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;
