We can team with your staff or work independently to provide any of the services listed below.
Making Specific Systems and Processes More Reliable
-
Risk-based Maintenance: Next Generation RCM
Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) prioritizes equipment failure modes based on the risk (business interruption, safety, equipment costs, etc.) to an organization so that maintenance resources can be allocated in a cost-effective manner. Our experts will help structure the analysis to minimize the impact on your operation and your personnel.
-
Reliability, Availability and Maintainability Analyses
ABS Consulting uses one or more of many powerful analysis techniques to systematically examine the risks associated with a specific system, process, or machine. From their extensive experience, our analysts will help you select the right technique for your project: hazard and operability analysis, fault tree analysis, Weibull analysis, reliability block diagrams, or other techniques. Using the right tool for your problem assists you in getting the information you need in the most efficient manner possible.
-
Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
This is a powerful technique for deciding where to spend your resources most effectively to improve product quality. We can examine your manufacturing process to identify specific equipment problems, human errors, or other operational faults that can affect product quality. The analysis produces a prioritized list of suggested actions to reduce the risk associated with potential quality problems.
-
Risk-informed Asset Management (RIAM)
RIAM applies decision analysis tools and historical plant performance to issues impacting the financial performance of operations. RIAM generates probabilistic predictions of performance measures (such as projected earnings or net present value) so that managers can determine "confidence levels" in their critical decision-making processes.
Improving Specific Reliability Management Practices
ABS Consulting can help your organization identify and prioritize needed improvements in your reliability management practices by auditing and/or benchmarking the current reliability practices. We can then assist your organization in developing and improving management practices, such as maintenance and operating procedures, reliability measurement systems, and critical spares and inventory analyses . To do the job, we can lead a team of your personnel, or our personnel can perform this work for you.
Business Interruption Risk and Contingency Planning
ABS Consulting can help your organization understand and prioritize process vulnerabilities that may lead to significant production and/or quality problems. We can then assist you in developing realistic contingency plans to mitigate the potential effects of these problems.
Reliability Program Development
We can work with you to develop management system policies to control and guide your reliability and manufacturing improvement. We can help your organization make the transition from thinking of reliability as a separate activity to incorporating reliability as a way of doing business in your entire organization.
