Availability figures are quoted at every plant and computed differently at each. What counts as downtime, what counts as planned, and whether standby time counts at all vary enough to make comparison useless.
We define these once and compute them identically, then report availability, mean time between failures and downtime cause consistently across plants and equipment classes. Comparing the same pump model across eleven sites reveals more about installation and operation than any single site's data can.
Cause attribution is where this earns its keep, and where it takes discipline: a downtime reason of 'breakdown' tells you nothing.
Two plants running the same process need different instrumentation, so we survey before we specify and specify before we price. Tell us about the facility and we will come back with a scope stating what is supplied and where our responsibility ends.
