Maintenance Reliability and Work Process Consulting

We offer maintenance consulting services covering the full spectrum of facility and plant maintenance operations designed to attain optimum equipment reliability and overall maintenance program improvement. The challenge is to address each maintenance operational element as an individual item and then integrate them to achieve a fully functional reliability maintenance program.

We categorize these services within the following groups:

Maintenance reliability program evaluations and benchmarking
Our services typically begin with an evaluation of the total maintenance process or a specific area of concern to the client. We will review the areas of operations, maintenance, safety, training, and financial records based on the needs of the assessment. This evaluation will be compared against industry-based best practices and the real world of the client's operations and goals. The results include a detailed summary of the significant findings, opportunities for improvement, recommendations for accomplishing the improvements, and the expected results. A plan would then be presented showing how we would accomplish the improvement program, the anticipated time frame, the client's required involvement, and the expected results.

Due diligence & financial justification for improvements
All recommendations and improvement initiatives will be evaluated from a financial and operational perspective to assure appropriate return on investment. The results will provide support in justification to management to obtain proper project funding.

Maintenance outsourcing consulting
Most plants and facilities use maintenance contractors for a wide variety of support functions. These range broadly from providing total maintenance of the plant or facility to just specialized services where it is not practical to train or equip staff plant personnel. We can help ensure clients get the best value for these support services through a variety of methods, including:

• Pre-qualification of contractors
• Scope definition and Request(s) for Proposals
• Proposal review and recommendation
• Contract award and negotiation
• Organization and execution
• Follow up performance evaluation

New plant reliability and maintenance strategies
Too often maintenance strategies, programs, systems and facilities are given minimal consideration in the design and construction of a new plant or facility. In these cases, maintenance organization and program set up begins much too late and never seems to fully catch up to production's needs. In your new plant or facility, AssetPoint can provide:

• Development of maintenance strategy
• Maintainability reviews
• Identification of required maintenance facilities, tooling, and support
• Work process development and implementation
• Equipment criticality studies
• Development and installation of maintenance technology programs and systems
