MASE:
Maintenance Audit and System Effectiveness
An electronic software tool, designed to make the
job of the auditor easy and to clearly highlight
the strengths ,weakness and effectiveness of the
maintenace functions of an organization.
FBD
(Functional Block Diagram): A software
tool to define in a systematic way the interaction
between various systems in a complex manufacturing
plant,.
Hi-build
(Hierarchy Build): A software to define
the parent-child relationship of different equipment
in a plant

FBD (Functional Block Diagram) tool: IDEF0, developed
by Knowledge Based Systems Inc., Texas, USA.
Integrated Definition for Function
Modeling (IDEF0) is a software standard modeling
technique designed to model the decisions, actions,
and activities of an organization or system.
IDEF was derived from a well-established
graphical language, the Structured Analysis and
Design Technique (SADT).
Effective IDEF models help to organize
the analysis of a system and to promote good communication
between the analyst and the customer.
It is useful in establishing the
scope of an analysis, especially for a functional
analysis.
As an analysis tool, IDEF assists
in identifying the various functions performed and
their complex inter relationships
IDEF0 models are often created
as one of the first tasks of a system development
effort.
Cell Modeling Graphic Representation
The "box and arrow" graphics
of an IDEF0 diagram show the function as a box and
the interfaces to or from the function as arrows
entering or leaving the box.
To express functions, boxes operate
simultaneously with other boxes, with the interface
arrows "constraining" when and how operations
are triggered and controlled.
The basic syntax for an IDEFØ
model is shown in the figure below.
This is an in-house developed tool,
ready for sale.
This software tool facilitates
the user to arrange all the equipment of a plant
in a hierarchical manner, suitable for use while
devising the maintenance programs
This tool allows the user to pick
and choose the equipment from the list and arrange
them at the appropriate hierarchical level
Export facility to MS-Excel format
is available, suitable for porting in any CMMS.

FECAS (Functional and Equipment Criticality Analysis
Software)
This is an
in-house developed tool, ready for sale.
This software tool facilitates
ranking each function/equipment of a plant according
to the criticality derived in terms of Health, Safety
& Environment ( HSE) & Production effects.
The rating arrived for each of
the selected parameters is mathematically arranged
to assign the overall criticality rating for each
function/equipment.
This user-friendly analysis tool
is developed in MS-Access and VB 6.0.
Export facility to MS-Excel format
is available, suitable for porting in any CMMS.
This is an in-house developed tool,
ready for sale.
The Maintenance strategy and Failure
analysis (Hidden / Safety / Evident / Operation)
are obtained using the RCM tree structure.
The failure modes for each type
of equipment are available in the library. If the
user desires, facility is given to add additional
failure modes.
Cause and effect for the selected
failure modes are available in the library. If the
user desires, facility is given to add additional
causes and effects.
For the identified failure modes,
user can select the suitable tasks from the library
or they can be keyed in separately.
For the selected tasks, frequency
and crew can be selected from the library if applicable
Cost analysis for crew, spares
and tools can be done.
This is a user-friendly analysis
tool, developed in MS-Access and VB 6.0.
For similar equipment, data copying
facility is provided.
Export facility to MS-Excel format
is available, suitable for porting in any CMMS.
Reports available
are:
Equipment-wise maintenance
task, frequency and crew
Equipment-wise failure modes,
causes and effects
Equipment-wise crew
cost, spare cost and tools cost
