Case Study: Beverage Manufacturer achieves 19% cost savings with ARMS Reliability maintenance optimization

Maintenance Strategy Optimization Saves Manufacturer 19% Annual Cost

Beverage Manufacturer worked with ARMS Reliability after experiencing downtime and wasted product from issues with a bottle filler machine. The company needed a better way to manage maintenance on critical equipment while controlling costs and protecting daily production targets.

ARMS Reliability performed a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) study, including FMECA analysis and lifecycle simulation of multiple maintenance scenarios, to optimize the machine’s maintenance strategy. The result was a maintenance plan tailored to specific failure modes that reduced average annual costs by 19%, while also identifying cost and risk drivers, improving budget forecasting, and highlighting opportunities for redesign.
