The 5 Zero-Breakdown Countermeasures will not work well if they are introduced in a rush or if more than one is implemented at a time. The best approach is to introduce them progressively in four phases. The main thrusts of the four phases, outlined in Table “The 4 Phases to…

The fastest way to achieve zero breakdowns is to implement all five countermeasures in order to identify and deal with every latent problem.

The approach to zero failures incorporates the following seven concepts, each of which is described below: Phase 1 – Eliminate forced deteriorationPhase 2 – Extend lifetimes through corrective maintenancePhase 3 – Monitor and Control deteriorationPhase 4 – Carry out predictive maintenance (1) Eliminate forced deterioration 1 Classify failures It is…

Breakdowns often show warning signs before they actually happen.
