Failures are inevitable. The secret is catching them when they are still small and eliminate them before they can become catastrophic.

This strategy cannot be implemented if operating in a reactive mode.

TIME

Is the greatest enemy, A child starts to die the moment it is born and equipment is no different, it starts deteriorating the moment it is turned on, there is nothing you can do about it.

YOU CANNOT

Manage and control what you cannot see. or measure. Operating personnel losing efficiency and productivity chasing / looking for the failures rather than preventing them. Significant loss of productivity due to operating in a reactive mode.

PREVENTION

is cheaper than recovery, this needs no explanation but continues to be ignored by many managers.

IM POSSIBLE

to achieve and maintain the highest levels of availability 24×7 without operating in a proactive mode.

DETECTION

Small failures cannot be seen or heard by humans. Early detection is the secret to avoiding catastrophic failures.

What can I do? 4 things you can do that will immediately have an impact.

  • Do you know the cost of a failure in your company?
    89% of the companies do NOT KNOW the cost of a failure in their organisation!
    Failures are usually 3-10 times higher than initial estimates.
    If you don’t know the cost of a failure then you are probably making the wrong decisions.
  • There are only 3 causes of failures so why do your failures keep repeating time and again.
  • Focus on MTTR [ Mean Time To Repair] and NOT MTBF [Mean Time Between Failures]
    Availability 24×7 = MTBF / [MTBF + MTTR] Reducing the MTTR will have the same impact at a much lower price! Most companies focus on MTBF, which is more expensive and still not get the desired result.
  • Janus Predictive Monitoring™ is the most economical way to achieve and maintain the highest levels of availability 24×7. All equipment will give signals before it has a major failure and the secret is to detect these small signals and repair the failure before it can become catastrophic. Remote monitoring early detection and warning of these signals and allow rapid repairs before catastrophic shutdowns.
