The achievement of operational excellence in the process industry depends on two factors, namely: production or manufacturing excellence, and maintenance excellence. Achieving production or manufacturing excellence requires reliable process plant; maintenance excellence requires a mix of maintenance concepts that assures the reliability of the assets at the process plant, and does not entail excessive cost.

Reliability and maintainability are seen as the key feature of operational excellence that can deliver optimum performance from process plants, minimise risks to the people and the environment, and deliver savings in operational expenditure (OPEX).

KK Risk are well placed to guide clients through what can appear to be a complex production and maintenance management processes. We believe that reliability & maintainability engineering is related to loss prevention engineering in the sense that they both aim to achieve sustainable engineering and they employ similar methods of analyses.

By working with a client’s production, engineering and maintenance personnel, we can deliver tailored solutions that cover spares holding prediction, plant downtime forecasting, and optimal overall equipment effectiveness.
