2. Level 1 course
1. Problem & Case Studies
2. Strategies
3. Principles - Flow, Oscillation, Wear
4. Sensing system behavior & intentions
5. Techniques for improvement
6. Dynamic Plan -- Workshop
3. Definition of ACM
Responses aimed at modulating system
behavior of engineered systems for anti-fragility
to make time &resources available for
productive use.
Goal: Life style management
4. Why ACM?
More than 68% failures in a manufacturing
system are random in nature.
On average 26 days are used in recovering
overheads. Only 4 days to make profits.
In a manufacturing system as high as 40% of
the total production cost goes in maintenance
5. Case studies
1. Consolidated Fibres -- Zero failure - anti-
fragile
2. Vikram Cement -- Zero failure - anti-fragile
3. Tata Metaliks -- Zero failure - anti-fragile
4. Tata Metaliks Kubota Pipes -- Zero failure -
anti-fragile
5. Gujarat Cement Works -- Zero failure - anti-
fragile
6. Maintenance Strategies
1. Breakdown -- react to surface events -
fragile
2. Preventive -- effort to bring order & control -
fragility
3. Condition Based -- monitor & respond --
fragility reduced but not eliminated
7. Availability Centered Maintenance
Combine all 4 strategies for anti-fragility to
optimize cost & energy to improve productivity
through increased availability of time &
resources
What can be achieved?
Failures come down by 99%
8. Principles of ACM
1. Oscillations
2. Wear
3. Flow
The underlying principle is entropy
9. Sensing System Behavior
1. History.
2. Interdependent Interactions - evidence
based
3. Understanding Relationships, Patterns, No-
patterns, Causes
