Description:

Troubleshooting of equipment involves evaluation of the process and mechanical condition of equipment to determine the probable cause for identified or suspected problems. This troubleshooting information is used by the operator to determine if the problem is equipment or process related and to develop the scope for work requests. This presentation will discuss a process which will give guidance in determining the suspected source of the problem and will aid the operator in determining if the problem is equipment or process related before any equipment is overhauled. The expected results are reduced overhauls on equipment, improved MTBF, increased operator knowledge, better notifications, and a way to capture the knowledge of plant “experts”. Because this process is available at all times, it can be used by the operator when the problem is discovered. If using this process reduces overhauls of equipment by only 5% (5 out of 100 uses), it can have a substantial impact on a maintenance budget.
