Maintenance begins at selection and design, not after an asset fails.
Maintenance & Asset Management
Assets need people, facilities, tools, information, supply arrangements and decision-making systems around them to remain available for the work they were built to perform. Cassowary Group works across maintenance planning, execution, asset records and the supply arrangements required to sustain asset availability.
The operational requirement
Asset availability is a function of how well maintenance is planned, resourced and executed. Reactive maintenance is expensive and disruptive. Cassowary Group works to establish maintenance systems that keep assets available, extend their useful life and reduce unplanned downtime.
What Cassowary Group does
Connected capability
Maintenance & Asset Management connects with Infrastructure (facility and asset maintenance), Transport & Logistics (fleet maintenance), Procurement, Offtake & Supply (spare-parts supply), Systems & Technology (maintenance systems and monitoring) and Workforce & Operations (maintenance workforce).
Delivery structures
Depending on the requirement, Cassowary Group may establish and operate maintenance systems, manage maintenance workforce and supply arrangements, coordinate OEM service relationships, or integrate maintenance capability within a wider operating structure.
Cassowary Group works with appropriate specialist providers, OEMs, contractors, suppliers and operators. The Group does not perform every function internally.
Typical requirements
New operation requiring maintenance establishment
A new operation requires a maintenance system established from the ground up — workforce, workshop, tools, spare parts, scheduling and asset records.
Fleet with poor availability requiring improvement
A transport or mining fleet has unacceptable downtime. Cassowary Group identifies the maintenance constraints and restructures the maintenance system.
Ageing asset base requiring lifecycle planning
An operation has an ageing asset base with increasing maintenance costs and reliability risk. Cassowary Group develops a lifecycle plan covering maintenance, renewal and replacement.
Shutdown planning and execution
A planned shutdown requires coordinated maintenance, inspection, repair and recommissioning across multiple assets and systems.
Cassowary Group works with OEMs, parts suppliers, specialist maintenance contractors, workshop operators and technology providers as part of its maintenance and asset management operations.
