Understand risk in asset performance management

Technews Industry Guide: Maintenance, Reliability & Asset Optimisation 2017 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

Ensuring reliability in the oil and gas as well as many other industries like energy, chemicals, defence, mining and transport is no easy task. From scheduling maintenance and inspections, to assessing risks of assets, to designing effective processes and performance objectives, there are a lot of factors to manage. ReliaSoft offers numerous ways to simplify and streamline such operations, including solutions that cater to a customer’s specific needs.

How can ReliaSoft make a difference?

Versatile software solutions leverage classical reliability engineering methodologies and existing best practices, coupled with a new and intelligent approach to integration to facilitate, support and enhance reliability activities throughout the product life cycle.

• Identify areas of improvement and increase operational productivity by modelling the reliability and availability of your assets/plant.

• Rank assets based on potential risk to identify those that are critically important to the operation.

• Reduce overhead costs and minimise unscheduled downtime.

• Optimise maintenance plans using reliability-centred maintenance (RCM) and risk based inspection (RBI) principles.

• Minimise future costs by focusing maintenance resources on assets with the highest potential risk.

Improve reliability and maintenance for the organisation

ReliaSoft applications enable engineers to perform multiple reliability-related analyses that help to improve the organisation’s bottom line and reduce the risk of unplanned events.

• Safety: SIS/SIF/SIL, HAZOP, RBI.

• Maintenance: RCM, spares requirements, optimisation and predictive maintenance.

• Reliability: life estimates and root cause analysis.

• Operations: production analysis and simulation.

• Asset health management: ISO 55000, strategy and analysis, and monitoring of KPIs.
