Solution:
- Began monitoring the MTBF on all seals in the plant.
- When a seal failed, the seal was sent to Crane for a detailed seal analysis to be performed.
- Based on the results from the seal analysis, the sales engineer worked with the customer to correct process related problems.
- Pumps and valves in the system were right sized to match the application.
|
Results:
- Yearly reduction in seal repair costs in excess of $30,000 the first year. Almost 30% reduction of the yearly spend.
- Increased production capabilities based on improved MTBF.
- Decrease in maintenance cost associated with equipment repair.
