Performance Plus offers a specialist rotating equipment management service, which significantly improves both financial and operating performance in any processing industry

With rotating equipment representing a critical element in any processing industry, Performance Plus now provides a specialist rotating equipment management service, which significantly improves both financial and operating performance.

The service offers a bespoke solution tailored to meet the needs of each individual client, and is designed to increase reliability and efficiency, reduce operating costs and minimise the total cost of ownership for the client.

The Performance Plus approach can provide immediate tangible benefits for any type or age of plant.

With equipment reliability typically being increased by 50 -100 percent, Performance Plus undertakes each project on a risk-reward basis, which eliminates significant capital investment costs and effectively makes each contract self-financing for the client.

Each contract begins with a careful study to determine the financial and technical feasibility of providing a solution.

Current performance is benchmarked, reliability improvements are identified and a cost/benefit analysis performed.

Performance Plus then uses this information to implement a proven process of reliability improvement, which tackles the root causes of failures.

Asset groups suffering from chronic failures are identified, and underlying failure patterns likely to affect the general installed base are pinpointed.

Bespoke solutions are then developed to tackle the root causes and eliminate any defects.

Performance Plus places special emphasis on three areas critical to success - the processes used and their environment, the culture and knowledge base in which they operate, and the technology employed.

By examining these factors closely, Performance Plus develops a proactive approach to reducing equipment outages, addressing housekeeping, environmental and operational issues as well as implementing condition-based maintenances strategies.
