Maintenance reliability

At Preditec, we help industrial organizations transform their maintenance approach by implementing reliability-centered strategies. Our goal is to maximize asset availability, reduce operating costs and improve safety by applying methodologies such as Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Criticality Management and Failure Mode Analysis (FMEA).

All our maintenance reliability services

We help you implement reliability-based maintenance strategies to extend the life of your assets, reduce costs and improve decision making.

  • Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

    Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a fundamental methodology for asset management that goes beyond simple failure correction. It consists of an in-depth investigation to identify the factors that caused a failure, rather than just treating its symptoms. It is the key to breaking the cycle of recurring failures and improving long-term reliability.

  • Criticality Analysis

    Criticality Analysis is a strategic process that allows you to classify your company's assets according to their potential impact on your operation. This assessment considers not only the probability of failure, but also the consequences associated with such failure: from the impact on production and safety, to product quality and regulatory compliance. It is the basis for efficient, results-oriented maintenance management.

  • Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA/FMEA)

    Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a proactive and systematic tool used to identify and evaluate the possible failure modes of an equipment, process or system, as well as their causes and the effects they would have on the operation. It is not just a matter of knowing what could fail, but how and what the impact would be.

    It is a key player in reliability engineering and the design of preventive and predictive maintenance strategies.

  • Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)

    Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) is a worldwide proven methodology for developing an optimal maintenance strategy for any type of asset. It is based on understanding the functions of equipment, the ways in which it can fail, and the consequences of those failures.

    The goal is not only to keep the equipment running, but to ensure that it continues to perform its intended functions safely and efficiently at the lowest possible cost.

  • Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) implementation assessment

    Preditec offers consulting services on the implementation of predictive maintenance with vibration, ultrasound, thermography, oil analysis and MCA technologies.

What does our reliability consulting include?

1. Asset Criticality Analysis

We evaluate plant assets according to the following criteria:

  • Safety(impact on people and environment),
  • Production(impact on operating capacity),
  • Maintenance(cost and frequency of intervention).

We assign a specific weight to each criterion (e.g. 35% safety, 35% production, 30% maintenance) and generate a criticality ranking.criticality rankingthat allows us to prioritize resources and efforts on the most relevant assets. This classification is the basis for defining customized maintenance strategies.

2.Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

We identify the possible failure modes of each asset, their causes and consequences. This analysis allows:

  • Determine what can go wrong and how.
  • Evaluate the impact of each failure on the operation.
  • Propose preventive, predictive or redesign actions.

FMEA is a key tool for anticipating problems, reducing unscheduled downtime and improving maintenance planning.

3.Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

When repetitive or critical failures occur, we apply RCA techniques toRCAtechniques to identify the source of the problem. This analysis allows:

  • Eliminate defects permanently.
  • To avoid recurrences.
  • Improve overall system reliability.

We used tools such as the Ishikawa diagram, the 5 Whys and Pareto analysis, supported by CMMS data and interviews with plant personnel.

4.Implementation of Maintenance Strategies

Each asset is assigned the optimal strategy:

  • Reactive (Run to Failure)when the failure does not have serious consequences.
  • Preventive (PM)based on fixed intervals.
  • Predictive (CBM)based on asset condition, using techniques such as vibration analysis, ultrasound, thermography or oil analysis.
  • Proactive: elimination of defects through redesign, process improvement or training.

The objective is to applythe most efficient strategy in each caseoptimizing resources and maximizing availability.

5.CMMS and Asset Management Optimization

We reviewed and structured the computer-aided maintenance management system (CMMS), such as IBM MAXIMO, to:

  • Create a reliable list of assets and materials.
  • Standardize maintenance procedures.
  • Facilitate job planning and scheduling.
  • Record data for later analysis (costs, times, incidents).

Good CMMS management enables data-driven decision making, improves traceability and fosters continuous improvement.

6.Training and Reliability Culture

We provide technical and strategic training for all levels of the organization, including:

  • Reliability fundamentals.
  • Predictive maintenance techniques.
  • Use of CMMS.
  • Culture of continuous improvement (Kaizen, TPM, 5S).

Reliability is not only achieved with technology, but with committed people, clear processes and an aligned organizational culture.committed people, clear processes and an aligned organizational culture..
