Case Studies: how we help our clients achieve results

A tank storage provider asked MaxGrip to support the implementation of the company’s global maintenance excellence program that standardizes and automates maintenance in all tank terminals.

One of the world’s leading dairy companies wanted to improve its reduction failure rate and consequently its product loss and cost. This was realized with the implementation of a standardized worldwide Root Cause Analysis (RCA) process.

To support the business and operational processes, and maximize asset availability at optimal cost, MaxGrip helped to set up the Maintenance, Reliability and Turnarounds (MRTA) Tools & Data Program.

MaxGrip optimized maintenance productivity in two stages. First we fixed the basics and optimized PM routines. In the second stage we optimized the maintenance build in CMMS. This saved thousands of man-hours worth over $ 1.75 million year on year.

Heijmans Infrastructure division uses predictive analytics to extend lifespan of roads and lower costs.

MaxGrip’s experience in Oil and Gas and good cooperation with the client, provided effective solutions for cost control and more condition-based maintenance, yielding a Hands on Tool Time reduction of 10,000 hours every year.

For subcontractors, MaxGrip performed a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) study for a major refinery expansion project. Speed was of the essence, and MaxGrip provided rapid EAM deployment.

MaxGrip’s commitment to get things done in the simplest manner made a big difference. Using our own database as a bridging tool, we were able to create the Bill of Materials (BoM’s) and Spares files for a new FPSO in a matter of months.

A German Oil and Gas producer is expanding its asset base and activities. In two pilot projects, MaxGrip laid the foundations for global asset management by standardising the asset management and risk mitigation methods.

MaxGrip developed a strategic blueprint for the maintenance organisation, and a deployment model for the global roll-out to all breweries. Local digital bandwidth is set to make a switch from SAP to Maximo.

The global leading producer of food ingredients wanted to optimize the way of working and increase the maturity level of the maintenance department. They hired MaxGrip to perform an Asset Improvement Mapping (AIM) and deploy the first phase of asset performance improvements.

MaxGrip reduced emergency work by over 50% and downtime by as much as 65% - leading to savings of $1,120,000 in emergency work and $420,000 in downtime savings.

Executing a risk analysis for a booster pump station along with the introduction of APM software, MaxGrip identified opportunities for significant maintenance cost reductions at the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC).

In order to stay attuned to end user needs and societal changes such as the energy transition, a utility company chose to run a Proof of Concept for Risk-Based Maintenance. This gained valuable insights quickly.

For a major upgrade of a Dutch lock complex, MaxGrip carried out a RAMS analysis (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety) to ensure that the designs meet all future operational requirements.

MaxGrip reduced man-hours for inspection and maintenance from 81.000 hours to 18.000 hours – calculated over 12 years. The estimated cost reduction was $848K per year on man-hours alone for the upcoming 12 years.
