7. Our Goal To assist companies in moving from Cost Centered maintenance to Profit Centered maintenance

8. Yesterday It Was: “Cost-Centered Maintenance” • High priority on production • Low priority on performance and maintenance • Insufficient overall cost controls • Inadequate planning/scheduling • Generally poor stores controls • Inadequate labor controls • Inconsistent training • Continuous “fire-fighting” • Constant breakdown maintenance

9. Today It Is: “Profit-Centered Maintenance” • Maximizing output, performance, and safety • Improving operations and maintenance teamwork • Identifying & implementing cost reduction programs • Help establish accurate maintenance equipment records • Optimize equipment reliability • Reduce auxiliary power consumption • Optimize plant resources • Minimize inventory • Improve maintenance management practices

10. PMT Helps You Do the Right Things In the Right Order Through people and solutions, we assist organizations in moving upward toward greaterreliability and profitability

11. First Step Maintenance & Reliability Assessment • Evaluate existing conditions then recommend changes and methods: • Maintenance Management & Organization • Maintenance Metrics • Safety • Corrective Maintenance Practices • Preventive Maintenance Program • Predictive Maintenance Technologies • Lubrication Management • Total Productive Maintenance Program • Root Cause Failure Analysis • Computerized Maintenance Management System • Documents Management System • Planning & Scheduling • Standard Operating Procedures • Outage Management • Contractor Management Practices • Motor Management Program • Maintenance Storeroom • Maintenance Training

12. Predictive Maintenance Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is applying technologies to measure and quantify the condition of equipment providing quality information for management to make quality decisions.

13. Reliability Goals • Help eliminate equipment breakdowns • Provide management tools for meeting plant output and capacity • Help anticipate and plan for maintenance needs • Help Operations & Maintenance to function as partners • Increase profits by lowering plant maintenance costs

20. PowerPlantMDTM:Monitoring & Diagnostics

21. Proactive Action is Key • Superior Performance and Reliability Achieved by: • Ability to Better Identify/Understand/Prioritize/Act on Issues (Greater Proactivity) • Ability to Rapidly Diagnose Source of Issue, Understand the Criticality, and Act in the Most Cost Effective Manner. • Monitoring & Diagnostics Provides a Powerful and Proven Approach for Advancing the Performance and Reliability Mission

22. The Solution: Monitoring & Diagnostics

23. What Do We Mean M&D? • It’s About “Turning Your Data Into Action” • It’s Achievable In-Plant But Long Term Success may be Ensured By Centralized Model • It Uses Data Generation and Presentation Tools to Bring Added Value, But Focus is on “The Process” • The Process Incorporates Best Practices • The Process Engages Cross-Functional Plant Team

24. M&D Solution is a Team Effort • Monitoring & Diagnostics Center • Gathers Plant Operating Data and Filters to Add Clarity • Analyzes the Data in Light of Current Operating Issues and Constraints • Communicates Potential Issues Including Cost and Criticality • Coordinates in-Plant Diagnosis When Needed and Works to Understand Root Cause and Action Plan • Maintain Structured and Prioritized Action Lists to Ensure Issues are Addressed When Appropriate • Power Plant Personnel • Focus on Mission-Critical Activities • Operations/Engineering Perform in-Plant Diagnoses as Needed • Coordinate Resolution of Critical Issues (Immediate & ST Maint.) • Coordinate Resolution of Non-Critical Issues

25. Typical M&D Center Support • Processes • Form Performance & Reliability Improvement Team • Determine Communication Methods and Guidelines • Initiate Anomaly Detection & Diagnosis Process • Initiate Monthly Meetings to Review Issues and Action Planning • Integrate With Other Key Processes, i.e. PdM Program • Tools Utilized • Utilize Existing Historian Data (Process and Equipment Health Data) • Compliment With B&V Anomaly Detection Software • Compliment With B&V Monthly Trend Analysis Software • Shift Reports, Production Reports, PdM Reports, Rounds Data • Utilize Other Available Tools

26. Anomaly Detection & Diagnosis • Pattern Recognition Used to Alarm Statistically Relevant Deviations • Algorithm Uses Automatic Learning Methodology • Steady-State Filtering, Load Bucketing, Multi-Variable Linear Regression • Dynamic Alarming Based on Standard Error Comparison • B&V Reviews Data • Determines Problems • Quantifies Criticality • Issues Recommendation • Coordinates Action Plan • Plant Acts • Operations Troubleshooting • Operational Changes • Critical Maintenance Planned

27. Month/Quarterly Analysis & Review • Automated Data Handling & Charting • Performance & Reliability Improvement Team Meeting • B&V Analyzes Performance Data • Review Low Criticality Issues • Detailed Trend Analysis • Economic Prioritization of Opportunities & Recommendations • Evaluate Long-Term Degradations & Maintenance Plans • Plant Acts • Additional Prioritization • Non-Critical Maintenance Planned
