OMDEC focuses on improving equipment reliability by improving the quality of the information that is resident in the users'  Asset Management Systems.  To do this, we have seven steps:

 

1. Data Integrity Consulting - without the correct data, correctly collected and processed, the reliability results will always be suspect and variable.  We have techniques to identify and correct poor data, plus provide practical advice on what data to collect, how to collect it and what to do with it..

 

2. Data Acquisition - we currently focus on bar-coding and its integration to EAMs, ERPs, and CMMSs.  We have work underway to develop intelligent sensors that can be used for on-line condition evaluation

 

3. RCM - we teach, guide and implement RCM, and have a very effective and simple to use RCM software package.  This needs to be tied in to the EAM and CMMS to ensure that the correct data is collected.  In addition we add some crucial elements that modern RCM has ignored.

 

4. Exakt is an intelligent maintenance agent - our results to date have shown: 

 

4.1. a formula for predicting equipment failure

4.2. a graph showing the risk of failure related to the next inspection or maintenance action

4.3. the ability to optimize the decisions based on minimum cost, maximum equipment   availability, or a preferred blend of proactive and reactive maintenance

4.4. remaining useful life calculations

4.5. identification of the high-impact versus low-impact variables in terms of effect on reliability.

4.6. maintenance cost reductions in the 20 - 50% range.

 

Exakt can be used as a one-shot evaluation tool, a periodic analyzer or an on-line monitoring tool.  We also have a service alternative - you send us the data, we send you the results.

 

5. Spotlight is a case based reasoning expert system   Customers are using it as a diagnostic tool for equipment failures, as a knowledge reservoir for operations and maintenance,  as a machine monitor to read, analyse and modify equipment operation on-line and as a help desk support tool.  There are numerous high-profile references available.

 

6. CMMS remedy - up to 70% of CMMSs and EAMs fail to produce value for their clients.  We analyse the problems and provide a plan for the user to fix them.  Our job is to monitor progress and provide technical advice as to how to keep on track.  Our philosophy is that if you do the fixing, the fixing sticks.

 

7. Maintenance Performance Management Systems - not just KPI's, but how to tie them in with corporate and divisional objectives, how to make sure that feedback from the CMMS and EAM properly updates the RCM, Exakt and Solvatio databases.  Plus the change management implications that will ensure that the process does not just fade away.

 

We have a demo disk available - and if you have any questions, please call at any time
