Columbia Gas
Transmission Corporation Models Operational Excellence by Integrating
RCM and Work Management
Presented at the Reliability Conference, April 1999, Cincinnati, OH |
| In
an effort to achieve operational excellence, Columbia Gas Transmission
corporation felt it imperative to capture all of the financial and
efficiency savings associated with an optimized maintenance process.
The variability in their maintenance plans and procedures across
seven states needed to be standardized. An integrated implementation
of RCM and CMMS would provide the tools and process to achieve those
goals. |

A Maintenance Optimization
Success Story
A Case Study for Improved Reliability and Profit Generation
Presented at the Reliability Conference, April, 1997, Phoenix, AZ. |
| This
paper describes the maintenance optimization program that was installed
and implemented at Dayton Power & Light. The primary target
of this program was for equipment reliability improvement, O&M
budget reduction, and extension of capital asset purchases associated
with substation equipment. |

Incorporate RCM into
acceptance testing to detect latent defects
... Avoid warranty issues and premature failure
Presented at the 2001 International Joint Power Generation Conference,
New Orleans, LA
|
| This
paper describes the need for RCM based technologies during acceptance,
with examples from previous projects. It also develops the complete
justification and model format for using RCM in the entire process
from procurement through acceptance. |

Integrating
SCADA, Diagnostics and CMMS for a World Class On-Line Diagnostic
System
Presented at the Reliability Conference, April,
1998, Charlotte, NC.
|
| This
paper provides results of a RAM (Reliability, Availability, and
Maintainability) study outlining a detailed plan for optimizing
maintenance for TVA's substation operation. It included implementation
of an on-line expert system. |

Chemical
Plant Productivity Doubles after Three Months of Overall Equipment
Effectiveness (OEE) Measurement
You Can’t Improve What You Can't Measure
Presented at the Reliability Conference, April,
2001, Phoenix, AZ
|
| Manganese
ore processing is a hot, hard and dirty business, leading to excessive
breakdowns, minor stoppages, quality rejects, and startup losses.
This paper describes how one chemical company started to measure
OEE and doubled their production within three months. |
