice and details approaches that can significantly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of your equipment management well into the future. This second edition addresses the role of the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and significant advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in enabling a new generation of smart machines which have in turn laid the foundation for Industry 4. 0. Equipment utilizing IoT and sensors can monitor components and allow them to be serviced at an exact time without the need for a preventive maintenance schedule. Moreover equipment replacement rarely occurs at the end of the piece of equipment’s natural life; rather replacement is driven by the introduction of new technologies and products all of which lead to less maintenance activities and reduces the importance of the traditional maintenance function. Maintenance departments today operate with fewer employees and smaller budgets. At a point when machines are smart enough to keep themselves running or equipment is rendered obsolete by better equipment in a short time such as with computers and cellphones companies do not need a maintenance department. This updated edition reiterates the importance of transitioning to the post-maintenance era to effectively manage today’s sophisticated smart yet expensive equipment. Many changes the author predicted a decade ago are accelerating in the IoT era. Equipment management is moving further away from the maintenance era and advancing deeper into the post-maintenance era. The trend for smart machines is very clear and companies that do not upgrade their equipment will lose their competitiveness. As equipment and factories become smarter companies must change their practices and organizational structures to manage the new generation of equipment for Industry 4. 0. | Equipment Management in the Post-Maintenance Era Advancing in the Era of Smart Machines

The OEE Primer Understanding Overall Equipment Effectiveness Reliability and Maintainability

A valuable tool for establishing and maintaining system reliability overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) has proven to be very effective in reducing unscheduled downtime for companies around the world. So much so that OEE is quickly becoming a requirement for improving quality and substantiating capacity in leading organizations as well as a required area of study for the ISO/TS 16949. Breaking down the methodology from a historical perspective The OEE Primer: Understanding Overall Equipment Effectiveness Reliability and Maintainability explores the overall effectiveness of machines and unveils novel methods that focus on design improvement—including hazard analysis rate of change of failure (ROCOF) analysis failure rate finite element analysis (FEA) and theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ). It covers loss of effectiveness new machinery electrical maintenance issues Weibull distribution measurement techniques and mechanical and electrical reliability. The book also: Discusses Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) not as tools to be used in specific tasks rather as a disciplineCovers the application of OEE as an overall improvement toolAssesses existing and new equipment from classical reliability and maintainability perspectives Includes downloadable resources with more than 100 pages of appendices and additional resources featuring statistical tables outlines case studies guidelines and standardsIntroducing the classical approach to improvement this book provides an understanding of exactly what OEE is and how it can be best applied to address capacity issues.

Death Decomposition and Detector Dogs From Science to Scene

Death Decomposition and Detector Dogs From Science to Scene

Death Decomposition and Detector Dogs: From Science to Scene Second Edition is designed to help canine handlers detectives death investigators crime scene personnel (including forensic laboratory personnel technicians and supervisors) and attorneys understand the science involved when utilizing human remains detector (HRD) canines as a locating tool. The book covers the basic anatomy and physiology of canine olfaction and the unique characteristics of their scenting ability that allows dogs to be trained to locate distinct odors. Using concise and clear explanations and photographs the book reviews the science of forensic taphonomy. Factors that may affect the decomposition process are highlighted along with what the potential outcomes that may be encountered. The book examines how the odor of human remains is generated through various stages of decomposition and the manner in which environmental conditions in both land and water settings may affect that odor. Different types of background information that may help in determining possible search locations for missing individuals are included as well as assist the HRD canine handler in developing search plans are covered. Different tools and technologies that may be used in addition to an HRD canine team are included to help readers understand that are many ways to address searching for a decedent. Several case reports involving decedents found in both land and water settings in addition to different weather conditions are included to help the reader understand how the environment may have affected the condition of the decedent. This edition includes more case reports explaining how environmental factors were considered in HRD canine deployments in both land and water settings. Understanding which variables—and how such variables—can affect the state and condition of human remains as well as dispersion of odor from human remains will help canine handlers utilize their HRD canine more effectively as a locating tool. Death Decomposition and Detector Dogs Second Edition will help HRD canine handlers and other law enforcement personnel be better prepared to meet the challenges of their jobs before during and after searches for the missing. | Death Decomposition and Detector Dogs From Science to Scene
