Profile In Excellence
Johns Manville
The Johns Manville (JM) Plant
in McPherson,
Kansas was constructed in 1974.
The facility manufactures fiberglass building insulation
which is sold in the commercial, residential, and retail
markets. The facility
currently encompasses approximately 17 acres under roof and is
set in 160 acres of rural area.
The team has
done an excellent job developing a “Criticality Matrix” which is
the key driver for both RCM and PM Optimization.
|
Program Highlights:
90% of critical
equipment is monitored. The thermography routes include all motor
control centers, disconnects, electrical control cabinets and high
voltage distribution. Detailed histories of each inspection are logged
and kept for further analysis such as trending, histograms, etc.
Since the inception of the PdM and Infrared program on March 2004, the
plant’s uptime performance has increased substantially. Safety
performance at the facility has increased due to the elimination of a
wide range of threats and problems.
The McPherson infrared
program has made a rapid rise to a high quality program in a short time.
