Asset Reliability and Management Solutions for the Chemicals and Plastics Industries
Faced with markets that are often oversupplied, chemicals and plastics operations must remain adaptable to conditions and mercurial customer demand. These factors, paired with regulatory pressures and consumer demands for increasing quality, cut into profits and make unscheduled downtime unacceptable.
What Hurdles Do Plants Face?
Plants range from brand-new to decades old and are often operated by personnel that are deeply ingrained in approaches that are “industry-standard” but not based on best-practices.
Facilities frequently rely on antiquated computer maintenance management systems and enterprise asset management (CMMS/EAM) that are not adequately integrated with condition monitoring tools and other preventive maintenance technologies.
A lack of real-time insight into preventive maintenance data can lead to deferred maintenance and missed opportunities to fix small problems before they become big ones.
These hurdles are worsened by ineffective store room inventory management practices. On any given work order, industrial maintenance personnel may lack what they need for efficient equipment repair.
