Maintenance Strategy Optimisation

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

ABL’s highly experienced experts, world-class maintenance standards and award-winning software will help you identify and implement maintenance optimisation strategies designed to safeguard production and minimise operational expenditure.

Our team can work with your team to optimise your plans, by either conducting a full analysis and optimisation project or by supporting your in-house team to deliver specific components.

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 practice, new techniques, new technology and so much more.

Our team of maintenance consultants and analytical software can:

Analyse

Thoroughly explore your maintenance data and strategies

Benchmark

Benchmark your maintenance regime and plant performance against industry best practice

Investigate

Our solutions

Maintenance analysis and optimisation

Equipment vulnerability 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.

Equipment reliability analysis

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

Late life extension studies

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.

Equipment maintenance strategy development

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

Equipment maintenance strategy optimisation

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 to asset downtime costs.

RCM studies and facilitation

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, face-to-face or remote sessions to evaluate the current applied maintenance.

Obsolescence studies

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.

New build plant

A full maintenance, integrity and materials management regime developed alongside the physical build to assure readiness for start-up.

Existing operational plant

An optimisation or rebuild of an existing maintenance, integrity and materials management regime to unlock efficiencies and ensure usability.

Plant upgrade and modifications

Replicate new equipment in the CMMS/EAM or ERP and apply the associated maintenance, integrity and materials management regime.

Plant life cycle management

Rationalisation and update of maintenance, integrity and materials management program to align to the phase in the asset’s operational life.

Acquisitions, mergers and new systems

To facilitate the migration and transfer of a maintenance, integrity and materials management regime from one, or multiple systems to another.

Assuring master data quality

To enable effective Data Management of Change (MoC) by monitoring your data to ensure it is maintained to the correct standards to avoid data quality drifts that undermine the proficiency of the CMMS/EAM or ERP.
