ARMS Reliability are highly experienced practitioners in RCM and RCA methodology and have helped many companies throughout the world improve their reliability and asset management programs.

1. Capability Statement

2. CAPABILITIES
ARMS Reliability is a service, training and software organisation providing a “one stop shop” for Reliability Engineering, RAMS
and Maintenance Optimization for both new and existing projects. Our aim is to empower our clients with the knowledge and
expertise to make asset management decisions,that optimize plant maintenance, reliability and availability at the lowest cost and
risk.
We have proven success on RAMS studies for major capital projects where our Reliability experts develop whole-of-life models
including design verification, maintenance plan optimisation, budget forecast, risk evaluation, resource requirements, auto loading
plans and matching technical work plans to Asset Management Systems. For existing plants, our ability to model and optimize
existing plant performance leads to immediate and direct results both operationally and on the bottom line.
Our team of reliability engineers has completed over 400 projects over the past 10 years across mining, power, utilities, oil & gas
and manufacturing for both new and existing operations.
The combination of expert knowledge, powerful software, simple methodology and practical training ensures maintainers and
performance managers can be proactive in managing their assets, use data to identify variation and ensure their equipment delivers
the required level of capacity whilst minimizing risks to the business.
ARMS Reliability are engaged to:
• Perform RAMS analysis on major capital projects to build Reliability in their Design
• Develop optimized maintenance plans and work instructions with criticality, resource predictions, zero based budgets and
implementation roadmap.
• Evaluate their existing plant performance and identify bottlenecks and improvement opportunities, given the configuration,
redundancy, spares logistics and maintenance strategies.
• Help them quantify whether their current maintenance strategy for new or existing equipment is able to deliver the required
business results
• Reduce the high cost of unplanned maintenance
• Eliminate lost revenue caused by unplanned maintenance
• Escape a reactive maintenance culture
• Eliminate recurring problems
• Train them in the latest Reliability methods

3. WHAT DIFFERENTIATES ARMS RELIABILITY FROM OTHER
RELIABILITY SERVICE PROVIDERS?
ARMS Reliability understands that technology and expertise can differ between suppliers, and the ability to provide reliability
consultation services is competitive. The services provided by ARMS Reliability are unique, and help us to differentiate
ourselves from our competition in the market place, whilst maintaining a unique value proposition to our clients.
The information below explains the expertise, technological details and product features that distinguish our supply of goods and
services from that of competitors.
Isograph RAMS Software:
ARMS Reliability sell and support the Isograph range of integrated Reliability Engineering software. These tools encompass
Reliability, Maintainability, Availability, Life Cycle Costing, and Safety Studies. Our relationship with isograph ensures we are
utilizing the best available tools to complete client projects, whilst remaining at the forefront of industry trends and developments.
Mature Software / Mature Implementation:
The Isograph software range has been in use since 1986. These mature software products are in use at over 7,000 sites around the
world. ARMS Reliability have supplied supported and trained customers on Isograph software products since 1997.
Real Data Handling:
Our maintenance studies and tools can assign probability distributions which represent the failure or repair characteristics of a
given failure mode. Failure parameters can be assigned based on knowledge and experience of people involved or using historical
data. This means that equipment and system models can be built by a team for new or existing equipment, and the assumptions
tracked as data is accumulated over time. Alternatively, where failure data exists it can be used to feed the data sets in our
maintenance optimization tools. ARMS Reliability use a Weibull calculator to automatically fit the selected distribution to the data
provided and display the results graphically. Data may be entered manually by the user or imported from other packages such as
SAP, Maximo or Ellipse through Portals
Integrated Spares Handling:
Predicted Spares usage for planned and unplanned maintenance is a key output of our maintenance tools and studies. This
provides for optimized spares holding levels at site, or depot and considers the logistics delay time from the manufacturer,
whether it is repairable, and also if there are multiple sites drawing from the one spares warehouse.
Production Capacity:
Our maintenance studies and tools allow loss of production to be modeled as well system availability. Production flow is
modeled by specifying maximum capacity values for component blocks in the network diagram. A buffer distribution allows
intermediate storage, stockpiles and buffers to be modeled. This gives a direct means of modeling the impact of maintenance
tactics, design, sparing policy and equipment reliability on the production capacity of a plant or fleet.
Forward Predictions:
Our maintenance studies and tools predict budgets, risks, reliability, availability, production capacity, spares over any user
specified lifecycle.

4. Net Present Value in Lifecycle Cost Calculations:
Our maintenance studies and tools takes the output of forward cost predictions as well as other costs such as energy,
operations, raw materials, engineering, disposal, support overheads, etc and considers the time value of money in calculating
the lifecycle costs and comparing alternative scenarios.
