Failure is often a dirty word in maintenance. 😶 Your department gets chewed out when equipment breaks down. And being measured on downtime metrics makes any equipment issue the ultimate sin. That’s unproductive. Worse, it’s unfair. There are some things you just can’t control, like asset age, design, or user error. And failure can actually be a valuable resource. “You need failure to improve,” says Thibaut Drevet, MSc a former industrial and maintenance engineer. “Failure helps you understand the systems you are maintaining, how they operate, and how you can maintain them.” #Maintenance #EquipmentFailure #Productivity

The usage of parts can be streamlined by evaluating them based on the following five questions: 1. What is the specific function of the part? 2. Are there any alternative parts that can serve the same purpose? 3. Can the part be standardized or modular to fit multiple applications? 4. Is the part readily available from suppliers? 5. What is the cost and lead time for the part? Here are five other questions that can help you manage your parts usage. ⬇ #Maintenance #PartsUsage

DOT audits and compliance in fleet management 🚚 📊 To keep operations running Pro-Vac, LLC, must meet the strict compliance requirements of the Department of Transportation (DOT). Having experienced the painful process of traditional pen-and-paper audits in the past, being able to use Fiix to prepare for audits made the process painless. Each time a DOT audit is conducted, the company must be prepared with all the proper documents and reports—otherwise, the team can risk losing certifications, non-compliance, and penalties. Instead of shuffling through papers and filing cabinets, the team only has one source of truth for all their maintenance records through Fiix CMMS. This makes audits as simple as giving auditors access to the software or generating a quick report. 🔗 Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/eW2Di2xJ #Maintenance #Audits #DOT #Compliance

❓ What is reliability? And why is it important to understand the difference between it and other maintenance-related concepts? To put it simply, if something is reliable, it does what it’s supposed to every time you use it. In maintenance, that means that the systems, equipment, and processes you use will work as intended for a given time and under specific conditions. The better things work, the less downtime you experience. What about availability? Isn't that the same thing? Not exactly; let's take a closer look at the difference between these two approaches. ⬇ #Maintenance #Reliability #Availability #Strategy
