Approach
PBM has a unique analytical approach that takes advantage of all information available in the various computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) and Work Report (using Text Mining Techniques), to evaluate the efficiency of maintenance strategies and prioritize improvement opportunities. Through optimal use of this information, it is possible to conduct more precise reliability and maintainability analyses, supported by measurable data. It permits a better understanding and representation of the behaviour of the business’s critical equipment, taking into account the impact of the efficiency of maintenance activities. As a result, it improves decision making in the selection of major investment projects required for better reliability and availability.
In addition, PBM approach allows to perform all analyses at the equipment component level, allowing a better understanding of their behaviour and to adjust value-added maintenance schedules accordingly.
Equipment maintainability related information should always be considered a strategic asset for any business operating in a competitive environment. It is a key ingredient in any decision-making process built on fact-based rather than impression-based management.
