Sherpa's specialist reliability and asset management services can help you maximise production throughput, provide cost effective safety shutdown systems, upgrade and improve plant processes, maximise the effectiveness of plant maintenance and identify causes of plant failures. Reliability and Availability Modelling analyses systems to identify causes of plant downtime and loss of production capacity using Fault Tree Analysis, Monte Carlo simulation and Weibull analysis. SIL Assessments to AS/IEC 61508/IEC 61511 use the latest functional safety methods, such as those in IEC61508/IEC61511, to identify potential hazards and control methods. Specifies the integrity requirements for safety shutdown systems. Development of Safety Report Specifications (SRSs). Life Cycle Cost Analysis estimates future benefits in financial terms of increased availability and
capacity, and assess the return on investment. Ensures that the maximum benefit can be gained from capital expenditure. Asset Management uses risk based inspection and maintenance methods to identify critical plant items requiring maintenance to develop preventative, rather than reactive, methods. Failure Analysis undertakes failure mode and effects analysis and root cause analysis to identify critical plant failures and methods for improving reliability. Analyses plant failure data to identify 'early life' and wear-out failure mechanisms.
Optimise processes and identify potential
weaknesses.
