Interview the manager/superintendent of your condition monitoring program, and if the program is contractor supplied, interview the contractor as well. From the interview you need to determine the full extent of the service from a management perspective (personnel involved, amount of possible equipment included in the program and your estimate of the cost of the program).
Interview the customer/owner of the equipment (preferably someone in a supervisory capacity) to determine what they see as the three (3) most significant restrictions to receiving an excellent service. These restrictions maybe within the control of the parties involved and taken from the list shown on the survey sheet attached. If the condition monitoring service is a combination of both in-house and external parties, a separate sheet is needed for each supplier.
For each of the restrictions identified, provide recommendations on how best to overcome the problems identified. Your answer should contain specific actions that could be undertaken by either the service supplier and/or client.Click Here To Get More On This Paper!!!!
Part 2: What monitoring work is done 15 Marks
From Part 1, you have determined what equipment is being monitored. Interview the condition monitoring technicians and establish what parameters are being collected, for example, vibration, oil, temperature, NDT and process values (e.g. pressure, flow). Detail the exact tests that are carried out on 5 different items of equipment (state what the equipment is), down to the type of vibration reading with frequency ranges, what oil analysis is done and how temperature is monitored, and what process parameters are collected. With the collected information, explain why the data is collected (what fault/problems the technicians are looking for) and then, if you believe there is a short-fall (probably there will be!), recommend additional parameters/readings and actions that are required to cover the short fall.
Part 3: Outcomes of condition monitoring work being carried out 10 Marks
From the monitoring that is occurring, briefly describe how the information is integrated into a CMMS and/or database then used by maintenance to achieve a corrective outcome. Include a flow diagram detailing the information flow. If some or all of the results from the condition monitoring program do not seem to be used, what changes in management, personnel or systems are required to fully utilise the information being produced.
Part 4: Justification for program 10 Marks
How does your company justify the ongoing use of the condition monitoring service that they are receiving now, and what additional information would you include to improve the ongoing justification (e.g. maintenance history, return on investment etc.)? Ensure you detail the data (e.g. trend information) that supports your description.
If the company appears to have no justification currently available, devise your own ongoing justification for the service and present an example of this justification/s to support your answer. Again ensure you detail the supporting information and/or assumptions.
