Maintenance Assessment

Process

• We analyze your maintenance data

• Measure maintenance work flow & management

• Measure present levels of proactive and reactive maintenance

• Identify gaps between current status & objectives

• Suggest a revised maintenance methodology to fill gaps

Benefits

• Reach a higher percentage of planned work

• Reduce breakdowns

• Increase tool time

• Higher plant availability

• Better equipment reliability

• Better utilization of workforce

• Provide a clear path to sustained equipment performance

Reliability Centred Maintenance - RCM

Process

• Determine your equipment maintenance strategy by a structured & scientific approach

• Determine equipment criticality, function, functional failure, failure modes & failure consequences

• Eliminate unnecessary invasive maintenance, choose condition-based maintenance over time-based maintenance where appropriate

• Reduce hidden failures & safety related failures

Benefits

• Achieve inherent reliability of equipment

• Production focused maintenance strategy

• Longer useful life of equipment & components

• Lesser invasive maintenance – reduce human induced errors

• Increased Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

• Reduced maintenance cost in the long run

Risk Based Inspection - RBI

Process

• Assess your equipment to deliver

• Inspection plans and periods for equipment based on level of risk

• Inspection  plans optimization based on individual damage mechanism

• Operational boundaries definition, which prevent unexpected equipment damage mechanisms / rates

• Risk mitigation measures and other actions to safeguard integrity

• Plan to shift resources to provide a higher level of coverage on the high-risk items and an appropriate effort on lower risk equipment

Benefits

• Improved safety of plant and people

• Reduced risk and cost

• Minimize consequences of catastrophic damage

• Prioritize equipment for inspection

• Optimized inspection methods and frequencies, and develop specific equipment inspection plans

• Avoid forced shutdowns
