Audits & Assessments Services

Companies tend to see maintenance as a necessary cost, often considered low in China (cheap labor, locally-made parts). Priority is being put on new investment, energy savings, safety, etc. seldom seen in relation to maintenance. Experience, on the contrary, shows that maintenance has a dynamic effect on the whole infrastructure. If maintenance is poor, the plant will never reach its full potential, safety risk will increase and the company will not be as profitable as it should be. 

Based on a unique experience combining both industrial maintenance expertise and consulting project in China, Siveco has developed a proven maintenance assessment methodology based on recognized standards such as ISO 55000  (or its Chinese equivalent GB/T 33172): an approach that has delivered results for many facility owners in China.

Maintenance improvement is often not about cutting budgets, but about improving effectiveness: indeed our studies show that you can save more than 10 times more money by acting on indirect costs and losses, i.e. the impact of maintenance on the business. But: where and how? This is the question we can answer.

The assessments are designed to answer such questions as:

• Where and what are you excess costs and losses?
• How to get more ROI from your CMMS/EAM without new investment?
• Is your maintenance aligned with your risk management strategy?
• Identify maintenance improvements and how to deliver them!

In practice, for the typical assessment, two Siveco China engineers will come to your site for approximately one week. For a CMMS/EAM assessment, one engineer will focus on maintenance management, the other on the utilization of the system itself. For a more organizational assessment or a facility condition assessment, the assessment will involve specific industrial skills as required. Onsite work will be concluded by a presentation workshop, followed by report preparation time, before the final deliverables are handed over to the client.

Siveco China has experience conducting assessments in all three target segments: Facility Management (property owners and FM suppliers), Industry (factories in various industry, process or discrete manufacturing) and Infrastructures. Nowadays, in addition to independent assessments, all our projects include a start-up assessment and our "enhanced maintenance contracts" also utilize our assessment practice. The accumulated experience of our team (some of our team members have been active in this field since 1997) is unparalleled in China.
