Current Practice Review: How to Make Existing Maintenance Programs More Proactive (Inspection-Based)

Using Ivara's Current Practice Review, see how you can quickly take your typical paper or spreadsheet based maintenance inspection program and automate it, converting it to mobile tasks and routes on handheld devices or tablets in Ivara EXP for easy collection and timely processing of condition data. Now the inspection not only informs you as to the state of the asset but also provides information as to how quickly to respond to an observed abnormal condition.

Execution of the maintenance program is sustained with handheld computers, so it initiates a proactive spark as the asset health becomes more visible on the health indicator panel. Once the culture has begun the move from reactive to proactive, it is a straightforward process to introduce more rigorous methods of work identification. Use CPR to achieve some quick results, then later on when performance issues or operating context change dictate a more thorough level of analysis, like RCM or MTA can be used.
