Below is a list of things Andy Page and I have seen and heard over the years that might make you laugh but should make us cry when it comes to having a solid reliability program.
If you think change management has something to do with the vending machines in the break room ...you might not have a program
If you think change management means always having a roll of quarters in your desk...you might not have a program
If your alignment standard contains the words flashlight and straight edge...you might not have a program
If your scheduling meeting usually end with the phrase “I guess we’ll just see about that”...you might not have a program
If your job plans can all fit on 1 side of 1 piece of paper...you might not have a program
If the phrases inner race and outer race remind you call your bookie...
If the phrase ball pass frequency just makes you giggle uncontrollably...
If your IR electrical program is administered by your insurance provider...
If you can name all of the machines on your oil sampling route...
If every time the 6 Sigma guys talk about the 16 Toll Gates to improvement and you wonder why they just didn’t take the back roads...
If you think precision maintenance means having a complete set of hammers with you at all times...
If you think torque wrenches are only for the boys of NASCAR...
If your balance standard involves the use of a nickel or a small glass of water...
If you measure your lubrication quantities in tubes…
If your idea of contamination control has something to do with keeping the rats out of the break room…

If you think that every mechanic should have his own key to the storeroom…
If you think a dial indicator is a new option on your son’s cell phone...
If your idea of a shim pack includes the cardboard box the pump came in ...
If your idea of a battery tester includes the use of the tip of your tongue..
If you think eddy currents are something you have to avoid at the beach...
If your most advance machine analysis tool is a screwdriver held against your ear...
If your torque standard involves Bubba and a cheater bar...
If your X-ray equipment was ordered from the back of a comic book...
If your machine base grouting procedure includes the use of bubble gum and chap stick...
If your maintenance reference library includes only two service catalogs, one handbook and yesterdays paper...
If your Root Cause Analysis process includes a step for dumpster diving...
If your required PPE includes a bubble wrap suit...
If your folks believe that TPM stands for Totally Painted Machines...
If you repair the same equipment so often you have a special cart...
If your ultra sensitive leak detection system involves an funnel held up to Eddie's ear...
If your Root Cause Analysis findings include “fire the SOB”...
If your idea of a bearing heater is a rose bud…
If your idea of proper bearing installation involves a hammer and a chisel…
If your lubrication guy still believes that more is better…
If the closest thing to RCM you have is Rapid Corrective Maintenance...
Hope you enjoyed those and if you can, take a minute and add a few that you have heard or seen at your site.
