3. Predictive Maintenance | A BearingPoint Accelerator
Market Drivers
Maintenance and service management are becoming important competitive factors. Optimal asset
availability, low failure rates and short downtimes at an optimum cost are factors that determine the success
and failure of all maintenance-intensive industries.
CLIENT BENEFITSOUR APPROACHMARKET DRIVERS REFERENCES CONTACT< >
Competitive pressure
Increased competitive
pressure due to globalization
leads to increased cost
pressure on companies.
Maintenance must ensure the
flexible availability of assets
considering production
demands while improving
efficiency.
Complexity of the value
chain
The complexity of the entire
value-added chain has
increased through global
action. This also affects
maintenance, which has to
deal with new challenges in
order to ensure the
productivity of the company.
Change of customer
behavior
The behavior of customers
has changed due to new
markets. Furthermore, the
product lifecycle has declined
significantly. Customers
require more personalized
services at a lower costs. The
time-to-market has also
declined and thereby creates
pressure for companies in the
long term.
Competitive advantages
Companies have to preserve
their advantages, especially
technology advantages. This
signifies that companies have
to optimize their entire
processes in order to increase
efficiency.
Sustainability
Due to a resource shortage,
rising energy costs and a
changed perception,
companies have to operate
sustainably. Customers
expect companies to act
sustainably.

Challenges
• Due to faulty maintenance programs in
production there are unexpected breakdowns
and there is a 10-14% higher need of energy
• Predictive maintenance should increase the
efficiency of electro motors and avoid
unplanned breakdowns
• Due to obsolete lubricant or lack of
maintenance electric motors lose efficiency
This leads to an increase of energy
consumption and unexpected breakdowns
Our Approach
BearingPoint took part in the development of a
maintenance log about every individual electro
engine, which included all historical
maintenance activities and all necessary
parameters concerning the assets (e.g.
manufacturer, model, serial number,
environment data).
By linking this data with real time data (Internet
of things) and the use of predictive analytics, the
customer was able to recognize inefficiency or
even breakdowns of the engine in the future
Client benefits
The tool and optimization of the process
facilitates the customer in many cases to
forecast the optimal time for maintenance
This data is always available online for the
customer
Due to this, customer satisfaction increased
dramatically and unexpected breakdowns were
reduced by ~25 %
Leading automobile manufacturer
Challenges
• Bottlenecks in the production line
• Shutdowns without obvious reasons: complex
issues require expert knowledge
• Disorders affect profit dramatically and
just-in-time deliveries failed. Therefore,
penalties were the consequence
Our Approach
Optimization of the useful life of an expensive
grinding wheel. The result of the failures are high
downtimes for the production line.
Data from all possible sources: maintenance,
supplier, manufacturing, materials, layers,
upstream production sensors, etc.
Output / target variables: Breaking / no breaking
Client benefits
Pairwise arrangement of certain types of
grinding wheels (vibration test) with specific
process parameters resulted in insufficient results.
Preventive adjustments of the maintenance plan
on the existing limit beyond: savings ~ 0.4 M € /
year

German network provider
Challenges
• Faults will be eliminated after customer calls
the service center
• System information is not analyzed
continuously
• Erosion of the plant can only be detected and
eliminated by on-site inspections
Our Approach
BearingPoint provided a solution with three
features:
• E-Diagnostic to recognize and diagnose
problems and reduce mean time to repair
• E-Inspection to carry out remote maintenance
and reduction of on-site services
• E-Monitoring to monitor the live feedback of
elevators and analysis of faults
Client benefits

downtimes through proactive and continuous
care of plants, provide reliable information for
the customer via different channels and
reduction of pre-inspections due to solving
problems by E-intervention
