Asset Life Cycle Management
Tormod provides a wide range of manufacturing-related solutions needed to support the full spectrum of Asset Life Cycle Management. Your site’s assets routinely operate for 20-50+ years. Tormod’s solutions are designed to ensure the Asset Life Cycle is safe and earns the lowest possible Asset Life Cycle Cost of Ownership.
Front End Loading
Engage Early in Capital Project Design
You cannot maintain-in more reliability than you have designed-in. Properly addressing two critical subject areas during the design phase is the only way to enable the optimal Asset Life Cycle Cost of Ownership.
Design for Reliability
Ensures that all the asset owner’s technical, regulatory, and business requirements are properly identified, prioritized, and engineered into the original capital project. This process helps ensure excellent Asset Life Cycle safety, performance, and cost of ownership
Design for Maintainability
Ensures that the asset’s design and plant layout account for ongoing maintenance requirements. Some of these requirements include periodic full or partial disassembly and reassembly. Design for Maintainability enables preventive, predictive, and prescriptive maintenance tasks to be completed safely, efficiently, and effectively while minimizing the Asset Life Cycle Cost of Ownership.
