Maintenance and process optimization keeps maintenance costs in check

Metso’s Life Cycle Services take the entire range of services Metso provides and conveniently bundles them into customizable, easily manageable packages, ranging from the basics to more complete solutions, depending on the scale of your needs. The packages are equipped to cover a single-event shutdown or span multiple years, measured against strict key performance indicators (KPI).

The four packages are:

1. Scheduled Inspections
2. Shutdown & Wear Parts Optimization
3. hutdown & Process Optimization
4. Maintenance & Process Optimization

LCS packages are designed to help you meet your goals by addressing six core elements:

1. Not compromising on safety
2. Improving reliability
3. Improving availability
4. Increasing production efficiency
5. Lowering financial risk
6. Lowering sustained costs.

Maintenance and Process Optimization

Once your process is achieving its best productivity rates and shutdowns are running as planned, the next step is reliably maintaining performance levels while keeping maintenance costs in check. To do this, putting industry-standard maintenance strategies in place, supported by proven reliability engineering tools, becomes critical.

Keeping track of evolving supplier products, however, can be challenging. Each has its own maintenance schedule, procedures and safety considerations, which can make planning problematic. All it takes is one weak link in your maintenance plan to trigger unnecessary equipment failure, shutdown delays and lost production.

An LCS Maintenance and Process Optimization solution means you get one supplier helping you not only get the most out of your shutdowns, but also supporting you in the development and efficient delivery of a comprehensive Maintenance Strategy.

An industry-best Maintenance Strategy brings together all the necessary safety, planning, documentation, inventory, staffing and reporting requirements, focussing on your greatest areas of need to give you reliability and the most bang for your buck. We provide you with maintenance expertise from hundreds of Metso-supervised sites worldwide, our Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) knowledge and access to our globally benchmarked maintenance data. All of this is backed by commercial terms and payment plans that work for you.

• Conduct a Criticality Analysis study to determine which equipment to focus on
• Analyze failure modes for your most critical machines using FRACAS and other tools
• Implement Metso Maintenance Solution, a custom Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software
• Examine optional custom-engineered solutions using Reliability Availability Maintainability (RAM) tools
• Develop KPIs together with your team and measure the plan’s performance against them, looking for areas to improve
• Create Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) plans based on world-class practices
• Load related procedures and manuals in the CMMS document library for easy access
• Schedule and establish trained crews, inventory and tooling needs
• Create maintenance plans detailing info on all tasks, safety requirements, permits, labour, parts and tools to be loaded into the CMMS

Extra Features:
