Criticality and maintenance strategy

Criticality, failure modes,
and a program that deploys.

From ranking assets to a running PM program, and the reasoning behind each step.

01. Rank

Consequence decided deliberately, and published everywhere.

Scored, reviewed, approved

A criticality assessment scores consequence on your model and goes through approval before anything changes.

The letter travels

An approved assessment publishes the criticality every module shows on that machine, everywhere in the suite.

Hand-set letters retire

Once a plant has an approved assessment, the manually set letter goes read-only. One source of truth, deliberately.

The critical line

The cut that separates assets deserving engineering attention from the rest, drawn and visible.

02. Build

Strategy starts from how the machine actually fails.

Failure modes first

Each strategy is built on the ways the asset fails, so every task exists for a reason that is written down.

Tasks trace to modes

"Why do we do this PM?" has an answer on file: the failure mode it manages.

CSV import to start

Bring your asset list and existing PMs in from a spreadsheet and start from what you have.

03. Optimize and govern

Fewer wasted hours, and every change accounted for.

PM optimization

Lay the existing PM program against failure modes: keep, revise, add, retire - with the wasted hours quantified.

Your engineers decide

The module never prescribes an interval. It shows the case and records the call, because a wrong interval costs bearings.

Change requests

Proposed changes queue for review instead of editing the live program directly.

04. Deploy

A strategy that reaches the CMMS, the storeroom, and the boardroom.

CMMS export

The approved program exports in a file your CMMS takes.

Deployment tracking

What has actually been loaded, area by area, so "deployed" is a fact rather than a feeling.

Critical spares

The parts an important asset needs on the shelf, listed from its failure modes.

An executive report

The whole program summarized with its scope and dates stated, so the quoted number means what the reader thinks.

The fastest way to judge it is to open it.

The demo plant has this module switched on, with records already in it.
