PM & PdM Optimization
A robust preventive maintenance (PM) and predictive maintenance (PdM) program is crucial for ensuring efficient and reliable plant operations and maintenance.
It’s a strategic investment to improve plant reliability, reduce maintenance costs and optimize resource allocation.

Maximize
Equipment Availability
Implementing failure mode finding tasks will reduce unplanned downtime. Introducing condition-based monitoring tasks will reduce planned downtime.
Identify
Potential Failure
The essence of PM lies in its capacity to uncover potential issues, allowing for timely corrective actions that prevent costly failures.
Maximize
Equipment Lifetime
Proactive maintenance leads to optimal care of the machines, resulting in extended operational lifespan.
Maintenance Strategies
From subjective to efficient and risk-based inspections
We must ensure that the right task is performed at the right time, by the right person, and in the right way. To achieve this, we need to develop failure mode-based PM programs that eliminate subjective tasks and maximize the potential to identify issues.
VISUAL INSPECTIONS – 7 days – Operator – RUNNING
Visually inspect for leaks and breather saturation.
Failure modes covered : Leaking, Noisy, Lack of oil, Saturated breather.
VIBRATION ANALYSIS – 30 days – Vib. tech. – RUNNING
Failure modes covered : vibration.
GREASING – 90 days – Oiler – RUNNING
Lubricate the bearing with an ultrasonic device. (DE: 3 grams, NDE: 6 grams. Type: Unirex EP 2). Failure modes covered : lack of lubricant.
OIL ANALYSIS – 90 days – Oiler – RUNNING
Take an oil sample and send it to lab for analysis. Failure modes covered : Contamination, Degraded oil, wear.
Our expertise covers
Lubrication
Vibration
Visual Inspection & Operator Rounds
Thermography
Oil Analysis
Other NDT
Task Development
Value-added tasks
We document potential failure symptoms for all components and address them with targeted, scheduled tasks.
In our Preventive Maintenance (PM) program, we prioritize tasks performed while machines are running, minimizing downtime from intrusive inspections.
Route Development
Streamlined workflow
Tasks are sequenced logically within the PM route with a standardized list of tasks grouped by:
- Equipment, System or Area
- Skill required (Mec, E&I, PdM, External)
- Equipment status (up/down)
- Task type
- Task frequency
Maintenance Optimization
No more “check pump” or “check motor”
Too often, PM programs are filled with subjective and intrusive tasks. Ultimately, such program does not contribute in actually identifying potential failures.
Our process ensures that each task is objective, detailed and adds value to your maintenance program.
