Maintenance
Optimisation Using Condition Monitoring
Once an organisation
has optimized its profit margins in terms of efficiency of production
(£ / unit product), the next concern is plant availability which
is arguably the most important factor in ensuring continuous operation
of process plant.
MVC’s approach
of identifying the commercial and safety impact of equipment failure
and the role that the maintenance function plays in managing the prevention
of such failures enables the formation of an efficient maintenance
optimisation regime for critical machines. This involves the implementation
and management of condition based maintenance practices which improves
capital asset performance on assets that have been identified as essential
to the continued safe and reliable operation of the plant.
In today’s
competitive environment, cost-effective operations are now more than
ever essential. However, experience has shown that indiscriminate
cost cutting is not the way forward because the risks are too high.
‘Maintenance
on Condition’ removes the risks from cost reduction. |
