Equipment Maintenance Strategy

What  is the intent of a Maintenance Strategy ?


The ensure assets in the organization are managed through a well-documented equipment strategy

that takes into consideration various factors such as the recommendations provided by

 

·         the original equipment manufacturer (OEM),

·         the corporate risk standards,

·         the operating context, and

·         the user requirements throughout the entire lifecycle of the asset.


The equipment strategy is carefully developed to ensure that the assets are effectively maintained and managed to maximize their performance, reliability, and longevity, while also minimizing the risks associated with their operation.

The strategy is regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains relevant and effective over time, and any changes are communicated to relevant stakeholders.

By having a well-defined equipment strategy, the organization can ensure that their assets are managed in a systematic and efficient manner,

enabling them to achieve their performance  goals and Business objectives in a safe and reliable manner.

 


What are the key drivers for Maintenance Strategy ?

Business performance is directly impacted by maintenance strategies.

The maintenance strategy should support business objectives and goals including reducing equipment downtime improving equipment performance, increasing operational efficiency and reducing total cost of ownership.

Maintenance strategies increase safety by reducing the risk of accidents or injury by equipment malfunction.
Regulatory compliance, some industries have strict regulatory compliance, having a well-designed maintenance strategy can ensure compliance and full transparency.

Document the reasons behind the original strategy selection as well as the specific measures that were implemented. This documentation serves to better understand the current strategy and helps identify areas for improvement.

 


What are the outputs from Maintenance Strategy ?

A documented maintenance strategy that is specific to the operating context of that asset.

The maintenance strategy identifies failure modes, effects, risk and the appropriate risk mitigation strategy.

Using Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) methodology to develop maintenance strategies.

Documented work instructions that increase maintenance efficiency

Improved maintenance budget accuracy by identify personnel, equipment and spares to support the strategy.

Achievable performance against current and future requirements.

Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT)

Image
 Magnetic Particle Testing    Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT), also known as Magnetic Particle Inspection, i.e. a nondestructive examination (NDE) technique used to detect surface and  subsurface diecounitinuties  in most ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, and some of their alloys. Because it does not necessitate the degree of surface preparation required by other nondestructive test methods, conducting magnetic particle test Is part of ASME SECTION V ARTICLE 7 requires the magnetic particle visible method (color contrast) be evaluated with a minimum light intensity of 100 footcandles on the part surface Advantages of the Magnetic Particle method of Non-Destructive Examination are: It is quick and relatively uncomplicated. It gives immediate indications of defects. It shows surface and near surface defects, and these are the most serious ones as they concentrate stresses. Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), also referred to as Magnetic Particl...
