Reliability Strategies

In Reliability Strategies, you can access a library of asset-specific failure details and mitigation activities. Industry and domain experts developed the library, which contains hundreds of assets and tens of thousands of possible failures across all known operating contexts. In Maximo® Manage 9, you can also create your own custom strategies that reflect your organization's reliability studies and maintenance practices.

Before you begin

Note: Reliability Strategies in Maximo Manage can only be used with separately licensed maintenance strategy library data. For additional terms and agreement information for the maintenance strategy library, see the service description.

For Maximo Manage 9, you do not need to complete any configuration steps for Reliability Strategies. To enable user access, assign users to one of the security groups in the following table. These groups are available after you install Reliability Strategies.

For Maximo Manage 8.7, you must configure Reliability Strategies before users can access it. For more information, see Configuring Reliability Strategies.

In the strategy library, when you specify an asset, asset type, and asset configuration, the system displays a maintenance strategy. For example, for an Accumulator asset of type Hydraulic with asset configuration Bladder Type, you can view failure modes, mitigation activities, and boundary information.
