AMP Asset Maintenance & Reliability Flashcards

Which maintenance strategy involves performing repairs only after equipment has failed?

Answer: Reactive maintenance

Reactive maintenance (also called run-to-failure) is performed only after an asset breaks down or fails.

What does OEE stand for in asset reliability management?

Answer: Overall Equipment Effectiveness

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) measures availability, performance, and quality to assess how effectively manufacturing equipment is utilized.

Predictive maintenance relies primarily on which type of data?

Answer: Real-time condition monitoring data

Predictive maintenance uses real-time condition monitoring data (vibration, temperature, oil analysis) to predict failures before they occur.

Which reliability metric represents the average time between successive failures of a repairable asset?

Answer: MTBF

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) measures the average operating time between failures for a repairable asset.

Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) focuses primarily on:

Answer: Ensuring safety and function at minimum cost

RCM is a systematic process to determine what must be done to ensure that assets continue to fulfill their intended functions safely and cost-effectively.

A P-F curve in asset management describes the interval between:

Answer: Potential failure and functional failure

The P-F curve illustrates the time between a detectable potential failure (P) and the actual functional failure (F), which defines the window for intervention.
