Maintenance Compliance & Management
To respond to rapidly increasing maintenance costs, poor availability, and concern over the effectiveness of traditional preventive maintenance programs, you must look at maintenance through a new perspective.
The traditional approach to scheduled maintenance programs are based on the concept that every piece of equipment has a service life at which point complete overhaul is necessary to ensure safety and operating reliability.
Optima has discovered that equipment failures could not be prevented or effectively reduced through traditional equipment life cycle overhauls. You need to provide a maintenance oriented framework to meet demand challenges. A maintenance program should be a structured, logical process for developing or optimizing the maintenance requirements of a resource to realize its "inherent reliability".
Optima can help you design a methodology to balance the resources being used to optimize equipment reliability.
Optima believes that equipment failure is an unsatisfactory condition your that maintenance function can prevent.
Optima believes that the consequences of failure should determine the priority of the maintenance effort and that “condition-based” or predictive maintenance tactics are favored over traditional methods.
Optima can help you adopt a strategic methodology for developing a cost effective maintenance plan by identifying what you want out of your equipment; what your equipment can do; the way in which it may fail to meet your requirements; and what you can do to ensure your equipment meets your expectations in a safe and cost-effective manner.
Optima will help you achieve this by using a progressive, logical approach based on identifying the function of all significant maintainable items, functional failure modes, failure effects, and failure cause --- then apply a logic model to each item so as to identify tasks and maintenance inspection intervals.
