Inspections, which provides to the tradesman/technician the
asset details and maintenance work details.
• The inspection person can respond to each prompted task by
using a Bar-code Reader or keying into the data-logger
numbered codes from fault or response lists.
• Some data loggers can be fitted with measurement probes for
temperature, pressure, vibration levels or electrical
measurements.
• At the conclusion of a day of inspection activities the information
can be transmitted to the main Computerised Maintenance
Management System by direct line, radio or telephone.
• Data loggers may also be used in conjunction with Global
Positioning Systems (GPS), which for widely distributed assets
(roads, power poles, etc), or for mobile assets (long distance
haulage vehicles, etc), may be a very useful facility. It allows
accurate location of the point at which maintenance is being
performed or the point at which a fault is being reported.
T h e re are also Palm devices that link to Geographic Inform a t i o n
Systems (GIS) and provide GIS displays/maps.
• Plant operators may use Machine or Wall Mounted Data
Loggers to improve the quality of data, and the speed of data
collection ( ie for Downtime data collection).
• Data loggers with bar-code reading facilities as a means of used
by the tradesman as a means of recording his arrival at a
particular asset and linking that asset to a maintenance activity.
Part 2
We now have the greatest sytems but
where are the great results?
Even with modern CMMS and EAM’s we still find that there are
implementation failures or perhaps that the system’s impressive range
of functions are under utilized (the expensive electronic filing cabinet).
These improved CMMS/EAM systems, whilst perhaps helping to
c reate satisfactory perf o rmance in managing maintenance, do not
necessarily lead to your organisation becoming amongst the ‘Best’ of
maintenance organisations. What leads to dissatisfaction, satisfaction
or success in managing maintenance?
Motivational Theory
IntelaTrac running on Symbol hand held
Let us examine one of the better known theories on motivation,
H e rz b e rg ’s Motivation and Hygiene Theory 4 , using Figure 2a and 2b.
H e rt z b e rg considered that the factors shown in Figure 2a
Achievement, Recognition, Work Itself, Responsibility, Advancement
and Growth are the true motivators.
Factors shown in Figure 2b are the Hygiene factors which if not up
to a certain level or standard cause significant dissatisfaction. Once
