Stop Unplanned Equipment Failures Before They Impact Production
Reactive Maintenance Is Costing You
Industrial plants across Western Canada often operate in reactive mode — dealing with breakdowns, emergency repairs, and rising maintenance costs.
Traditional maintenance focuses on fixing failures after they occur.
Reliability engineering focuses on preventing failures before they happen — by identifying root causes, asset criticality, and system-level risks.

Who This Program Is For
- Plant Managers dealing with recurring equipment failures
- Operations Managers responsible for uptime and production
- Reliability Engineers seeking structured programs
- Industrial facilities transitioning from reactive to predictive maintenance
- Companies operating aging or high-risk equipment
Program Overview
This program implements a structured reliability engineering framework designed to reduce unplanned failures and improve equipment performance.
It combines:
- Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
- Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
- Asset criticality ranking
- CMMS data analysis
- Predictive and condition-based maintenance strategies
The goal is to move your operation from reactive firefighting to proactive reliability management.
Expected Outcomes
Reduced Downtime
20–40% reduction in unplanned equipment failures
Lower Maintenance Costs
Fewer emergency repairs and improved maintenance planning
Improved Asset Performance
Higher equipment availability and extended asset life
Better Decision Making
Data-driven maintenance and capital investment decisions
Investment
Typical Engagement: $30,000 – $150,000
Final investment depends on:
• Facility size and asset count
• Data availability and system complexity
• Scope of implementation and support required
