Details

Enterprises are under increasing pressure to reduce costs in order to meet tougher performance and production goals with maximum return on asset investment. Unplanned equipment downtime greatly affects the earnings of any enterprise and must be minimized. Risks should also be minimized, as well as the costs of keeping those risks low. Asset maintenance is a significant cost factor for companies to improve performance and maintain availability during the asset’s life cycle. Maintenance is a key factor for succeeding in asset management.
An Israeli Reliability Engineering consultancy has developed an expert system for maintenance optimization which allows manufacturers, service-providers and MRO (Maintenance Repair and Overhaul) organizations to scientifically analyze improve and optimize all relevant aspects of maintenance strategies as follows:
•Repair or discard
•Corrective / preventive / predictive maintenance
•Spare parts allocation & procurement
•Human resources
•Support & Test Equipment
•Tools and materials.
By Using the tool typically leads to an average savings of 35% on maintenance and logistic costs as well as reducing loss of production and damage costs.
As a powerful decision support tool, it allows a wide range of enterprises in various sectors to analyze and optimize their asset usage, allow companies to quantify the maintenance costs drivers versus the availability / utilization of an asset, and vice versa. An optimal solution is recommended where the cost is minimized and the availability/performance is maximized

Innovative Aspects:
• Increases availability and performance
• Minimizes the system down time damage
• Avoids unplanned downtime
• Increases productivity and profitability
• Minimizes the system / equipment repair costs during its life cycle
• Recommends repair or discard policy for each assembly
• Recommends repair sites and stock sites for each assembly
• Recommends equipment repair only when needed
• Optimizes preventative maintenance and inspection schedules
• Groups preventative and inspection tasks in one combined cycled scheduled time slot to minimized down time Allows multiple scenarios comparisons to perform “spent cost” and “performance” analysis of the asset over its anticipated life span
• Can be used under ERP / EAM / CMMS tools
• Reduces maintenance and logistic costs
• Reduces resource waste
• Keeps equipment in top working condition
• Minimizes spare parts kept in stock
• Evaluates 'pooling' options and shared spare part strategies
• Minimizes the total cost of purchasing, storing and transporting spare parts
• Creates a basis for spare part logistics
• Compares alternative vendors and supply routes
• Reduces probability of running out of stock
• Reduces human resource costs
• Reduces support equipments, tools and materials costs
• Enables an improvement in maintenance personnel utilization
• Creates a basis for maintenance personnel, support equipments, tools, facilities and materials records
