Following analysis of fault data, Knowledge Based Management, a WSP Group joint venture with Lloyds Register, were commissioned by Keith Elliot, Head of Facilities Management at Royal Mail to reduce the operational costs and the reactive workload of managing over 500 lifts within its asset portfolio.Within six months this has resulted in increased availability of critical lift systems due to a 50% reduction in breakdowns. Planned maintenance costs were also reduced by over 50% over the same period, with no lessening of service. Knowledge Based Asset Integrity (KBAI) has been developed by WSP in joint venture with Capstone Engineering Services to deliver significant savings in maintenance costs for companies with large property assets to manage. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
