Maintenance management assessment
Is defined as a comparison between the existing maintenance processes and the maintenance requirements considered satisfactory by the alignment with organizational strategic objectives, best practices, applicable standards, or even benchmarks when available.
This comparison aims to determine, for each assessed topic, the gap between the process found and what was expected. Thus, it is possible to identify the strengths and opportunities for improvement in different aspects of maintenance.
The assessment report contains proposals for the most appropriate organizational, human or technological solutions to improve maintenance effectiveness.
The assessment aims to ensure that maintenance management meets its goals and objectives in alignment with the company’s strategic objectives.
Below are the key results that can be achieved from a correctly performed maintenance management assessment:
- Assurance that maintenance is meeting its goals in alignment with business objectives.
- Establishment of an organizational structure appropriate to the needs.
- Controlling resources effectively.
- Identification of problematic maintenance processes.
- Improved maintenance performance.
- Increased quality and safety at work.
- Improvement of the organizational climate.
- Improvement of information systems to increase efficiency and productivity.
- Development of a continuous improvement culture.

Maintenance Management Assessment
After reading chapter 1 – 3, embark on the Maintenance Management Assessment (MMA). The application enables you as a client to obtain insight into your management function and facilitates the development of targeted initiatives to improve performance.
MMA training is a prerequisite. By training an MMA practitioner, you maximize the opportunity to benefit from the assessment. Alternatively, we can refer you to one of our accredited MMA practitioners.
Asset Performance Management
This web page and web application is a result of the collaboration between J&R Consulting and IME Solutions. (Hyperlink to www.imesolutions.biz). Jose and Dr. Kobus have a long history and their mutual interest in enabling client to improve asset performance made this development simple.
IME Solutions has more than 40 years industrial and asset intensive plant experience. We understand decision-makers’ challenges when trying to sift through the information communicated during daily production and maintenance meetings. Keeping the team engaged and motivated can be challenging, especially when discussions become heated, and opinions are divided. Despite having access to detailed process measurements, quality, and equipment data, it’s often not used to its full potential.
That’s why we developed an AI-based analytical toolset using this abundance of data to provide unbiased insight into issues causing losses. Data generated within a processing plant can be used to understand the outcome of reactions and processes because of the laws of physics and chemistry – the data is not random. With intelligent analysis, one can extract the relationships between variables.
We know that it can be difficult to generate reliable cause-and-effect relationships when plant performance is reported per shift or day, and there are complex variable inter-relationships. That’s why our toolset leverages the laws of physics and chemistry to understand conditions leading to losses.
By using our services, you can increase profitability without spending capital.
Our methodology ensures the active participation of the plant team and integrates their experiential knowledge into project execution. By default, the method aligns the production and maintenance team toward a shared understanding of issues affecting performance. With IME, you can make informed decisions based on data rather than opinions and drive your plant to greater success.
