MACHINE UPTIME
Products &
Services
TVC provides more than vibration monitoring.
It's about maximizing your machine uptime
and that hits right at the bottom line.
We serve all markets in the USA and the
world.
TVC
will support your efforts with our growing
constellation of companies. The
synergy of our people, products, and
services enables TVC to work with you to
maximize your machinery uptime,
one machine at a time, or on multi-machine
projects. Unlike less objective maintenance
philosophies, MACHINE UPTIME
brings facility operations and
maintenance together for the shared goal of
optimizing machine uptime. Uptime is
quantifiable and relates directly to your
bottom line. Some say, it's what asset
management is all about.
Our Base
Is Vibration Monitoring
Monitoring
the vibration of machinery, well done,
is fundamental to improving & sustaining
machine reliability. We've done that
well for many years, but it's far from the
only factor.
Improving
Machinery Reliability
The
Vibration Consortium is gathering a
constellation of companies, each with a
proven track record in the various products
& services necessary to make
continuing improvement in the reliability of
your machines. That's essential to
maximize your machine's uptime
Continual
Reliability Improvement
For new
machines, reliability of machinery
starts from the specification and bid
evaluation process. The differences
from one vendor's machine to another are
judged based not solely on price but on
long-term objectives and the likely-hood of
meeting company goals for machine
productivity. You may choose to pay a higher
price to get more value.
For
existing machines, a baseline is
established, and goals set with necessary
compromises due to machine condition at that
point.
For
rebuilding machinery, consider adopting
the same stringent evaluation process as you
have for new machines.

Tearing Down Some Walls
Why is maximizing uptime of
process machinery catching the imagination of
industry experts?
Because there is great value
in developing the process to get the full value of
the investment in your machinery. This shows
up in the bottom line and managers love it.
It addresses some industry
wide needed reforms. One example:
operations and maintenance seem to work at odds with
each other in too many organizations with apparent
walls between them.
A noted consultant, Heinz
Bloch, told a story during a speech at a Vibration
Institute meeting in Houston about five years ago.
He said a Plant Manager at a large plant in the area
called the Operations and Maintenance Managers into
his office. He announced they would be
trading jobs sometime in the next six months and
would say no more.
Mr. Bloch said that the
cooperation, communications, & attitudes
improved almost immediately; later, even some budget
sharing.
Looking around, I saw all
present with big grins and shaking heads in a silent
yes vote. Everyone!
I asked permission
to retell the story. He said "Certainly. It
needs to be told".
And I did, from Houston to
Saudi Arabia, to Yokahama. The reaction to the
story is universal. The walls are everywhere.
What really impresses me about
the story: not one person, out of over a thousand,
has ever asked what happened when or even if they
switched jobs. NOT ONE!
At The Vibration Consortium,
we want to help tear down those walls.
