Maintenance Strategy Optimisation

Home » Consulting & Engineering » Asset Integrity Management » Maintenance Strategy Optimisation

Maintenance strategy optimisation is the key to hitting production targets safely and consistently. It is important to fine-tune your plans based on current operational requirements, lessons learned, data analysed, industry best practices, new techniques, new technology and so much more.

We’ll work with your team to optimise your plans, by either conducting a full analysis and optimisation project or by supporting your in-house team in delivering specific components.

ABL’s experts, world-class maintenance standards and award-winning software will help you identify and implement maintenance and reliability best practices to safeguard production and minimise operational expenditure.

Our reliability and maintenance solutions

Maintenance optimisation and analysis

An independent evaluation of the risks for equipment or assets across key areas of engineering, reliability, spares, maintenance and economics. We provide a current threats ranking and forward plan that will improve or maintain your current risk levels.

An independent evaluation of an asset, system, or equipment’s reliability, as well as looking at improvement opportunities or highlighting key tasks that are currently being conducted to maintain your reliability goals.

A review of assets that are at the end of or beyond their design life, and identifying the actions required to safely operate them beyond that timescale.

Using either our very own RCM-based maintenance library or developing bespoke strategies for clients, we can provide a maintenance solution for any asset situation to ensure safe and efficient operations are justified, planned, and scheduled.

The identification and categorisation of equipment or systems that are approaching or have become obsolete, and providing options to deal with continued operation or replacement plans.

We can work with you to ensure industry best practice is applied across your organisation. We strive to enhance any gaps in maintenance strategies to ensure all factors from safety assurance to inspections are accounted for in the system, which will deliver the required asset availability or performance at the lowest overall cost, balancing maintenance cost with asset downtime costs.

Set up of the base data and facilitation of the foundations required to build a maintenance program with reliability-centered maintenance principles. We use FMEA and FMECA cloud-based tools to run workshops, and face-to-face or remote sessions to evaluate the current applied maintenance.
