Services We Offer
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a structured approach used to ensure that physical assets continue to perform their intended functions in their operational context. It is primarily used in industries where asset reliability is critical, such as aerospace, manufacturing, transportation, and energy.
The key principles of Reliability Centered Maintenance include:
- Functionality: Understanding the intended functions of the asset within its operational context. This involves identifying what the asset is supposed to do and what its operational requirements are.
- Functional Failures: Analyzing potential failure modes and Functional Failures that can occur within the asset. This step involves identifying all the ways in which the asset could fail to fulfill its intended functions.
- Consequences of Failure: Assessing the consequences of each identified failure mode. This includes understanding the impact on safety, operations, production, environment, and costs associated with each failure.
- Maintenance Strategies: Selecting appropriate maintenance strategies to manage the identified failure modes. These strategies can include preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, run-to-failure maintenance, or a combination of these.
- Optimization: Optimizing maintenance tasks to ensure they are effective and efficient in preventing or mitigating failures. This step involves balancing the costs and benefits of maintenance actions.
- Documentation and Feedback: Documenting the RCM analysis and strategies implemented, and continually reviewing and updating them based on feedback and new data.
RCM aims to improve asset reliability, reduce maintenance costs, optimize maintenance intervals, and enhance safety and operational performance by focusing maintenance efforts on critical assets and failure modes. It emphasizes a proactive approach to maintenance rather than reactive, ensuring that maintenance tasks are targeted where they are most needed.
Availability Simulation
Availability simulation is a methodical process used to assess and predict the availability of systems, equipment, or processes under various operational scenarios. It involves using computer models or simulations to simulate the behavior of the system over time, considering factors such as reliability, maintainability, repair times, and operational demands.
Key aspects of availability simulation include:
- Modeling System Behavior: Developing mathematical or computational models that represent the system’s components, their interactions, and how they degrade or fail over time. We use a Monte Carlo approach which mimics the possible lifetime of the asset over and over.
- Reliability and Failure Data: We incorporate failure data on component reliability (probability of functioning without failure over time), maintainability as well as estimate the time and resources required to repair or restore (ease and effectiveness of maintenance actions), and when needed we can also provide for variable repair times (time required to restore functionality after a failure).
- Operational Profiles: Our simulation results define the operational scenarios or profiles that your system will experience, including usage patterns, environmental conditions, spare parts usage, logistic delays, and stress levels.
- Simulation Execution: Running simulations based on the developed Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) models and input data to predict the system’s availability metrics under different scenarios which we analyze for you including adding redundancy or better quality componentry. This helps in understanding how the system performs over time and identifying potential availability bottlenecks or improvement opportunities.
- Analysis and Optimization: Analyzing the simulation results to identify critical components or subsystems that affect overall availability the most. This is called the “Importance Factor” and is a focus point of decisions to improve where the biggest bang for your buck is forecasted to rest. Optimization of your maintenance strategies may be proposed to improve system availability, such as adjusting maintenance schedules, enhancing reliability of critical components, or optimizing operational procedures, all of which can be simulated and tested on the desktop.
- Validation and Verification: Validating the simulation results against real-world data or historical performance to ensure that the model accurately represents the system’s behavior and that the predictions are reliable we compare and contrast the model with your actual performance.
Availability simulation is particularly valuable in industries where downtime or interruptions can have significant consequences, such as mining, manufacturing, transportation, energy production, and telecommunications. By using simulations to sample the effectiveness of the maintenance strategy, organizations can proactively manage and optimize their assets to maximize availability, minimize downtime, and improve overall operational efficiency and demonstrate they are doing so scientifically!
Fault Tree Analysis
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a systematic and graphical method used to analyze the causes of faults (failures) within a system. It starts with a top-level undesired event and works backwards to identify all possible causes or combinations of events that could lead to the undesired outcome. FTA is widely used in various industries including engineering, safety engineering, reliability engineering, and risk management. Our methods and software are industry proven.
Here are the key components and steps involved in Fault Tree Analysis:
- Top Event: The top event is the undesired event or failure that is being analyzed. It is placed at the top of the fault tree diagram.
- Basic Events: Basic events are the lowest level events in the fault tree that directly contribute to causing the top event. They are typically represented as nodes in the diagram and are connected to each other through logical gates.
- Logical Gates: Logical gates (AND, OR, and NOT gates) are used to depict how basic events combine to cause higher-level events in the fault tree. These gates determine the logical relationships between events.
- AND Gate: Represents that all input events must occur for the output event to occur.
- OR Gate: Represents that at least one of the input events must occur for the output event to occur.
- NOT Gate: Represents the negation of an event.
- Analysis Process:
- Constructing the Fault Tree: Start with the top event and systematically identify all possible events or conditions (basic events) that could contribute to causing the top event. Represent these events in the fault tree using logical gates to show relationships.
- Quantitative or Qualitative Analysis: FTA can be performed qualitatively (to understand the logical relationships between events) or quantitatively (to estimate probabilities and failure rates if data is available).
- Identifying Critical Paths: Identify critical paths or combinations of events that could lead directly to the top event. These paths highlight where interventions or improvements could be made to prevent the top event from occurring.
- Risk Assessment: FTA helps in assessing the risk associated with the top event by understanding the contributing factors and their probabilities.
- Benefits: Fault Tree Analysis provides a structured approach to understanding complex systems and their failure modes. It helps in identifying critical points of failure, designing effective preventive measures, and improving system reliability and safety.
FTA is often used in combination with other techniques like Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to comprehensively assess and manage risks within systems or processes. It is a powerful tool for engineers and analysts to systematically analyze potential failures and design robust systems that minimize the risk of failures leading to undesirable outcomes.

Asset Management
Asset Management requires a lot of discipline and organization to manage the various points articulated in ISO 55000 the standard for Asset Management Systems. While not every organization considers this as a certification journey, every organization benefits from applying the principles of Asset Management described in ISO 55000 if applied in a fundamental and structured way.
While Asset Management disciplines span cradle to grave, most of the lifetime of an asset is during its operational lifetime when the asset maintenance strategy (a.k.a. maintenance strategy) and the work execution management cycle (WEM) dominate the assets success.
One size does not fit all, OEM recommendations are often not optimized for our specific operational context, and we have found fundamentally that some Asset Strategy Management (ASM) methods cannot successfully be applied in the same organization on the same make and model of an asset when their optimization and application is dependent upon local factors, currencies, spares logistic costs, and site maturity to name a few.
Asset Reliability
Asset reliability refers to the ability of a physical asset (such as equipment, machinery, infrastructure, or facilities) to perform its intended function effectively and efficiently over its operational lifecycle, under normal operating conditions. It is a crucial aspect in industries where downtime, failures, or interruptions can have significant operational, financial, or safety consequences.
Key aspects of asset reliability include:
- Functionality: The asset must consistently meet its intended purpose or function without deviation or degradation in performance.
- Availability: The asset should be available for use when needed, without unexpected downtime or failures that disrupt operations.
- Performance: The asset should operate at its optimal performance levels, meeting or exceeding specified operational requirements and productivity targets.
- Maintainability: The ease and effectiveness with which maintenance activities (both preventive and corrective) can be performed on the asset to restore or maintain its reliability.
- Reliability Metrics: Metrics such as Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), and other key performance indicators (KPIs) are often used to assess and measure asset reliability.
Achieving high asset reliability involves various strategies and practices, including:
- Proactive Maintenance: Implementing preventive maintenance programs based on asset condition monitoring, predictive maintenance techniques, and reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) strategies.
- Asset Management: Utilizing asset management practices to optimize asset lifecycle costs, monitor asset health, and prioritize maintenance activities based on criticality and risk.
- Root Cause Analysis: Investigating and addressing the root causes of failures to prevent recurrence and improve overall asset reliability.
- Continuous Improvement: Applying continuous improvement methodologies (such as Lean Six Sigma) to enhance asset performance, reliability, and operational efficiency over time.
Effective asset reliability management not only minimizes unplanned downtime and maintenance costs but also enhances overall operational efficiency, ensures regulatory compliance, and improves safety and environmental performance. It is a fundamental component of asset-intensive industries aiming to maximize the value and longevity of their physical assets.

Failure Data Analysis
Failure Data Analysis is a completely reactive program beset with many complications and trouble. We often hear, “our data is no good”, to which we reply – do you know why?
Often the answer is deferred to someone who should do something better, deflecting the responsibility from the underlying failed design of the data collection of asset failure data.
Most engineers do not seem to know when they have left truncated data, or right censored data, or informatively censored data, nor do they know how to deal with it, and which software program provides accurate results.
We work with the world experts on this topic, and in fact DO know how to deal with the most complex of failure data correctly.
More important is how to properly cleanse and analyze the data to obtain an accurate result. Far too often we learn of engineers throughout industry applying the wrong approach for their specific type of failure data, which of course generates incorrect results.
As the assumption of the underlying failure mode performance is the topic most maintenance strategy management and optimization programs are built upon, getting this part of your program wrong leads to under optimized maintenance, resulting in more than anticipated failures, which need more failure data collected.
If you are using a forward prediction program either for maintenance optimization of capital renewal decisions, talk to us, the challenges of getting this analysis right are complex, but we can guide you through the successful analysis and predictions needed.
Let us help you break the cycle.
Photography
