If an unscheduled intervention in the regular operation of a plant is simply not possible and maintenance measures have to follow a fixed time schedule, a usage-based maintenance concept cannot be implemented. It must be possible to plan maintenance and servicing measures on a long-term basis. This is exactly where Availability Management comes in.
The probability-based system allows the exact prediction of downtimes and downtime durations, which allows planning far in advance and significantly increases the ability to act compared with conventional time-based maintenance. For the first time, you, the operator, will receive advance warning of unanticipated potential machine damage and can thus proactively prepare for it and avoid a costly total loss. This add-on is particularly recommended for operators with seasonal operations.
