Asset Management
Asset Management Consulting
The return on assets employed is one of the critical measures of success for a company.
Maintenance of physical assets of a plant operation requires systems thinking. The return on assets employed is one of the critical measures of success for a company. The maintenance of those assets for uptime and lifetime can either make or break the financial results of the assets employed. These assets are not similar to money in the bank, a ledger entry, an account receivable. They are being worked, worn out, abused, and destroyed over time.
The AMSS consulting process can assure protection of assets even in a constrained budget environment. Both Uptime and ROI are possible with Computerized Maintenance Management Systems, Reliability Centered Maintenance Principles, and the implementation of Assets Criticality Analysis.
Physical Asset Management excellence combines the best of management execution, financial analysis, data management, and reliability engineering practices followed with all equipment assets.
The goal of the AMSS Asset Management Program is to achieve high machine service uptime levels while maintaining lowest repair cost throughout the entire lifecycle.
We relieve the stress and reduce the cost in design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance, repair, modification, replacement or decommissioning and disposal of the assets.
Condition Monitoring Program
A maintenance strategy that monitors the actual condition of the asset.
Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is a maintenance strategy that monitors the actual condition of the asset to decide what maintenance needs to be done. CBM dictates that maintenance should only be performed when certain indicators show signs of decreasing performance or upcoming failure.
Machine condition monitoring is important because it provides information about the health of a machine. You can use this information to detect warning signs early and help your organization stop unscheduled outages, optimize machine performance, and reduce repair time and maintenance costs.
AMSS can setup and operate a CBM program for critical pieces of equipment or on a plant wide basis. Understanding both the failure modes of operating machinery and the fastest means to repair are essential to a good program. Using state of the art technology and inspection methods are brought to bear for determining best maintenance practices.
Vibration monitoring enables predictive maintenance and can be performed with real time analysis. With use of sensors on mechanical or electrical parts, the technician can effectively track malfunctions and potential failures. Monitoring temperature, oil cleanliness, and hydraulic pressures can also identify changes which may indicate an upcoming failure.
Monitoring and diagnosis of power and distribution transformers can extend their life and reduce costs. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) computing systems used to control electromechanical processes also serve as data acquisition and key trigger/alarms for maintenance efforts. SCADA – Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition expertise is in short supply and an area where AMSS temporary staff or temporary to permanent staff solutions can help a company manage costs.
