Certification Services on: Maintainability, Operability, and Reliability
Certification on Maintainability, Operability, and Reliability is a Performance Guarantee for Users of Equipment
Maintainability is the set of features that make equipment "Maintenance Friendly" and therefore reduce MTTR or Mean Time To Repair.
Operability is the set of features that will make the machine "Operator Friendly" taking into account ease of operation, safety, and ergonomics. This provides less stress, effort, and tiredness; and more safety for the operators.
Reliability is the set of features in a piece of equipment that provide a longer MTBF or Mean Time Between Failure.
In the current environment of worldwide competition, manufacturers of equipment need to get very critical of their products in these important issues. Reliability has a lot to do with the quality of the design and the construction of the equipment, its components, etc. on the other hand Maintainability requires more than anything “Common Sense” which is said to be the least common of senses. Operability must be taken into account as a factor that will determine the ease, safety, and ergonomics that the operator will experience while working with the machine.
Still today we can find pieces of equipment that present many inconveniences to the people in charge of their maintenance or operation.
Many Equipment Manufacturers are becoming aware of this situation and are interested into having their products bring these parameters to the highest level possible.
Lean Expertise has been developing a series of Standards that can help those companies substantially improve their products.
If you are interested on this service, we will be pleased to assess the current conditions of your machines and deliver a series of recommendations that strongly bring those features up to the expectations of the customers, and sometimes even exceed them.
