ARE YOUR FEMI KPI'S GETTING OLD AND STALE

摘要

What are your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) (a.k.a. metrics) for your Fixed Equipment Mechanical Integrity (FEMI) program(1)? Does your KPI list consist primarily of the tired old list of overdue inspections that are successfully tracking zeros month after month, year after year? Perhaps it's time to freshen it up. You've probably heard that old saying that "you can't improve what you don't measure." It's half true, since we of course make a lot of improvements in our business that are not directly related to measurements--but that's a topic for another day. Let's assume for the moment that it's true and that we need to make improvements in our FEMI program by having the best set of FEMI KPIs possible. Do you have an effective set of comprehensive FEMI KPIs at your site? Are you convinced that your diverse set of FEMI KPIs has actually resulted in continuing improvement in your FEMI program? If not, here are some FEMI KPIs that you might consider tracking and trending in order to monitor your progress.
