critical success factors and emerging issues and trends in engineering
critical success factors and emerging issues and trends in engineering
(OP)
I am doing some research on the general engineering and manufacturing industry, with a particular interest in jobbing and foundry operations. I am trying to determine critical success factors relating to this industry and emerging issues and trends facing companies.
Where could I source such information, particularly statistics? Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks

The Principles and Practices of Advanced Environmentally Responsible Applied TRIBOLOGY "PREDICTIVE" Maintenance P2 Engineering Technology were set forth and established by Mr. Peter Jost who wrote a landmark study in "1966" of the effect of friction, lubrication and wear on the Gross National Product of Great Britain
Jost defined TRIBOLOGY as, "the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion, and the practices related thereto."
TRIBOLOGY Affects:
the design and manufacture of any surface where two surfaces interact.
the use of materials where solid materials interact.
the interaction of wear surfaces with lubricants.
the reduction of friction and wear.
Some Costly and Time-Intensive Maintenance Procedures
REDUCE - Equipment Down or Out of Service Time
REDUCE - Lubricant Inventory Requirements
ELIMINATE - Premature Equipment Failures
REDUCE - Energy and Fuel Consumption
REDUCE - Hazardous Waste Lubricants
STREAMLINE - Maintenance Protocols
REDUCE - Waste Disposal Expenses
MAXIMIZE - Equipment Service Life
EXTEND - Lubricant Drain Intervals
REDUCE - Man Hour Requirements
REDUCE - Capital Expenditures
INCREASE - Production
Applied TRIBOLOGY Affects:
Machine EFFICIENCY
Machine RELIABILITY
Machine MAINTAINABILITY
