standardizes on EXAKT for CBM


Over the past two years the Dept. de Manteniemento at Cerrejón tested OMDEC's CBM decision software, EXAKT. They compared its recommendations with those of other CBM systems, such as ICM. Their conclusion - that EXAKT alone provides predictive capability. Using the software, Cerrejón reliability engineers generated predictions in multiple time windows over a broad spectrum of failure modes. They checked each remaining useful life (RUL) prediction against reality as reported in the Ellipse maintenance system. The results were conclusive. Consequently, OMDEC was called back, this November, to train more Cerrejón engineers in the principles and practice of EXAKT optimized CBM decision making.

Recognizing the essential work order link to the reliability knowledge base, the Ellipse system was reconfigured to accommodate OMDEC's REWOP living RCM process implemented on BI-Cycle. Murray Wiseman, OMDEC's VP of technology stated, "Cerrejón has taken the lead in evidence based maintenance decision making. As early adopters they will undoubtedly show the maintenance world that living RCM, first proposed three decades ago by Nowlan and Heap, is the way to go. Stay tuned for more news on this exciting development in Colombia."
