O&M funding keep declining O&M Costs on rise◦ Unreliable assets/systems – more failures◦ More systems being added w/o additional funding◦ Our customers wants more systems in readiness
state – as & when needed to meet their needs◦ Lack of Qualified operators and maintainers
( budget reduction and difficult to get)◦ System are being used over its design life 25 years Vs 50 + years ( Avg. life of DoD system is 43 years)
There is need to have more reliable assets with less O&M costs !

The only way to get to this valve is to build scaffolding or with a lift. Notice the grade beneath the valve is sloped and graveled making the setup more rigorous. Both of these options take time and turns a 1 hour job into an all day job with additional manpower.
When this valve goes down, so does testing.

Each Engineer has a Dual Role as not only a PdM Technology Lead but also as a Plant Lead PdM Engineer◦ Lead Engineers Responsible for overseeing all of the data collection methods and making
recommendations based on final data analysis to system owners. Also, tracking efforts after recommendations are made until resolution.
◦ Craft / Technician (collect data) Responsible for collecting specific types of data using proper collection
techniques and providing a “first level” analysis of data collected to the lead CBM engineer.

Maintainability is another function, designer need to look when selecting components.
This answers questions like:
“If this component (i.e. pump) fails, how long will it take to restore it’s function?”
Questions for Maintainability:
- How it can fail? (Failure Mode)
- Are parts available? (if so, can/should we stock them?)
- What would be total downtime & cost?
- Do we have people trained to repair it ?
- Do we need special tools/documentation to repair it?

AEDCers earn maintenance and reliability professional certification
ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, TENN. – Fourteen ATA employees became Certified
Maintenance and Reliability Professionals (CMRP) after passing the two-hour certification
exam at UTSI.
Mr. Larry Cote, vice chairman for the Society of Maintenance and Reliability
Professionals (SMRP) presented the certifications Aug. 30 at the Engine Test Facility
Conference room. He also presented a plaque to Ramesh Gulati, Reliability and
Engineering Branch manager, recognizing AEDC and ATA for sustaining membership and
support.
Following an extensive certification program developed by the SMRP and conducted by
ATA Facilities and Systems Operations Maintenance department, Des Anderson, Brian
Bennett, Walt Bishop, Tom Carpenter, Scott Darlington, Jennifer Daugherty, David Hurst,
Jim Lawson, Tim Layton, Christopher Mears, Cory Rice, Bob Schwer, Curt Walter and Leon
Yoder successfully completed requirements for the certification.
“A certified work force ensures and validates appropriate experience and skills are
available for cost effectively improving plant reliability and availability,” Mr. Gulati “The
Society for Maintenance and Reliability Professionals identified a critical skill and knowledge
set for meeting National Organization for Competency Assurance standards and developed
the examination and certification program.
There are five key components covered in the examination: work management,
equipment reliability, manufacturing processes reliability, people skills and business
