How is fluids analysis used to Reduce Operating Costs?
- Through Predictive Maintenance, Diagnosis, Certification
- Safely extending/optimizing drain intervals and other maintenance
- Detecting inexpensive, minor problems before they turn into major repair jobs
- Making the right repair decisions
- Ensuring efficient use of fuel and energy through improved maintenance
- Avoiding the waste associated with major machine failures (chain reaction failure)
- Improved management of vehicles, equipment and resources
- Avoiding the purchase of “lemon” used vehicles and equipment
- Only paying on legitimate warranty claims
- Getting the fuel quality you are paying for; evaluating fuels
- Manufacturing: Avoiding defects due to machine problems
Why is fluids analysis used to Reduce Operating Costs?
- Fluids analysis yields information about the internal condition of vehicles and equipment that becomes a powerful management tool for controlling operational costs
ROI/Benefits?
- Less money spent on oil, coolant, hydraulic fluid, etc. by safely extending drain intervals
- Labor costs on routine maintenance are better controlled because maintenance activities can be optimized to the actual, internal condition of the machinery
- Labor and parts costs on repairs can be reduced because less major repair work, and rework, will be needed
- Emergency costs, such as overtime, overnight deliveries, subcontracting, “customer service discounts”, rescheduling, rerouting, etc., associated with unexpected machine failures are significantly reduced because the frequency of unexpected machine failures is reduced
- Reduced fuel and energy costs because improved maintenance will cause vehicles and equipment to run at or close to peak efficiency
- Less waste due to defective manufactured goods
- Less money spent on defective used vehicles and equipment
- Less money spent on satisfying non-qualifying warranty claims
- Improved management of money spent on replacing capital equipment by being able to determine the useful life of older components (repair/replace decision model)
- Improved ability to determine the actual effectiveness of modifications and upgrades
- The ability to evaluate the actual quality of fuels during contract negotiations
Profiles of Success
“Our relationship [with Titan Laboratories] for the last few years has been an extremely beneficial one with savings related to oil analysis far exceeding the cost of this program.”
