Scheduled Maintenance Optimization

 

Be Proactive

BQR’s SMO module Optimizes the periods between Preventive Maintenance (PM) events for equipment at the various asset hierarchy levels, accounting for equipment ageing (failure distribution),  logistics, cost, and grouping of maintenance tasks.

Benefits

  • Find optimal balance between OPEX and CAPEX
  • With an optimal preventive maintenance program, you transition from reactive to proactive maintenance
  • Identify main cost and down-time drivers

Highlight

Optimization accounts for grouping of maintenance actions in order to reduce the number of times that an assembly is opened

Steps for conducting a Scheduled Maintenance Optimization

 

Import (optional)

  • Import the block tree, components and failure modes from BQR’s FMECA using BQR’s Core Database
  • Alternately, data can be imported from CSV files

 

User Input

  • Define project data such as: Life-Cycle period and operation profiles
  • Define the reliability model, repair and replace policy for each block
  • Define logistics options for the asset including: spare stocks, OEMs, shops, and transportation routes
  • Define costs of inspections, maintenance actions, and downtime
  • Define resources required for each inspection and maintenance task (optional)
  • Define additional scenarios in order to compare cost and availability

 

Analysis

  • The software validates the user data. If data is missing, user is notified
  • Software optimizes the preventive maintenance schedule in order to minimize the Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) while keeping high asset availability

 

Reports

  • Detailed reliability and availability parameters for each block
  • Simple and actionable maintenance plan
  • All reports can be saved as Excel, HTML or Word files
