BI-Cycle Analysis analyses groups of equipment/assets that the user selects in the data warehouse, offering unsurpassed flexibility, speed and clarity. Within seconds, the user has all relevant maintenance and reliability measures at his disposal for every asset in his plant (600,000 or more assets is not unusual).
BI-Cycle Analysis provides four powerful analysis functions:
Standard OLAP produces maintenance history OLAP reports with clarifying and easy to understand charts and drilldown grids.
(Key) Performance Indicators calculates maintenance indicators, identifying key problem areas such as components with high numbers of maintenance-induced failures, or the component manufacturer with the highest mean repair time. You can sort equipment or components according to these measures, enabling the compositions of various top 10′s. For example:
- Number of failures
- Trend in failures
- Maintenance costs
- Highest percentage corrective maintenance
- and more….
Advanced Analysis assists in optimising maintenance plans. This function compares the results of different Preventive Maintenance programs on similar equipment to deduct optimal maintenance intervals. To find the optimal maintenance tasks per equipment; among others, it calculates reliability statistics on different failure modes (FMECA table), Weibull fits and Survival functions.
RCM Wizard offers an intuitive stepwise RCM and RBI based approach supported by a plant’s own operating history.
- step 1: Determine all possible failure modes for a group of equipment
- step 2: Establish the consequences on health, production and safety
- step 3: Identify the corrective jobs and their costs to countermeasure those failure modes
- step 4: Logically (LTA) determine the preventive maintenance jobs and their interval to avoid the critical failure modes
- step 5: Compare the maintenance alternatives (i.e. the mixture of preventive jobs, condition monitoring and run to failure politics) with regard to direct maintenance costs and plant availability
The implemented maintenance decisions are stored such that a link to the ERP/MMS is preserved. The tool comes with a Web based project administrator to integrate project results and decisions on the company Intranet.
