RAM Studies

Velimor is pleased to offer Reliability, Availability and Maintainability Studies (RAM studies) to companies requiring an assessment of their system as a way of optimizing their system's operational performance.

RAM Studies are used as a way of assessing a production system's capabilities, both in operation and those still in the design phase. As facilities and plants are being used for longer period of time, a Reliability, Availability and Maintainability Study is able to provide an assessment into the assets life time capabilities and enable businesses to maximize on their return on investment.

A RAM Study can be shown to be broken up into three separate areas:

  • Reliability Services – Predicting the probability in which a system will not experience an unplanned outage;
  • Availability Services – Predicting the probability in which the system is working in a functioning state when required, including both planned and unplanned outages;
  • Maintainability Services – Predicting the probability in which a product / system can be repaired following a failure within a specific time frame.

With the combination of these three services combines into one study, Velimor is able to offer a RAM Study that models the predicted production capabilities of a facility.

The benefits of undertaking a RAM Studies include:

  • A reduction in the maintenance and sparing costs, while maintaining and / or increasing production levels;
  • A decrease in the duration of any unplanned and planned outages;
  • Optimisation on capital investment by reducing the cost of production;
  • Optimisation of capital improvement options at the plant and enterprise levels when improve budgets are constrained;
  • Accurate forecasts of equipment lifecycle costs that reflect the equipment age, duty cycle and maintenance effectiveness;
  • Alignment of maintenance resources based on the criticality of equipment to production revenue.
