An Overview

The following is a brief overview of the process:

How It Works: A Closer Look 

Radwell conducts a comprehensive assessment of a facility to identify areas of strength and weakness, allowing us to provide valuable insights to plant or facility management. This includes the following:

  • Collection: A qualified Radwell representative will visit your site and conduct a thorough review of all installed electronic (and mechanical if requested) equipment. They will create a plant hierarchy that details risk by area, line, machine, panel and stored.
  • Analysis: We determine current and future plant risks and MRO inventory levels. By reviewing your ALA, we can recommend stick levels, identify repairable assets, develop robust procedures for continuity in stores and create a plan for future action.
  • Report: This isa two-stage process that requires full customer engagement. We will deliver our results back to you with details reports. Stock valuation, what’s missing, and asset lifecycles. We’ll then work together to determine critical spares and set up processes to help mitigate risk.
