Capabilities
The Asset Optimization services APTECH offers are directed at helping our clients achieve higher production availability in markets where there is increased competition and a need for greater cost consciousness. Our aim is to provide services which provide the bridge between engineering and economics. Our approach is quantitative, allowing our clients to make risk-informed decisions. Our service include:
- Equipment Life-Cycle Cost Analysis - Forecast of
anticipated through-life cost of equipment operation
including the cost of preventive and corrective
maintenance, spares holding and consumption costs, and
the cost of lost production.
- Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM)
Analysis - Determination of through-life availability of
units, plants and fleets based on the reliability and
maintenance of underlying systems and components. The
effect of alternative levels of maintenances and spares
resources are considered.
- Spare Parts Inventory Optimization - Recommended
inventory levels of high value insurance spares based on
marginal worth of the spares to plants or fleet
operation. Required production levels, part cost,
replenishment time, and acceptable risk of stockouts are
considered.
- Maintenance Resource Assessment - Optimized
maintenance staffing levels based on importance of
equipment to production and safety. Crew size,
mobilization time, and wage rates as are specialist and
contract labor and materials handling equipment
requirements.
- Asset Improvement Portfolio Optimization -
Development and implementation of processes, criteria,
and tools to assist clients in optimizing investment in
plant improvements considering financials, labor, spares,
and scheduled downtime constraints. Recommended selection
processes eliminate "gaming," resulting in those projects
that are of greatest overall benefit to the organization.
- Equipment Failure and Repair Data Acquisition and Development - We develop and/or supply equipment reliability and repair data using a variety of approaches and resources including analysis of client raw data, expert solicitation, and use of industry generic and AOS proprietary data resources.
