Introduction

... focus upon increasing the total availability of the complete system. The key word is High energy factor, i.e. that the production of power and heat is a steady-state process which must be ongoing 24 hours per day throughout the year.

Expertise and Experience

Our consultants have in-depth knowledge and experience from both power and heat production as well as other process industries. We have worked with reliability engineering both from a maintenance perspective and a safety perspective.

Our main areas

Business development of the maintenance process
Review of the complete maintenance process from a holistic perspective and perform an analysis in order to find the key internal demands and requirements. A status analysis of the management of maintenance information within the organization is performed. Analysis of maintenance contracts (both internal and external) resulting in recommendations, both general and in detail, of improvements.

Allocation of maintenance resources and components
Allocation analysis of the maintenance resources and components. This includes a spare parts optimization with regard to availability versus cost. For the analysis we use our own software tools, e.g. OPUS10.

Reliability and Life Cycle Cost
Development of a specification of requirements assessing reliability and maintenance for a specific project. Evaluation of different bids from contractors regarding the aspect of reliability and maintenance Life Cycle Cost.

Risk and Safety analyses
Qualitative risk and safety analyses by use of FMEA and HAZOP technique
