Developing a maintenance strategy for a large technical installation involves tradeoffs. If your plan is too robust, you run the risk of overspending. If it is not robust enough, you run the risk of costly malfunctions. While maintenance planners routinely weigh such considerations, very few employ a disciplined risk-based approach. At ASE, we are changing that. Looking at your setup as a whole, we can calculate the risk of malfunction for each of the individual parts, the ramifications for the overall system, and the potential cost involved in the case of failure. Through quantifying cost and risk, you gain insight into how best to use your maintenance budget, and where to best allocate resources. The result is a highly effective maintenance regime, one which allows you to control costs while minimizing potential disruptions.
