In other words, Better Physical Asset Lifecycle Management (PALM) leads to Better Reliability, Better Results and, most important, a Better Life!
We recognize that life is getting more and more complicated. How can we meet the growing organizational and social expectations that industry has on modern day physical assets? Hyper-competition is forcing OEMs to invest heavily in plant and mobile equipment features and functionality. The exploding growth in mechanization and automation is happening at an alarming rate. Add to this barriers like tightening global competition, increasing adoption of Just In time, shrinking inventory and capital equipment budgets.
Meanwhile, we acknowledge that the typical business objectives organizations insist be met are as follows:
- Keep the Business/Plant Running! (High equipment availability & reliability)
- World-class safety, environmental & economic risk management standards
- Globally competitive product quality
- Risk Culture Change Management
- DFR (Design For Reliability)
- Continuous Performance Improvement (Process, Product & Human Capital)
- PALM (Physical Asset Lifecycle Management) Condition Assessment
- IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), Predictive Analytics, Data Collection
- Process, People & Systems Certification
- Loss Control, Loss Prevention, Defect Elimination & Integrity Management
- Product, Process & Systems Innovation via Methodical Disruption
- Renewable Technologies strategy
- etc.
