PM/PdM Optimization Services

Looking to develop or optimize your PM or PdM program?

The quality of a preventative maintenance (PM) plan can make or break a reliability program. Unfortunately, most PM programs are burdensome and may do more harm than good.

Starting with baseline data collection, we provide a plant-wide assessment of your machinery health, and an indication how ready your operation is for maximum production.

We then use proven quantitative techniques for PM development and failure-based techniques for integrating predictive maintenance (PdM) technologies.

The Process

This session is used to ensure that site personnel understand PM and PdM management capabilities and how to approach a new program.

Define the scope of opportunity that exists for the application of PdM technologies and develop a 100% PdM baseline model to compare the actual coverage, desired coverage and top quartile performance benchmarking coverage.

Collecting baseline data during machine startup provides you with a documentation trail of the asset health for each piece of critical equipment.

Identify the most likely failure modes (root cause) of each functional failure and define the consequences of those failures.

Evaluate the program to find out if PMs are identifying any corrective work and if they are being properly performed.
