Better Equipment Troubleshooting: “I wish I had this when I was in the Nuclear Navy.”
I was in the Nuclear Navy from 1978 to 1985. And I was the Main Propulsion Assistant on the USS Long Beach (CGN-9). Of course, we didn’t have computers, laptops, or i-Pads back then. Therefore, there was no way I could have had the computerized Equifactor® Troubleshooting Tables that are built into the TapRooT® Software. But even the paper-based tables in Book 5: Using Equifactor® Troubleshooting Tools and TapRooT® Root Cause Analysis to Improve Equipment Reliability would have been great.
and Corrective Action Helper® Guide
Why Would Equifactor® Be So Helpful?
First, the troubleshooting tables take the knowledge of equipment expert Heinz Bloch and put them in an easily usable form. I could have really used those tables (or had my guys use them) when troubleshooting pump, turbine, bearing, and compressor problems.
Second, Eqquifactor® provides a systematic troubleshooting process that everyone can understand. That’s a common point to discuss issues and make troubleshooting plans/procedures.
Third, finding the real root causes of equipment issues would have been a big step forward – especially when we were confronting human errors. I didn’t have any training on understanding human errors so discipline, training, and procedures seemed like the only corrective actions for human errors.
