Definitions Reliability

The probability of a component/system/process to pits required function, without failure, under stated cofor a specified period of time

Reliability EngineeringThe strategic task of predicting and avoiding failures t

analysis.Quantification of Reliability Issues done, considering:

Why? How? and How often? these failures occur

The cost of failures

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) A reliability technique used to identify the factors fo Root causes identified and addressed in a systema

manner Investigation aimed at fact finding, not fault finding Time is critical: The earlier the investigations starts

more the chances of minute details being captured

Benefits Increased productivity Improved quality Reduced costs Elimination of accidents and environmental releases

Reliability Incident Reporting

This system is developed to capture reliability rincidents that either cause, or have a potential causing loss or recurring high maintenance cos

Purpose: Conclusions and responsibility to prerecurrence is documented, and follow up done systematic manner

What Triggers a Reliability Re Failures related to “Safety Critical” Equipment 

Ammonia Leakage from a vessel or machine Loss or potential of production loss

Malfunctioning of Business Critical Machines and/or Stationequipment

Repeated failures resulting in high maintenance

Mechanical Seal failures Repeated failures

Weld failures and frequent leakages

MTBF/ Availability on a decreasing trend Compressor Valve Failures

Motor burn outs

Qualitative Threshold Protoco Determines what is a Reliability Incident

Uses a Consequence- Frequency matrix to specify severeliability incidents Consequence

C1 Low Hazard Operation (LHO) C2 High Hazard Process (HHP) or no load reduction C3 Business Critical (BC) or 10% load reduction

C4 Safety Critical or 50% load reduction Frequency F1 Once in ≤ 4 years or > 3 years  F2 Once in ≤ 3 years  F3 Once in ≤ 2 years  F4 Once in ≤ 1 year
