How to Think Like a Machinery Reliability Professional

Figure 1.1 Managing the risk associated with a site’s process machinery is a key role of a machinery reliability engineer.

An important role of a machinery reliability professional is to evaluate reliability performance of site machinery and provide clear feedback and recommendations to the owners to ensure process reliability goals are met (Figure 1.1). My aim here is to give the reader a sense of how machinery reliability professionals approach the assessment of site assets. By briefly covering the key machinery factors used in my evaluations, I hope to shine a light on the evaluation process. My process requires that each machine’s criticality, history, and current site safeguards be carefully reviewed and evaluated. Only when this process has been completed can a machinery reliability engineer provide useful feedback that will hopefully have a positive impact on the site’s overall reliability.
