Maintenance engineering includes all of the actions that help constitute and manage the tools that allow equipment to be sustainably managed in order to obtain ideal operating safety for high performances and an optimum life throughout the life cycle of the equipment.
40-30: A GLOBAL MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING APPROACH
In touch with developments in the field for over 20 years, 40-30's intervention teams have helped our customers overcome multiple crises. These situations have convinced us of the importance of devoting our energies to maintenance engineering in order to manage or even prevent such crises.
40-30 now offers a global approach to maintenance engineering on a strategic level (implementation of predictive maintenance and risk management), and in terms of development (AMDEC study and strengthening procedures) and implementation of maintenance policies (planning and cost-reduction plan).
40-30's approach is pragmatic, constantly aiming to optimise costs according to customer requirements (up-time, quality, etc.). Using specific indicators helps us control the action plans in relation to clear objectives (MTBF/MTBM/CoO).
The maintenance engineering approach is vital when designing and when operating equipment. It may come in the shape of various types of studies:
Technical studies
- Reliability study
- Machine-process adaptation
- Refit
Optimisation of spare parts
- Sourcing/qualification of spare parts sources
- Sourcing/qualification of component recycling systems
- Optimisation/sharing of stocks of spare parts
Maintenance methods
- Drafting of maintenance procedures
- Training in maintenance practices, schedules, cost-reduction plans
- Drafting of maintenance manuals for equipment under development
Information system
- Links between databases (prod, GMAO, RH, etc.)
- Suitable graphics interfaces
- Computer workstation integration
Overall project
- Implementation of an internal maintenance service
