I’m currently reviewing our criticality assessment methodology at our plant. We’re using a basic risk matrix but I feel we’re not capturing enough of the production loss consequence accurately. Has anyone implemented a more robust framework, particularly in Nigerian power sector contexts?

We’re procuring portable vibration analysis equipment for our rotating assets. Looking at options from SKF, Emerson, and a few others. Curious what ASMR members are using day-to-day — particularly for route-based data collection on pumps and compressors in upstream oil & gas environments.

Having implemented both SAP PM and IBM Maximo across different clients in Nigeria’s oil sector, I wanted to share some lessons that aren’t in the vendor documentation. Both tools can deliver world-class CMMS capability but the gap between a poor implementation and a great one is almost entirely about data quality and change management — not the software itself.

After failing the CMRP twice, I changed my approach completely and passed on the third attempt. Happy to share what actually worked versus what the study guides tell you. The biggest insight: the exam tests contextual application, not textbook recall. This changes everything about how you should prepare.
