Shutdown and wear parts optimization: the backbone of every shutdown

Shutdown and Wear Parts Optimization serves as the backbone of every shutdown. Our focus is two-fold: Increasing your availability to get your equipment up and running after a shutdown to minimize lost production time; and improving your efficiency by optimizing your process equipment wear and spare parts for longevity and their highest productivity rate.

Metso’s Life Cycle Services takes the entire range of services that Metso provides and bundles them into customizable, easily manageable packages ranging from the basics to more complete solutions, depending on 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:

• Scheduled Inspections
• Shutdown & Wear Parts Optimization
• Shutdown & Process Optimization
• Maintenance & Process Optimization

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

• Not compromising on safety
• Improving reliability
• Improving availability
• Increasing production efficiency
• Lowering financial risk
• Lowering sustained costs

Shutdowns don’t just happen. They need to be measured and improved on a continual basis. If any aspect of a shutdown isn’t synchronized, delays can set in quickly, at which point you risk losing production volumes and revenues.

Equipment shutdowns for planned or emergency maintenance directly impact your production, and it can be challenging to coordinate all required resources, equipment, tools, procedures and schedules. In addition, many suppliers only provide one part of a shutdown package, meaning multiple teams become involved, which can complicate the process.

An LCS Shutdown and Wear Parts Optimization solution means you get one supplier performing all components of a shutdown from start to finish. With this package, we take responsibility for reducing your downtime due to shutdowns over the life of the contract. We also look to improve your efficiency by optimizing your wear parts for longevity and their highest production capacity.

We offer the services you need backed by commercial terms and payment plans that work for you.

• Plan and schedule shutdown based on your task list, using specialized planning tools
• Analyze and optimize your wear parts
• Conduct SMED time-and-motion studies and simulations for safer, more efficient shutdowns
• Meet and exceed all site-specific safety requirements and regulations
• Manage the production schedule and delivery for mill liners and others major wears
• Bring all wears and spares to the site ahead of time and maintain inventory
• Provide all shutdown labour, tools and wear parts optimized through simulations
• Execute the shutdown based on experience gained from thousands of Metso installations
• All elements of our base package are included and contracts are customizable
