Why Choose AWB Process Reliability
Process plants face unique reliability challenges — interdependent equipment, shared utilities, buffer constraints and multi-product flows. AWB Process Reliability models these interactions explicitly, enabling maintenance decisions grounded in production consequence rather than equipment-level metrics alone.
Throughput and Production Modelling
Model production flow through complex process networks — reactors, separators, compressors, pipelines and utilities — with explicit representation of buffer storage, recycle streams and product switching. Quantify the production impact of each asset's availability on overall system throughput.
Bottleneck Identification
Identify which process units constrain overall system throughput under normal operation and under failure scenarios. Prioritise reliability investment where it has the greatest production impact — not just where failures are most frequent.
Production Loss Costing
Translate availability shortfalls directly into dollar production loss, applying product prices, energy costs and throughput penalties. Justify maintenance expenditure on a production-value basis and quantify the cost of alternative maintenance policies.
Buffer and Inventory Analysis
Model buffer tanks, intermediate storage and product inventory to understand how storage capacity absorbs equipment downtime. Optimise buffer sizing against the cost of production interruption — a critical trade-off in continuous process operations.
Monte Carlo Simulation
Process Reliability integrates with AWB's Monte Carlo simulation engine — running thousands of scenarios to produce statistically robust estimates of throughput availability, production loss distributions and maintenance cost ranges with confidence intervals.
Industry Application
TMG has applied Process Reliability analysis across oil and gas, LNG, chemical process, power generation, mining and water treatment. Each industry brings different process architectures, regulatory requirements and production consequence profiles — and TMG brings the experience to navigate all of them.
How The Mantua Group Works With You
Every organisation is at a different point in its reliability journey. We match our engagement to where you are — from full hands-on delivery through to training your team to self-sufficiency.
We Do — You Learn
TMG leads the full implementation with your team participating throughout to build genuine capability alongside delivery. Ideal for first-time deployments or when internal resources are stretched.
We Do Together
Our most common model. TMG engineers work alongside your maintenance, operations and engineering teams in structured workshops — combining their asset knowledge with our analytical methodology to produce models your team trusts and owns.
We Train — You Do
For teams building internal capability, TMG delivers structured training covering software operation, methodology, and integration. Available as public courses or dedicated onsite delivery across Australia and the United States.
Independent Review & Audit
TMG provides independent technical review of existing models and regulatory submissions — assessing methodology rigour, data quality and standards compliance. Particularly valuable ahead of AER determinations, investment board presentations or safety audits.
Model Your Process Availability
Whether you need to identify production bottlenecks, justify maintenance investment on a throughput basis, or prepare an availability case for a process capital project — The Mantua Group is ready to help.
