Description:

The Plant Maintenance Optimization (PMO”) process is a highly efficient RCM methodology being widely and successfully applied throughout Petroleum and Petrochemical Industries. The PMO” approach to maintenance plan development is based on reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) principles. The overall process is depicted in Figure 1. This process ensures that the resultant program is focused on maintaining the desired functionality of plant systems. This process also identifies equipment that is most cost-beneficial to allow to “run-to-failure” due to the low economic, safety, or environmental impact of failure. In this way, the process yields a maintenance program with the lowest base cost (pro-active and reactive cost). This is considered an “optimum maintenance program.” It is also important to note that the approach allows the user to define a Proactive Maintenance (PM) program based on their business philosophy, and to clearly know how and why assets are orare not critical to business objectives. This directly facilitates scheduling and planning tasks such that a clear, definitive priority can be assigned to PM (predictive, preventive, failure finding, etc.) tasks as well as reactive tasks, Additionally, this functional approach properly identifies PM tasks for all types of equipment that support a function (i.e., electrical, mechanical, and I&C).
