Technical Initiatives
Managed Engineering Tasks
Marathon has performed a wealth of managed tasks targeting engineering program betterment. These tasks result in products and control systems that client stations will use well into the future.
In the areas of MEL, CM, and BOM, stations become more able to ensure the right parts and materials are procured efficiently and available to perform maintenance and surveillance of equipment. Stocking and warehousing decisions limit sunk cost of materials while ensuring long lead and frequently used parts are available based on safety significance and location.
In the area of preventive maintenance, benefits include:
- Equipment reliability as a result of incorporating requirements, and industry and station operating experience into the PM bases.
- Rigorously addressing Single Point Vulnerabilities to prevent operations impact and loss of revenue
- Optimized resource allocation, resulting from balanced preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance, and corrective maintenance (on non-safety significant or run to failure equipment), thereby optimizing resource allocation.
