Custom Guidance for Equipment Troubleshooting: What is Equifactor®?

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- System Improvements Inc. is pleased to share the recently remastered 2-Day Equifactor® Equipment Troubleshooting & TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis Course and the new Equifactor® book.

The course comprises the complete package, as students receive the course, the new book, and the workbook.

The Equifactor® Techniques are based on the work of noted equipment reliability expert Heinz Bloch.

In the two-day Equifactor® course, participants learn to use Equifactor® to troubleshoot equipment issues and what is leading to failures. In addition, they learn to use the TapRooT® System to organize the information collected, identify the causal factors of the failure, and find the fixable root causes of the failure. Finally, they learn to develop effective fixes to stop future equipment failures.

Equifactor® tools used to solve problems include: 

    --  Equifactor® Troubleshooting Tables - a systematic guide to
        troubleshooting common equipment problems.
    --  SnapCharT® Diagram - visualize and organize the information you collect
        to make what happened understandable.
    --  Root Cause Tree® Diagram and Dictionary - find the real, fixable root
        causes of human performance and equipment issues.
    --  Corrective Action Helper® Module - provides suggested corrective
        actions to help you develop effective fixes.
    --  Safeguard Analysis - helps define Causal Factors and develop effective
        corrective actions.
    --  Change Analysis - collect and understand information about problems
        caused by changes or differences in system, equipment, or people.

The tools can be used by maintenance personnel, equipment reliability specialists, maintenance managers, or investigators who don't have an extensive understanding of equipment engineering.

In addition, the Equifactor® Techniques can be used to develop proactive equipment performance improvement initiatives and equipment troubleshooting procedures.

Now is a great opportunity to get maintenance personnel, equipment operators, and supervisors trained to increase equipment reliability within your organization.
