What is Reliability Engineering?

The emerging world economy is escalating the demand to improve the

performance of products and systems while at the same time, reducing

their cost.

The requirement to minimize the probability of failures, whether those failures

increase costs or threaten public safety, is also placing emphasis on reliability.

The body of knowledge that has been developed for analysing such failures and

minimizing their occurrence cuts across virtually all engineering disciplines and

spheres.

In the broadest sense, reliability is associated with dependability, with successful

operation and with the absence of breakdowns or failures.

What is RCM???

Reliability Centred Maintenance is a zero-based structured PROCESS used

to identify the failure management strategies required to ensure an asset

meets its mission requirements in its OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT in

the most SAFE and COST EFFECTIVE manner.

Zero-Based means that each RCM analysis is carried out assuming that no proactive maintenance is being

performed. Failure modes and effects are written assuming that nothing is being done to predict or prevent

the failure mode.

Quality and Reliability

Quality

The totality of features and characteristics of a product or services that

bear on its ability to satisfy given needs.

High Quality (two criteria must be satisfied)

Performance standards must be highly optimised to the user’s requirements

The performance standards must be robust.

Performance Variability

Three main causes of performance variability:

Variability or defects in the manufacturing process

Variability in the operating environment

Deterioration resulting from wear or ageing

Note: Quality implies performance optimization and cost minimization

Deep Groove Ball Bearing Failure Distribution (NASA)

The figure shows the failure distribution of a group of thirty identical 6309 deep groove ball bearings installed

on bearing life test machines and run to failure, using standard test procedures.

The X-axis identifies the individual bearing being tested while the Y-axis is the number of revolutions

achieved prior to fatigue failure of the individual bearing.

The wide variation in bearing life precludes the use of any effective time-based maintenance strategy

Preventive Maintenance/On Condition Tasks

Preventive Maintenance (PM)

Scheduled restoration and scheduled discard entails remanufacturing a

component or overhauling at or before a specified age, regardless of its condition

at the time.

On Condition Tasks

Most failures give warnings (potential failures) which are defined as identifiable

physical conditions which indicate that a functional fault is about to occur or is in

the process of occurring.

Origins of RCM in Civil Aviation

MSG-1: 1968 - Maintenance Evaluation and Programme Development

Prepared by the 747 Maintenance Steering Group and published in 1968.

MSG-2: 1970 - Airline/Manufacturer’s Maintenance Programme Planning

Document

Improvements to MSG-1 led to the development of MSG-2.

MSG-3: 1978 - Operator/Manufacturer’s Scheduled Maintenance

Development

In the mid-70’s, the DOD was interested in learning how maintenance plans were

being developed within the commercial airline industry.

In 1976, DOD commissioned United Airlines (UAL) to write a report which detailed

their process.

Stanley Nowlan and Howard Heap wrote Reliability Centred Maintenance

which was published in 1978.

MSG-3 continues to be used within the airline industry today but is still intended

to develop a maintenance program for prior to service aircraft.

Changing Principles of Maintenance Management

32

“Maintenance is about preserving

physical assets”

“Routine maintenance is about

preventing failures”

“The primary objective of the

maintenance function is to optimise

plant availability at minimum cost”

“Most equipment becomes more

likely to fail as it gets older”

Maintenance is about preserving the

functions of assets

Maintenance affects all aspects of business effectiveness and risk – safety, environment and energy efficiency, quality– as well as availability and cost.

Most failures are not more likely to occur as equipment gets older

Routine maintenance is about avoiding, reducing or eliminating the consequences of failures

Changing Practices of Maintenance Management

33

“Comprehensive data about failure

rates must be available before it is

possible to develop a really successful

maintenance program”

“Equipment manufacturers are in the

best position to develop maintenance

programs for new assets”

“The quickest and surest way to

improve the performance of an existing

unreliable asset is to upgrade the

design”

“Generic maintenance policies can be

developed for most types of physical

asset”

Decisions about the management of equipment failures will nearly always have to be made with inadequate data about failure rates

It is nearly always more cost-effective to try to improve the performance of an unreliable asset by improving the way it is operated and maintained.

Generic policies should only apply to identical assets with identical operation, functions and desired performance

Equipment manufacturers can only play a limited (but still important) role in developing maintenance programs

Critical Equipment – a Matter of (International) Law

10 MAINTENANCE OF THE SHIP AND EQUIPMENT (ISM Code)

10.1 The Company should establish procedures to ensure that the ship is maintained in

conformity with the provisions of the relevant rules and regulations and with any

additional requirements which may be established by the Company.

10.2 In meeting these requirements the Company should ensure that:

1. inspections are held at appropriate intervals;

2. any non-conformity is reported with its possible cause, if known;

3. appropriate corrective action is taken; and

4. records of these activities are maintained.

10.3 The Company should identify equipment and technical systems the sudden

operational failure of which may result in hazardous situations. The SMS should

provide for specific measures aimed at promoting the reliability of such equipment

or systems. These measures should include the regular testing of stand-by arrangements

and equipment or technical systems that are not in continuous use.

10.4 The inspections mentioned in 10.2 as well as the measures referred to in 10.3

should be integrated in the ship's operational maintenance routine.

Machinery Damages – Most Prevalent Claim Type

Lloyds List, Thursday 20 May 2004, 00:00

Despite the improved casualty picture, underwriters remain very concerned about

attritional losses, particularly resulting from machinery damage.

Machinery-related claims are still the single most frequent claim type, with some

markets such as Norway recording about 40% of the total number.

For instance, the loss of main propulsion, steering or electrical power at a critical

time in a narrow fairway may result in a collision.

In the Salvage Association’s annual report earlier this year the Piraeus office

reported: “Machinery damages continue to increase and as the majority of these

are on medium- or high-speed engines there is usually the necessity to fit a new

crankshaft, which is not only expensive for the underwriter but also keeps the

ship out of service for an extended period.”

Elsewhere in casualty experience structural failures, though reduced in number,

are still a big problem, often resulting in a total loss or very expensive repairs.

“Shocking Failures of New Engines”

Lloyds List, Friday 11 July 2008, 00:00, by Michael Grey

A “SHOCKING” number of damages to engines, often aboard new ships, indicate

that machinery systems are not becoming more reliable, the president of the

Society of Consulting Marine Engineers and Ship Surveyors has complained.

Speaking in London, John Lillie suggested that breakdowns are a serious problem

even with ships of less than five years old. Even if the machinery performs well

when new, it will be unlikely to survive the ship changing hands, and the eventual

“ownership spiral” as the vessel is sold on.

Casualty statistics indicate that at over 40%, machinery damage is the largest

category of incidents, although only represents only 19% of the cost of claims.

He had asked 50 surveyors around the world to send him details of damages they

had attended during a two-month period.

The “horrendous” returns revealed 127 cases, involving products of all major

manufacturers. Average costs of main engine repairs was $500,000, while for

auxiliaries it was $300,000. Turbochargers and crankshafts were causing concern,

and high claims.

Aircraft Maintenance - Nowlan and Heap, December 1978

“In the case of commercial aircraft, continuous evolution of the design

requirements promulgated by airworthiness authorities and the feed

back of hardware information to equipment designers by operating

organizations have led to increasing capability of the equipment for safe

and reliable operation. Thus most modern aircraft enter service with

design features for certain items that allow easy identification of

by some form of redundancy or by backup devices that reduce the

consequences of failure to a less serious level”

Challenges for Marine Maintenance

Traditional “fix when broken” approach.

Maintenance in the operational phase is characterised by calendar based

prescriptive rules

Maintenance planning not considered at the design stage

Lack of standardised designs

Lack of redundancy of safety critical equipment (e.g. single main propulsion

system).

One year warranty period for large assets and no further obligation from the

designer or manufacturer.

Running hour basis typically used by equipment suppliers

Lack of industry-wide reliability data so far.

Maintenance budgets are often the first operational costs to be cut when freight

rates decrease.

Example - “Optimizing Maintenance in a Maritime Environment”

MAINTWORLD, 2013: A study about optimizing maintenance in a

maritime environment investigated the total operating costs of a fleet of

vessels. This fleet of the Rijksrederij, the Netherlands state owned

company consists of about 125 vessels.

Propulsion gearbox found critical in relation to the main function of the vessel.

Breakdown occurred prior to OEM recommended 20,000 hour overhaul.

Condition-based monitoring introduced with vibration monitoring of bearings, oil

analysis for wear particles and visual inspection of gears and seals. 30%

reduction in maintenance costs and increased vessel availability.

Hurdles to Full Implementation of RCM in the Marine Industry

Lack and portability of failure data

Basic equipment condition cannot be taken for granted

Shipboard personnel are rarely trained in maintenance management or statistical

risk assessment techniques

Shipboard personnel are operators as well as maintainers

Ships operate in isolation from repair and spares facilities

Lack of “adequate” redundancy

Prescriptive requirements from Flag and Class

Original Equipment Manufacturer’s guarantee period (and insurance)

Limited application of FMEA

Every ship is different (operating profile, operating conditions)

Frequent crew changes

Changes Required to Embrace RCM

Strong knowledge base about ship functions, systems and components (i.e. top

down approach) needed.

Structured and collaborative design phase where the maintainability of the asset

is taken into account is needed.

Better training requirements for operators are needed.

Current competences will not be sufficient to deal with the complexity of systems.

Introduction of more complex systems necessitates increased attention to the

effects arising from interacting and interdependent components.

Developments in maritime data transfer offer the potential for increased onshore

support for maintenance activities.

The correct adoption of new technologies generally requires big changes to

maritime management culture.

Conclusions

Benefits of RCM:

– Choose the right maintenance strategy for the right equipment

– Concentrate effort for the greatest return

– Safer, smarter and greener operations

Choosing a methodology carefully (and applying consistently) is critical:

– What it is implicit in failure data / service history?

– What equipment/component level of detail?

– Redundancy design intention?

– Functional failures vs. failure modes vs. failure effects?
