Analysis and Optimisation of your Maintenance
According to DIN 31051 the maintenance of a technical system includes all measures for its diagnosis, preventive service and remedy work. This process is highly complex, but also includes a great potential for improving the costs and availability.
Your benefits:
You can lower your maintenance costs substantially by making use of the reliability-based maintenance. Alternatively it helps you to increase the availability of your technical product, service or process..
The subject of maintenance is extremely multi-faceted and at the same time company-specific. Ready-to-use software cannot always be applied to your situation. Therefore we provide basic tools as modules. They can be used for your company-specific requirements. Their modification and compilation will help you create software which is tailored to your needs. This customised software will assist you in the planning and organisation of your maintenance and recommend decisions for advancement.
The jobs that IZP-basic tools can do can be broken down as:
Calculation and Ensuring of Availability
- momentary availability
- permanent availability
- task availability or interval reliability
Planning of spare parts and repair work capacities
- mean number of spare parts
- ensured spare part quantity
- spare part quantities for fleets
- lead times
- decisions on stocking
Preventive or corrective maintenance
- operating costs and ideal replacement time
- sensitivity of operating costs
- definition of periods with corresponding plan of action
- choice of maintenance policy
- economic operating life
Development of failure types over time
- planning of diagnose at optimal costs
- definition of maintenance intervals and packages
- operating reserve
Applications:
A vehicle is taken to a garage (maintenance schedule) at given times. There the agreed service is rendered, but
time buffer for operational measures still remains afterwards.
Therefore the decision has to be cost-based: Should preventive exchange of certain components be carried out immediately
or can it put off until the next garage maintenance?
With the help of our software modules you can solve this and other problems.
