Join PERD

PERD welcomes all companies interested in equipment reliability.  To help meet your specific needs, three classes of membership have been created. Click on membership classes to see details. Generally, upon accepting the Bylaws, signing the Agreement to Participate and satisfying the annual dues, your company will have full membership rights (as detailed below.)

Benefits

Participation in this work is expected to ultimately yield the following benefits:

  • Ability to quantify risks and measure the reliability and availability of plants, systems, and equipment
  • Ability to benchmark plant performance internally and externally
  • Enable improved maintenance optimization
  • Support of risk based maintenance planning insight for improvement in the design of new systems/equipment
  • Support optimization of life cycle costs
  • Provide a foundation for the improvement of existing data management systems

Participating companies will receive:

  • Membership on the Project Steering Committee, which discusses technical aspects of the database and its operation and which provides technical guidance to the project.
  • Guidelines for Improved Plant Reliability through Data Collection and Analysis, data collection protocols.
  • Access to PERD Database software, designed to house aggregated reliability data as well as other company reliability data.
  • Access to technical documentation as it is developed. This includes access to database application software updates as it evolves.
  • Participating companies that do not contribute data or do not have systems, which provide suitable quality data, will be able to request data on an a la carte basis for an additional fee.

Participants providing reliability data will receive:

  • Periodic distribution of aggregated data provided by participants to the database, if the participant has contributed the requisite amount of original data from its plant operations;
  • Access to failure rate and repair data for new equipment for which they lack experience; and
  • Access to failure rate and repair data for existing equipment that has been contributed by others with similar operations.
