Maintaining power generation is a fundamental requirement for any country’s economy. The cost of enforced outages can be many thousands of pounds. The move towards green energy increases the challenges facing the sector, but the fundamentals of reliability and on demand supply are still applicable. These goals can be achieved through implementing effective asset management and equipment maintenance reliability programmes.

The development of offshore wind farms increases the need for strong planning and predictive maintenance systems, establishing an IIoT strategy and utilising CMMS systems.

MCP has supported natural gas, coal, nuclear and wind generation clients to implement systems and techniques to reduce the impact of outages and reduce costs.

The facilities sector is a large and diverse sector covering hospitals, data centres, office buildings, laboratories, universities and hotels, etc.

The demand on the buildings can vary depending on their usage, however they all have the same goal of delivering safe environments with reliable supporting utilities services. Seen as a support service to the main business, both hard and soft services costs are considered an overhead and are open to constant scrutiny. Outsourcing services is a commonly adopted strategy. Whether in-house or outsourced, the strategies used are the principles of best practice maintenance and asset management which can be applied to ensure that reliable and cost effective services are provided.

MCP have experience of providing advice, outsourcing, and delivering best practice across the range of FM environments.

The global beverage market is the UK’s fastest growing sector with whisky, in particular, gaining huge popularity across the globe. However, the logistics of producing in this multibillion-pound industry are unlike any other food and beverage sector, especially if the manufacturer is looking to expand their product line and keep pace with demand.

In all drink’s companies the maintenance of production lines and associated equipment, is very important to ensure high levels of OEE. This requires effective maintenance and lean manufacturing processes supported by operators and technicians trained to manage and maintain their equipment. MCP work with many of the industry leaders to support maintenance and operator asset care programmes.

Time is one of the highest priorities for every airport across the world, which means operations must be highly efficient and ultimately streamlined, if the ancillary services are not to impact on the customer experience of this busy environment.

Large airports and their infrastructure require a highly optimised maintenance strategy, integrated computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS) and effective maintenance plans. This is to ensure the maximum availability and reliability of equipment as well as the profitability and safety of goods and people. Replacement of expensive assets requires a good understanding of Life Cycle Costing and Asset Management (LCAM) to more accurately support capital expenditure requirements planning.

MCP have a proven track record of delivering effective solutions in this sector, delivering maintenance, asset management, cleaning, organisation development outsourcing and contract management, capital planning, and skills training.

In an increasingly competitive landscape, food companies involved in new product development and manufacture are facing more and more challenges. Many are linked to the production and marketing of final foods or ingredients used in their preparation and relate to meeting changing consumer demands.

Rapidly changing production demands and rapid response to equipment issues are key requirements, underscored by low margins and high costs of equipment downtime. All operating costs are constantly under pressure, so optimised maintenance approaches are required.

MCP work with leading food companies to develop optimised preventive and predictive maintenance programmes supported by OEE improvement programmes and technical skills training.

The context of the healthcare market and the industry’s main priority is the provision of safe and effective products. In this highly regulated environment and sterile manufacturing facility, the demands of compliance to regulatory standards are achieved through robust and efficient production processes. These processes are supported by maintenance programmes which are designed to provide competent operators, reliable equipment, optimised costs of ownership and high OEE levels.

MCP has been supporting the world’s pharmaceutical and healthcare companies for more than 20 years with maintenance and production improvement programmes.

Companies produce industrial chemicals for use in the formation of new substances. Resource scarcity and climate change, technological advances, shifts in global economic power and rising customer expectations are forcing the chemical industry to adjust. They are restructuring their organisations, increasing their customer focus, and trying to build distinctive capabilities that provide a competitive advantage. To support these changes, reliability and low costs are seen as important factors for success. These can be achieved through developing effective maintenance programmes.

MCP have experience of delivering effective maintenance, reliability, and safety programmes along with organisation change and increased output with some of the world’s major chemical companies.

Ports are a vital sector to any maritime country responsible for enabling the effective import and export of goods. They are also responsible for handling passengers, repair of vessels and the construction of offshore equipment. The key demand is rapid turnround of vessels and this requires reliable and safe equipment, often operating in extremes of climate.

Low operating costs are an important factor which are improved through the application of lean principles, effective maintenance and asset management.

MCP have experience of delivering effective maintenance, reliability, and safety programmes along with organisation change and increased output with some of the world’s major chemical companies.

Automotive manufacturers are facing the increased challenges of developing a large modular product offer. Additionally, many different user types are choosing vehicles specified for their individual preferences. Managing this vast level of complexity and product variation presents an enormous array of business-critical challenges.

Ensuring that production lines do not stop is the number one concern. To help achieve this it is important that equipment maintenance is fine tuned to give the most reliable equipment. Using preventive and predictive maintenance and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) tools and techniques produces high levels of uptime and reduced downtime costs can be achieved.
