Operations improvement is about enhancing efficiency, reliability, and overall performance across an organization. We help clients optimize their processes, reduce risks, and maximize the value of their assets through a structured, data-driven approach.
At Ausenco, we begin by assessing current operations to understand strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement, providing a clear roadmap for achieving higher performance.
Our approach integrates best practices in asset management, maintenance planning, and work management with advanced tools like Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) to ensure maintenance activities are executed efficiently and proactively. This approach supports better scheduling, resource allocation, task tracking, and performance monitoring, enabling organizations to make informed, data-driven decisions.
Work management process
Effective work management also plays a key role in successful shutdowns, enabling better planning and execution through expert support, training, and on-the-job guidance.
Our work management process includes:
- Work identification and prioritisation: Initiated through inspections or monitoring, followed by formal requests in the CMMS and prioritisation based on safety, impact, urgency, and cost.
- Planning: Defining scope, labour, materials, safety procedures, and estimated time.
- Scheduling: Aligning timelines with production plans and resource availability.
- Execution and completion: Performing the work, capturing data, and finalising documentation for follow-up and history.
- Key performance indicator tracking: Monitoring MTTR, Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), work order compliance, and backlog ageing.
- Analysis and improvement: Evaluating trends, enhancing reliability, and refining processes.
By streamlining workflows, optimizing resources, implementing quality controls, and integrating innovative solutions, Ausenco helps organizations achieve measurable improvements in reliability, safety, productivity, and cost efficiency. Through operations improvement, businesses can deliver higher performance, reduce waste, and sustain long-term operational excellence.
