01Reliability strategy
RCM analysis
Define the asset boundary, assemble approved source material, develop functions and failure logic, then route recommendations through engineering review.

Start with the workflow.
Keep people accountable.
Practical orientation for teams preparing an AndonEAM implementation—from source evidence and asset context to engineering review and controlled execution.
Core workflows
One governed loop, three areas of work
Each workflow should begin with traceable inputs and end with an accountable human decision. The exact sequence is configured around the operating context agreed during implementation.
02Asset intelligence
Asset monitoring
Map equipment and signals, agree operating context and thresholds, validate alert behavior, and preserve the evidence used for each decision.

Maintenance planning
Translate an approved intervention into a reviewable plan with the right scope, constraints, supporting evidence, and hand-off to the system of record.

Prepare a defensible starting point
Perfect data is rarely available. What matters first is knowing what is authoritative, what is incomplete, and who is qualified to resolve uncertainty.
Asset context
- A named business owner and engineering reviewer
- A bounded pilot asset or system
- Asset hierarchy and equipment identifiers
- Known operating modes and duty expectations
Source evidence
- Current manuals, drawings, and datasheets
- Maintenance plans and available work history
- Known failure history and existing risk assessments
- Source ownership, revision, and approval status
Governance
- Defined review and approval authorities
- Site safety and change-management requirements
- Acceptance measures for the pilot
- A process for correcting and superseding outputs
Implementation path
Move from a bounded pilot to operational use
The sequence below is a planning model, not a promise of a fixed deployment timeline. Scope, data condition, integration complexity, and site assurance requirements affect the implementation plan.
- 01
Discover
Agree the business outcome, asset boundary, stakeholders, risks, and evidence available for a focused starting point.
- 02
Map
Align site terminology, asset identifiers, data sources, user roles, and any systems that may exchange information.
- 03
Configure
Set up the agreed workflow, review gates, and integration scope without treating generated content as pre-approved engineering advice.
- 04
Validate
Run representative cases with qualified reviewers, record exceptions, and confirm acceptance criteria before operational use.
- 05
Operate
Monitor workflow quality, access, changes, and feedback while maintaining clear accountability for every approved decision.
Support
Bring the asset context. We’ll map the next step.
For implementation questions, describe the workflow, systems, and asset boundary you want to evaluate. Do not send confidential operational data by email unless an approved exchange method has been established.
