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. However, Optima has discovered that this traditional approach needs an overhaul.
We know that equipment failures could not be prevented or effectively reduced by looking solely at traditional equipment lifecycles. Instead, we must 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 and optimize equipment reliability. The maintenance function can prevent equipment failure when “condition-based” or “predictive maintenance” tactics are implemented, instead of traditional methodology.
Optima can help you adopt a cost-effective maintenance plan by identifying what you want out of your equipment. We can evaluate what your equipment can do and possible ways in which it might fail to meet your requirements. We will also evaluate what you can do to ensure your equipment meets your expectations in a safe and cost-effective manner.
