The success of an operation is largely dependent on the performance of its assets. We understand our clients' needs and leverage our experience to develop and optimise maintenance strategies for their key assets. While we specialise in the mining sector, we also support industries such as energy, pulp and paper, and more.
At Ausenco, we understand that a well-structured maintenance plan, focused on asset criticality and accurate forecasting, unlocks opportunities to boost productivity, mitigate risks, and protect the health and safety of people and assets. It also drives long-term savings, optimises resource performance, and enhances overall operational efficiency.
Key services we offer:
Maintenance plans
Our team uses proven processes and methodologies based on a comprehensive data to define optimal maintenance and inspection tasks. We implement tools, such as:
- Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM)
- Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM)
- Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)
- Design and optimisation of maintenance and inspection plans
- Maintenance work management (planning & scheduling)
- Planned Maintenance Optimisation (PMO)
- Shutdown and overhaul management
- Asset management systems optimisation, using Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS), and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)
Asset Criticality
The loss or shutdown of critical assets—whether planned or unexpected—can have major financial and operational consequences. To mitigate these risks, we categorise assets based on their criticality, identifying those vital for operations and those that pose potential risks to health, safety, and the environment. Using a decision matrix and a proven methodology, we help organisations prioritise the optimisation of critical assets. Benefits of this approach include:
- Improved operational availability of critical assets.
- Risk reduction through better management of assets and bottlenecks.
- Optimisation of maintenance and operating costs.
- Enhanced safety and environmental performance related to critical assets.
Our expert team supports operations and maintenance staff in adopting best practices, ensuring informed and swift optimisation decisions.
Budgeting and Forecasting (OPEX - ZBB)
We integrate maintenance plans into budget strategies, offering advanced budgeting and forecasting solutions. Utilising asset management software, we provide visibility and transparency, aiding in short- and long-term decision-making. We also integrate CMMS and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), ensuring proper control of operating budgets and future planning. Our experts have advised maintenance teams worldwide on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), empowering maintenance managers to take full control of their operating budgets.
At Ausenco, we focus on helping organisations manage their assets strategically and efficiently. Our team works to maximise resource utilisation and efficiency, reduce risks and costs, and ensure each asset adds maximum value to operations.
