Apply proven machinery problem-solving strategiesHere's a summary of the approach used by competent machinery engineers

摘要

To solve a machinery problem, you would undoubtedly draw on your own experiences and the approaches found in a number of failure analysis and troubleshooring texts. Also, using a repeatable strategy is highly recommended; it avoids guessing and the repeat failures that so often result. To present a composite overview of most strategies, we share with our readers a summary of the approach used by competent machinery engineers for as long as we can remember. In fact, whenever engineers working for the central engineering division of a major multinational energy company left the home office for an overseas startup assignment, much of what is related here represented the "core beliefs" that went into their reference folders. In those days, competent engineers always traveled witli a good technical text and appropriate reference folders. They never traveled with iPods.
