Using SPC Methods to Trigger Preventative Maintenance

Reliable Plant Online recently reprised an earlier article, Why Trending is important to PdM. The author, Mark Latino, presented a case study which described how a maintenance technician used data trending to prove that a machine needed preventative maintenance intervention.

We have looked at carrying this process a step further using SPC to provide signal alerts for preventative maintenance. The presentation was, “Integrating Preventative Maintenance Into HACCP” , and an article based on the presentation is available as:  Using SPC methods to trigger preventative maintenance and prevent CCP violations .
