Rylson specialises in asset management planning and implementation, maintenance strategy development and optimisation, maintenance management, reliability engineering and management, total life cycle planning and management, business improvement solutions, workforce development and training, logistics management, technical documentation and engineering design
solutions.

Mining asset management services

Rylson Group asset management services encompass total life cycle management and total cost of ownership. Life cycle planning is essential to maintain and extend the useful life of assets through the entire lifecycle, from purchase to disposal. We provide detailed life cycle plans including life cycle analysis (capture, collate data), estimation of economic life of assets; preparing plant index and plant hierarchies and forecasts of operational, maintenance and capital replacement and renewal
budgets.

Mine maintenance strategy development and optimisation

The Rylson Group can develop application specific maintenance strategies or plans which include preventative and predictive maintenance, TPM, RCM, and PMO. These plans optimise the tasks that address the causes of potential failure. Typical outcomes are:

Improvement in the effectiveness of the existing maintenance programme
Strategy development from first principles
Improved availability and reliability of the assets
Optimal cost of delivery of the maintenance programme

Plant reliability management

You can improve the reliability of your plant and equipment by adopting the Rylson reliability improvement model, which includes maintenance audits and analysis, data capture, and an evaluation of performance management systems leading to focused maintenance strategies, structured work management system and a disciplined defect elimination programme (RCA – root cause analysis). It also requires the development of assets and conditions parameters and criticality analysis, which assists in
understanding the criticality of an asset to the business. Reliability engineering includes reliability block diagrams and fault tree analysis.

Plant / mine maintenance management

Maintenance management includes two aspects: work management and plant / factory / facility shutdown.

Work management includes workflow process development, using the pipeline model, work management process mapping and development of responsibility matrix. We assist in the evaluation, selection and implementation of computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS).

Shutdown planning, programming and maintenance includes commissioning and project management services.

Business improvement solutions - capability maturity model

Rylson’s capability maturity model provides a framework for organisations to implement improvement initiatives leading to world-class performance; develop innovative solutions for asset management and life cycle planning of plant and machinery; improve workforce efficiency; reduce operating and maintenance costs; provide better asset control through asset performance measurement and improve revenue-to-cost ratios. In adopting the model, a roadmap is set out for developing
organisational competencies based on a logical progression to maturity.

Mine workforce development

Workforce development includes change management, employee redeployment training and training. We develop and deliver tailored courses to improve the performance of personnel, enhance skill sets in operations and maintenance, and provide training in occupational health and safety, risk management, project management, bench marking, and maintenance audits

Inventory management

Optimisation of inventory levels leads to a reduction of inventory and inventory holding costs.

Mining equipment spares analysis

Spares analysis balances the risk of not having a spare component when required against the cost of holding the inventory. The Rylson model is a risk-based decision tool which not only recommends whether there is a need to carry spares but also the when to carry them. This enables optimum inventory purchase decisions as opposed to having a complete inventory at all times, which can impact working capital timing and the life cycle plan for the asset.

Technical documentation

The Rylson Group can develop general specifications, engineering specifications, engineering and maintenance procedures, standard operating procedures (SOPs), maintenance and operating manuals, technical manuals, electronic presentations, on-line help systems, proposals, computer graphics, quality assurance programmes, and position descriptions.

Mine / plant engineering design solutions

Preparation of confidential engineering reports, design of plant upgrades and modifications, preparation of engineering briefs, feasibility studies, and plant design are also available.
