Plant reliability

KEMA can help you find the right balance between availability, risk and costs through condition assessment & monitoring and risk analysis

Today, assets are being exploited in the most efficient and effective way. Functional maintenance keeps costs limited. Theses asset CapEx and Opex costs are related to:

 

-        the investment for new constructions

-        maintenance during operation

-        utilization of the asset and its components

-        plant personnel and management.

 

In the early stages teething problems are present and the plant can be sensitive for failures. After that the risks are minimal over a longer period of time, depending on the know-how and motivation of the plant personnel. In this period failures occur, but have by average a low probability and impact. After this “in-between” period the risk increases due to changing behavior of some components and changed plant operations.

 

Thoughtless cost savings in maintenance, impropriate plant operation, and last but not least, the management of this all leads to increased risk and accompanying costs. KEMA can help you with its integrated Advance Life Time Approach (ALTIMA) to find the right balance between availability, risk and costs through condition assessment, condition monitoring, risk analysis and Fitness-for-Purpose analysis.
