Maintenance, Repair, Operation - MRO

Every business segment is increasingly subject to powerful economic, technological, competitive, regulatory, and environmental forces which require them to control and continuously improve process performance.

To do this, industries –– such as transportation, energy, health and telecommunications –– with fixed assets that experience intensive use over the course of their lifetime must continuously optimize the operational availability of these assets and reduce intrinsic MRO (maintenance, repair, and operation) activities which may cost as much as five times the price of acquiring the asset.

Challenges and solutions

Challenges

Improving asset availability

Optimizing logistical support (replacement part management)
Managing global support (performance indicators and measurements: costs, deadlines, quality, inventory, replacement parts)
Resource planning based on the final asset availability

Reduction of maintenance costs

Controlling of technical data (configuration management, feedback, technical factors, obsolescence)
Reinforcing predictive maintenance (diagnostics, projections)
Optimizing of corrective maintenance and production (operation and resource management)
Applying lean management principles (extended inventory, TPM, TQM)

Compliance with regulations and environmental standards

Managing regulatory and environmental requirements
Tracing activities and materials

These challenges can only be addressed by controlling the company’s technical data repository and MRO processes.

PCO INNOVATION'S SOLUTIONS

At present, there is no suitable software tool that completely and correctly covers MRO activities in an information system. It is therefore necessary to make use of a single decisional maintenance support system that combines:

PLM : Technical and document repository management
CAMM/CAPM : Maintenance and production management
ERP : Inventory and logistics management

In addition to its standard features, PLM can be used to meet the needs of the following MROs:

Configuration management
Change management
Resource and equipment management
Service knowledge management
Service request management
Logistics support analysis reporting (LSAR) management
Provided services catalog
Service plan: needs, frequency, resources, estimates
Tasks and job sheets, accident codes
Work instructions
Maintenance planning and implementation
Reporting and analysis
Compatibility with industrial standards such as PLCS ISO 10303-239, Mil-Std 1388, and GEIA-STD-0007.
