Systems Reliability Services

RJ Lee Group delivers comprehensive information management solutions by creating software tools to support the customized course of action developed to improve the reliability of engineered systems.

Many organizations are able to generate data in support of their mechanical and electromechanical engineered systems, but either have no immediate access to that data or the process to retrieve it is too complicated. Collecting and retrieving data that are segregated or use conflicting formats and include such diverse information as manufacture and installation data, performance data, routine maintenance data and environmental data can be problematic. When laboratory data such as oil analysis, wear analysis, failure analysis and metallographic studies that include images are incorporated as well, it often becomes prohibitive.

Our Approach

We deliver the data directly from the source without costly database merges or delays in data receipt. Our experts combine the disconnected data, process the divergent data, and analyze them to create the customized tools used to build the expert solution. The dissimilar data flows have transformed into useful information that becomes the basis for a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) program, a predictive maintenance (PdM) or preventive maintenance (PM) schedule or as a means of determining remaining service life. We provide the unified view of data and the decision-support tools that empower engineers, maintenance staff, logisticians and scientists to chart the course of action best suited to their situation.

Implementing reliability maintenance programs or determining predictive and preventive maintenance schedules based on solid data all have a direct impact on the bottom line. RJ Lee Group leverages the expertise of its scientists and information management experts to assist our clients in determining that impact by:

• Researching and developing a client-customized information management system solution;
• Creating software tools clients can use to make decisions that support the system solution;
• Offering complementary comprehensive laboratory services for the engineered system life cycle process, including:
  • Materials selection – from raw materials to component parts to alternate materials;
  • Metallurgical evaluations to recommend materials and predict reliability and life expectancy;
  • Defect and failure analysis to understand what happened and how to prevent it in the future;
  • Oil analysis as part of a predictive maintenance program to determine oil cleanliness, water content, etc.
