Protect your assets
ABB Group provides an asset management perspective
on the challenges faced by the life sciences industry.
Fn the 1980s and 1990s, after years of a lack
of
investment, chemical and petrochemical companies
were grappling with infrastructure that had deteriorated
and was in poor condition. Failures of over-stretched
assets
such as pipe bridges, utilities and electrical
distribution systems
were causing loss of production and required unplanned
and
expensive remediation. As life science companies
rationalise
capacity and extend timescales for manufacturing
assets they
will increasingly face the same issues. This challenge
is further
compounded by the variety and diversity of assets
and
standards resulting from ongoing merger and acquisition
activity in the sector.
ABB Engineering Services has a tried and tested
approach to
asset assessment and asset life planning and costing.
ABB’s
Reliability and Integrity Management Excellence
(pRIME)
programme helps clients achieve sustainability
and reliability
from assets.
The pRIME programme is applicable across all industries
and
can help life science companies address asset
issues. It can be
applied at a strategic
level or at a detailed
level. In so doing it
can provide:
- licence to
operate – technical
justification for
operating equipment beyond its design life
- stakeholder confidence in continued safe
and reliable operation
- value added from avoiding production loss,
unnecessary expenditure, and from improvements
made
- investment information to plan future CAPEX
and OPEX requirements for assets.
