Making efficiency measurable through integrated quality and prevention planning
Initial Situation: A very large number of assets and components that are to be maintained preventively in order to minimize future disruptions.
Problem: Limited budgets necessitate prioritization of relevant assets and measures.
Requirement: Optimal allocation of limited budgets to assets and measures with the highest prevention efficiency.
Definition of objectives, criteria, schedule, and budgets for prevention planning
Development and coordination of preventive measures, including costs
Determination of the operational importance of assets based on load, past disruptions, and system relevance
Conducting failure forecasts
Conducting impact analyses (measures per failure forecast)
Derivation of a proposed measure with maximum prevention efficiency
Neutral proposals for measures and recommendations for action for planners and top management
Ensuring optimized prevention planning—adaptable to different budget sizes
Shared knowledge of specific failure probabilities in the near future for each asset and component
Coordinated asset priorities for over 20,000 assets
"Finally, we know the impact of the measures in advance and can use the funds in a targeted manner."
The approach is aimed at infrastructure operators with large, decentralized asset portfolios who have previously planned their prevention measures based on experience or rigid cycles.
It is relevant whenever limited budgets require impact-maximizing prioritization and a model-based procedure is sought that can be used across trades and regions and integrated into existing planning processes.
