Ensuring optimum plant reliability at optimum cost

Asset Smart focuses on achieving cost effective plant and equipment reliability through the application of leading asset management practices. The goal is to eliminate unnecessary work by ensuring that essential maintenance is performed on time, to a plan and to a standard. Achieving this goal has proven to deliver sustainable reliability improvement at the lowest cost over the life of the asset.

From experience we know that companies already do many activities well. So the first step of Asset Smart is to identify what is currently working well then only focus on those elements where there is identified opportunity for improvement. The benefit of this approach is that employees maintain a degree of familiarity with the processes, which makes the change journey much smoother resulting in faster return on your investment.

Asset Smart can also assist with complex failure investigations to help you eliminate repeat breakdowns of business critical assets. All failures tell a story and we follow a proven root cause analysis process that focuses on the facts about the failure to arrive at an optimum solution. In some cases where more than one solution is available we can break these down to arrive at a cost-effectiveness ranking based on benefits and ease of implementation.

Giving you the skills for continued improvement beyond our involvement

A key element of the Asset Smart approach is to involve client personnel in our work on site whenever possible. This ensures that the improvement cycle continues beyond the involvement of Asset Smart. For planners and supervisors it also provides hands-on training and enhances the skills of these key front line people.
