Review of Exiting Maintenance
Regularly evaluating and optimising maintenance routines is essential to ensure asset reliability, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
At MCP Consulting Group, we offer comprehensive Review of Existing Maintenance (REM) services designed to assess and enhance your current preventive maintenance strategies, aligning them with best practices and organisational goals.

What is
Review of Existing Maintenance
A Review of Existing Maintenance (REM) is a systematic evaluation of current maintenance tasks to determine their effectiveness in addressing actual failure modes and meeting operational requirements. This process identifies maintenance activities that may be performed too frequently or are misaligned with asset needs, thereby introducing inefficiencies or potential early-life failures. By refining these tasks, organisations can achieve increased reliability and reduced maintenance costs.
At MCP, we specialise in conducting REM assessments to optimise your preventive maintenance programmes, ensuring they are fit for purpose and deliver tangible benefits.

-
By eliminating unnecessary or overly frequent maintenance tasks, REM reduces labour and material costs, contributing to overall operational savings.
-
Industries with significant asset investments, such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, and healthcare, can greatly benefit from REM by enhancing asset reliability and performance.
-
It's advisable to perform an REM periodically, such as every few years, or when significant changes occur in operations, asset conditions, or regulatory requirements.
-
Yes, REM can complement other strategies like Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM) and Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to create a comprehensive maintenance programme.
