Client’s global asset management strategy starts with Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) pilot

CASE STUDY

(1) Asset Cri�cality Assessment (2) Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA)

The company was experiencing asset reliability issues on several coater lines, which are asset intensive and technical in nature.

This was resul�ng in equipment availability and down�me constraints, impac�ng their ability to hit produc�on targets.

Our client is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of float, value-added and fabricated glass products and solu�ons. They

have 25 float plants globally that produce high performance glass for architectural, residen�al, interior, transporta�on and

technical applica�ons.

The company was looking to improve its’ asset strategies by implemen�ng Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) to improve

reliability and availability of cri�cal assets . IE was engaged to execute workshops in:

Root Cause analysis shines light on key issues driving underperformance in material supply

Pilot Approach – IE began by developing tools, organiza�onal awareness and training with the key stakeholders in order to

develop and implement RCM processes and strategies to maintain cri�cal assets on a key float line. This RCM model could

then be replicated to the other areas of the plant and across the other plants around the globe.

1.

52%Percent of evaluated

assets iden�fied and

added to the client asset

registry

By engaging with Implementa�on Engineers on a Reliability

Centered Maintenance pilot, our client has now rolled this process

out globally. The results across the enterprise will be substan�al in

reducing down�me and improving reliability of cri�cal assets

The RCM workshop was conducted on assets based on the results from the cri�cality analysis evalua�ng the top cri�cal

assets. The FMEA executed for the workshop iden�fied maintenance strategies and developed the Equipment Maintenance

Plans (EMP) based on failure modes and the risk criteria of: Severity, Occurrence, and Detec�on; these criteria develop the

overall Risk Priority Number (RPN).

3.

34%Failure modes evaluated

with a high or cri�cal

ranking that were not

being addressed

55%Reduc�on of the Risk

Priority Number (RPN)

based on the FMEA

improvements

The workshops were a�ended by key stakeholders from the sites and the corporate reliability group. Our client is now

working on implemen�ng these processes and tools across the global enterprise.

4.

The cri�cality workshops began with the fundamental elements that need to be addressed: Equipment Hierarchy and

Equipment Data A total of 267 assets were evaluated during the cri�cality analysis The equipment hierarchy analysis

revealed there were 140 assets not included in the current registry

2.

Cri�cality ranking criteria was developed in the areas of: Safety, Environmental, Cost, and Produc�on.
