CLEARING OUT THE DATA CLUTTER: HOW WELL-MAINTAINED DATA CAN ADD VALUE TO YOUR RELIABILITY PROGRAM

摘要

We have all heard the phrase, "Good data in, good data out. Bad data in, bad data out." While this concept is well known in theory, there is often a large amount of focus spent on acquiring the latest software and participating in the latest reliability trends, without ensuring that the basic data managed in our facilities is of good quality. In reality, data management is an integral part of maintaining efficient business processes. Properly maintained data can enable facilities to make better-informed business decisions, leading to optimized maintenance costs, improved safety, and greater compliance. On the other hand, bad data causes severe inefficiencies, a false sense of confidence in facility reliability, and an inability to accurately forecast a facility's operational budgets.
