Planned vs Operating by Exception

How do you operate your assets?

Planned Maintenance traditionally involves execution of routines driven by a schedule for all machinery and responding upon an unexpected issue. It could be condition based too, where specific maintenance tasks are scheduled as and when required, a much more reactive approach.

Introducing

Operation By Exception

A pro-active approach

  • Operation by Exception takes a very proactive approach to handing problems before they occur by changing the focus on problem areas.
  • The fundamental concept is the aggregation of various tasks and routines that are required to manage an asset to keep it functioning in a safe and responsible way.
  • The application predicts and provides the routines, tasks and inspections to be performed in an optimized schedule and minimizes downtime by keeping the asset at peak performance.
  • Current and Historical data collected from assets enable a proper fix to some of the problems.

Productivity, efficiency and waste factors

  • Majority of events occur due to human factors including data, lack of an on-time response, inexperience or fatigue.
  • In a completely manual model, over 60% of your time is not spent on maintaining your assets. It is however spent on gathering and organizing the data required to understand the problem and plan how to maintain your assets causing a lot of burden and resulting in wastes.
  • It is also not practically possible to expect human beings to consider every single model and possible best combinations of tasks and routines required to keep the overall effectiveness of your assets.
