Condition-Based Maintenance MA

Maintenance costs are a major part of the operating costs of all manufacturing or production plants. Depending on the specific industry, maintenance costs can represent between 10 and 40 percent of the costs of goods produced. For example, in food-related industries, the average maintenance cost represents about 15 percent of the cost of goods produced; while in iron and steel, pulp and paper and other heavy industries maintenance represents up to 40 percent of the total production costs. Discounting the cost of fuel for nuclear units, most power production facilities in the United States of America also fall into the upper range of costs. 3 Recent surveys of maintenance management effectiveness in the US manufacturing industry indicate that one-third, 33 cents out of every dollar, of all maintenance costs is wasted as
the result of unnecessary or improperly carried out maintenance. When the high percentage of operating cost attributed each year to maintenance of plant equipment and facilities is considered the impact on productivity of maintenance operation becomes obvious.

Salvo Global’s 3-day intensive Masterclass on “CONDITION-BASED MAINTENANCE “CBM” ” is a practical “How-to- Do-it Guide” for implementing, measuring results and successfully applying today’s best practices for Condition-Based Maintenance.

Advanced Maintenance Dashboard and KPI

Maintenance KPIs are a reflection of your goals as an organization. Your key performance indicators (KPIs) should reflect what you value and what you are working towards. Maintenance organizations need to measure themselves against a set of standards to determine if operational goals are being achieved. Those metrics could be applied against department-based targets, company standards, or even world-class maintenance benchmarks. Goal-driven KPIs provide critical and immediate feedback on the progress, or lack thereof, made toward process improvements. You can track as many KPIs as you like, but the “key” in KPIs speaks to focusing on those factors most important to the business. It’s essential that what you’re tracking is actually fundamental to organizational success.

You don’t need a KPI for everything. You still have access to all your periodic reports and the deeper information required to make critical maintenance business adjustments. With that thought in mind, you may consider limiting KPIs to those currently most meaningful. KPIs should not be static. Rather you should rotate different KPIs in and out as goals are met and business objectives change. Don’t fall into the trap of displaying old KPIs just because they look good on your reports or dashboard!

To enable delegates to have an overall insight into the goal of Maintenance, the performance management, the requirements to achieve maintenance cost-effectiveness, understanding the fundamentals of maintenance data, and defining the balanced scorecard.

In parallel, the essential maintenance performance measurement where the cost of the common element of the equipment life cycle and related elements to complete the maintenance dashboard.

Asset Management

Why attend this Masterclass?

Maintenance’s key objective is to increase uptime without over-doing maintenance and the challenge lies in how to determine the right mix of maintenance management and total productive maintenance. Many organizations also find themselves struggling to put in place an effective Maintenance regime to improve equipment integrity. The concept of Preventive and Predictive maintenance is extensively known, and the potential benefits are widely accepted, but still, many maintenance practitioners have failed to successfully take advantage of the techniques and technology. By mastering techniques like the condition-based monitoring, reliability analysis, and the latest improvement tools for mining mobile equipment, participants will be able to prevent avoidable equipment failures and associated production losses and finally break the reactive maintenance cycle.

Risk-Based Inspection

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) is an analysis methodology and process that requires qualitative or quantitative assessment of the probability of failure (PoF) and the consequence of failure (CoF) associated with each equipment item, piping circuits included, in a process unit. The risk-based approach requires a systematic and integrated use of expertise from the different disciplines that impact plant integrity. Risk-based methodologies enable the assessment of the likelihood and potential consequences of equipment failures.

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) provides companies the opportunity to prioritize their equipment for inspection; optimize inspection methods, frequencies, and resources; and develop specific equipment inspection plans. This results in improved safety, lower failure risk, fewer forced shutdowns, and reduced operational costs.

A properly implemented RBI program categorizes individual pieces of equipment by their risks and prioritizes inspection efforts based on this categorization.

RBI can be used to prioritize inspection-related activities, usually by means of non-destructive examination (NDE), to reduce the uncertainties around the true damage state of the equipment and the dynamics leading to such. The resulting inspection plan may outline the type and scheduling of inspection for an asset. In addition to NDE, additional risk mitigation activities identified by an RBI assessment might include a change in material of construction, installation of corrosion resistant liners, operating condition changes, injection of corrosion inhibition chemicals, etc.

Consistency and repeatability of analysis are critical to producing an effective RBI program, as RBI is based on relative risks.

  • Discover the fundamental principles of Risk Analysis
  • Understand the quantitative determination of probability of failure
  • Learn the analysis of consequence of failure methodology

Talent Management, Engagement, and Retention of Hybrid Work Employees

The issues that managers face have grown as work has moved away from central offices and into hybrid work environments. Managers need assistance in overcoming the most typical issues that arise when managing work groups that include both work-from-home and work-from-an-office (hybrid) work groups. Managers may successfully navigate the landscape of hybrid work by knowing the challenges and honing their abilities to acquire, engage, and retain remote workers.

When working from home, workers encounter significant distractions. They may face distractions from small children, noisy relatives (or spouses), or aggressive pets. It gets more difficult in remote mode because the professional environment, which often encourages us to work, is completely gone. Working from home allows us to be easily sidetracked by family members or pressing personal duties that can seem more thrilling than the work tasks we need to do before close of the business day.

Distractions reduce productivity at work and during daily tasks. It is difficult for workers—and even managers–to focus and accomplish a task when they can be distracted from it. Furthermore, getting critical work done may be difficult if workers are regularly distracted by those who may not realize how busy they are.

Collaboration can be difficult for any team, but working together in hybrid work groups can be exceptionally demanding. Remote workers experience a lack of informal and formal face-to-face communication; work-from-the-office workers may be distracted by those who “drop by” for casual social chat. Work groups composed of hybrid workers can lead to poor team relationships and misunderstandings. Managers must endeavor to foster a team culture that encourages collaboration and communication, which can be complicated by hybrid work arrangements.

Managers must grasp the problems that employees face when working from a distance or even those working in the central office. Managers may help employees maximize their productivity while remaining connected to the organization by creating policies that foster teamwork and communication as well as offering appropriate opportunities to work in teams rather than independently.

In this dynamic online program, hear how to acquire, engage, and retain workers in the post-pandemic world.

Advanced Maintenance Planning and Scheduling

In an ever-increasing competitive industries like Manufacturing, Mining, Power and Utilities and Oil & Gas, the maintenance division is typically required by management to increase asset and equipment uptime with minor breakdowns and lower cost. For this type of situation, the maintenance departments feel the lack of resources. Work orders keeps coming in, but not many get done.

A study from SMRP shows that the average “wrench time” of available maintenance personnel is only 35%. It means that on an average day, an organization’s maintenance force only spends about 3 ½ hours on completing maintenance work. The remaining hours are wasted on gathering parts, travelling, meetings, breaks, and other “non-productive” activities that have nothing to do with working on asset and equipment maintenance.

Without proper planning and scheduling, maintenance is uncoordinated, costly and ineffective, leaving the team to fail in meeting deadlines. These failures will cause constant problems for the Operations department, who will become increasingly reluctant to release equipment in the future. This can directly contribute to higher maintenance cost, inadequate maintenance execution and rapidly deteriorating plant integrity.

Salvo Global’s 3-day course is designed to build advanced competency in maintenance planning and scheduling. The techniques that participants will learn in this course will allow for effective planning and scheduling of maintenance resources. The course covers all the fundamentals and advanced methods and applications that a suitably qualified professional would use in carrying out fully functional plant maintenance.

RCM Blitz™

Why RCM Blitz™?

RCM Blitz™ differs from other Reliability Centered Maintenance Services or methodologies as it was not only designed to address equipment reliability, but also: health factors, safety concerns, and environmental incidents and reduce accidents. The RCM Blitz™ methodology was designed as a response to manufacturing companies that found traditional RCM too expensive and time consuming. The RCM Blitz™ methodology begins with the critical manufacturing assets only resulting in immediate return.

Recognized as one of the top RCM Methodologies in the industry, RCM Blitz™ was developed by Doug Plucknette in 1997 when he recognized the need to develop a RCM methodology that was not only quick and efficient, but focused on improving manufacturing reliability while reducing health, safety and environmental incidents and accidents. While some think of RCM Blitz™ as a streamlined method, the RCM Blitz process meets and exceeds the SAE JA-1011 and JA-1012 standards for Traditional RCM.

The RCM Blitz™ utilizes that allows the user to upload their equipment hierarchy to the component level with functionality designed to build both speed and accuracy into the analysis process.

RCM Blitz™ works because we address and mitigate the Failure Modes that result from the context and environment in which you operate your equipment.

Traditional RCM methodologies wait and perform their analysis following significant failure events, RCM Blitz™ is proactive. Tasks and analysis can be performed before failures, eliminating these events before they ever occur. We bring nearly twenty-five years of experience in working with companies to build efficient failure modes based proactive maintenance strategies that ensure reliability and safety.
