Predictive Maintenance Program Assessment
For organizations with an existing PdM program, LCE can review the program’s effectiveness to ensure it is achieving maximum results based on available equipment, resources, budget and tools.
LCE's Reliability Engineer will conduct a detailed review of the site’s PdM program, including interviews with key site stakeholders. Our experts will assess your program’s functionality, current processes and progress toward stated program goals to ensure your PdM program is optimized to save you time and money.
The assessment can be customized to achieve the desired results. The overall duration will depend on the size of the facility, number of PdM technologies deployed, and the number of assets included in the program. Although this assessment can be performed as a stand-alone service, it is best leveraged combined with other Reliability Assessment services.
