摘要:
A system and method is provided for determining the variability induced on a process output. The method includes the analysis of input variable values to determine the total variability. A series of processes may be analyzed and ranked so that a process owner may gain an understanding of how a target process performs relative to the processes of other process owners. The method includes the generation of graphical process comparisons and advice regarding asset performance. The method also includes the estimation of cost impacts due to changes in induced variability.

A system and method is described herein that includes a software-based functionality to assess the relationship between reliability, operational, maintenance and plant betterment activities and to determine the frontier of efficient spending and other measures of performance to achieve a level of reliability that is based on data from units of similar design and performance.
摘要:
A method of rebuilding fuel injection pumps which have become inoperative due to excessive wear or other damage. Damaged surfaces of parts of the fuel distribution assembly, e.g., head and rotor assemblies used in rotary distributor type diesel fuel injection pumps, as well as plunger and barrel assemblies of inline diesel injection distributor pumps, are restored by a method involving disassembling of the distributor assemblies, inspecting and categorizing of damaged surface areas, machining of the parts to return them to their proper degree of roundness and surface finish with selected areas of the rotor or plunger being plated with a hard material such as chrome.
