Best Practice EAM...

. . . in the Design-Build Phase [Development, Construction and Commissioning] of New Capital Assets Projects/Programs

Based on our expertise in EAM, Reliability and Enterprise systems, NDS is uniquely positioned to provide Best Practice recommendation and consulting services for organizations who are Developing and Engineering Capital Assets across the spectrum from one-of-a-kind (for example a trans-continental pipeline or unique chemical plant) through to mass production (for example locomotives or rail cars).

These services are detailed in our presentation Benefits of Utilizing EAM and Reliability Best Practice Early in the Life-Cycle of Capital Projects.

These services include:

The benefits of doing this reliability planning work early in the life-cycle can be enormous. These run for the full life-cycle of the plant — possibly thirty to fifty years or more — and include:

Following these best practice recommendations can have a dramatic effect. We have all experienced operating and maintenance crews in the early days of operating a new plant faced with learning how to operate and maintain assets while trying to develop a maintenance management program, find the manuals etc.

The technologies and best practice are available and well-understood to approach new asset design/development/construction and commissioning in a far more effective manner from an EAM/Reliability perspective. The payback on any large facility or capital asset program can be in the hundreds of millions of dollars giving a very high return on investment as the initial outlay is not large in comparison to the overall capital investment.
