The challenge

A North West manufacturing facility is replacing ageing production equipment through a complex upgrade involving several engineering organisations. The new assets need more than a successful installation: the site also needs the information and maintenance arrangements to support them once production begins.

‍

The approach

Embedded within the project, PSW is reviewing equipment and OEM information to develop preventive maintenance tasks suited to the site. The work also covers asset hierarchy and maintenance data for the CMMS, recommended and critical spares, and condition monitoring requirements.

What PSW is supporting

Bringing this work into the project phase allows maintenance needs to be considered before handover. PSW is helping the site prepare a usable maintenance framework for the new equipment and identify potential gaps while there is still time to address them.
