Reliability and Maintainability Analysis
Maximising plant availability, performance and condition for minimum
maintenance costs, can be achieved through the application of Reliability and
Maintainability Analysis (RMA) engineering. These interdependent
engineering disciplines are applicable over the entire life cycle of
systems/equipments from initial definition and specification through design,
development, production and in-service phases of equipment life.
The purpose of RMA engineering is to provide an intentional and optimal
balance between in-service availability, performance, safety and durability for
a given cost.
Specifically, RMA engineering can achieve the following:
Key Benefits
- Provide a quantitative means of specifying to the designer, manufacturer
or supplier - the user requirements for availability (combined effect of
reliability and maintainability) and safety.
- During design and development, provide a means of predicting the
in-service availability, safety and selected logistical support requirements
(e.g. facilities, documentation, test equipment, tools and manpower) of the
equipment under specified operating and environmental conditions.
- Produce cost benefit analysis reports, which quantify the life cycle
costs associated with equipment proposals.
- During in-service life, provide a means for the analysis of unexpected
or unacceptable availabilities and so allow the upgrading of maintenance and
operating procedures; and the modification of equipment where necessary.
Capabilities
Our services in the engineering disciplines of reliability and
maintainability:
- Specifications and Plans
- Develop reliability, maintainability and safety specifications and plans
for the acquisition of new equipment or upgrading of existing equipment.
- Demonstrations and Tests
- Develop reliability, maintainability or safety demonstration programmes
or tests.
- Processes and Tolerances
- Provide a means of defining the optimum processes and manufacturing
tolerances to ensure reliability, maintainability and safety specifications
are achieved in-service.
- Maintenance Analysis
- Conduct on-site maintenance analyses to determine sources and causes of
unreliability and recommend alternative maintenance schedules and
procedures, alternative operating procedures or changes to the operating
environment, and equipment design improvements to reduce or eliminate the
causes of unscheduled downtime.
- Failure Monitoring
- Specify and install failure-monitoring systems to collect failure data
for ongoing analysis and correction programmes.
- Logistic Support Plans
- Develop logistic support plans based on design reliability,
maintainability and safety analyses and predictions.
- Management Programmes
- Develop programmes for the ongoing management, analysis and prediction
of reliability, maintainability and safety of systems/equipments.
