Why do I need Vibration Analysis?
(transcript)
 
 Alan M. Richardson, President

Preventive Vibration Analysis Corporation

 

 

Well to semi quote Forrest Gump : “ STUFF happens.

 

Murphy’s Law basically says that the worst possible failure will happen at the worst possible time.

 

Maintenance and Engineering Managers for years have sought out ways to find problems early enough, so that they can implement fixes before they shut you down. 

 

What they haven’t always been able to see is developing issues that if known about, could be corrected before a crisis. No one likes a crisis and emergency repairs always cost more than a planned repair on a straight time basis.

 

How can Vibration Analysis help you and your company?

 

Well Vibration Analysis is like radar to an airplane. If you can see a flock of geese coming, you can avoid them. If not, you take a hit, end up in the Hudson River and have a bad hair day!

 

The question really comes down to how much your facility can tolerate downtime from a lost production standpoint or a higher maintenance cost. History has shown that early detection of a maintenance issue allows corrective action in a timely manner at lower costs than a catastrophic failure  … where a minor situation evolved into a weld up.

 

How much is a lost shift of production worth? How much does it cost a maintenance crew to replace an air freighted pump on overtime?

 

How much would it be worth to find these escalating problems early enough to be able to correct the situation with a shot of grease, a re-alignment or a coupling replacement?

 

It was reported in a maintenance conference that the Nashville Water Department saved over a million dollars thru cost avoidance attributed entirely to their vibration analysis program.

 

How much can you save?

 

Ask a qualified Vibration Analyst how they can help you.
