Replacement planning by nameplate age replaces working equipment and keeps failing equipment. Two identical machines installed the same year, one on continuous duty and one on standby, are not in the same condition.
We estimate remaining life from condition trend and actual duty rather than from date of manufacture, and build a replacement plan phased against that. Long lead items are identified far enough ahead to be procured rather than expedited.
The plan states its confidence honestly. An estimate of remaining life carries uncertainty, and a plan that hides it will be believed until the first time it is wrong.
Two plants running the same process need different instrumentation, so we survey before we specify and specify before we price. Tell us about the facility and we will come back with a scope stating what is supplied and where our responsibility ends.
