IPMC™ – Sustainable
results-based maintenance system

„If you know your enemy and yourself, you need not fear a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not your enemy, for each of your victory you will also have one defeat. If you know neither your enemy nor yourself, you will be defeated in every battle.“

Sūnzǐ (Chinese general, military strategist and philosopher, around 534 BCE to around 453 BCE, former kingdom Qi in Lean in today's Peoples Republic of China)

Globalisation and international competition, the increasing demands on product quality, the need for shorter product cycles and ever increasing cost pressure are forcing manufacturers of capital and consumer goods to undertake continuous innovative adaptation of their factory and production structures. This includes in particular the maintenance function:

  • IPMC™ – "Industrial Plant Maintenance Concept" as an internationally recognised strategic system for introducing a sustainable results-oriented maintenance
  • Minimal use of "dry theory" and "extensive presentations"
  • Instead, direct application of research and development principles adapted to our society and culture (see TPM®)
  • Individual economical solutions for small, medium sized and large businesses
  • Application of "dual maintenance strategy" of the SCYTEQ Institut for the elimination of design weak points and at the same time maintaining the technical operation of machines and equipment
  • Implementation of design changes on machines under strict economic criteria (see SEE™ – SCYTEQ Efficiency Engineering)
  • Stage 1 - Resource analysis: Situation analysis, weak point analysis, potential analysis, preparation of an individual strategic concept
  • Stage 2 – Idhammar® MMS & OEE: Implementation of a customised availability-based maintenance management system (see IPS, CMMS, EAM)
  • Stage 3 – "World-class development process": Natural and continuous advanced development of structures and processes towards a more sustainable results-based integrated production system

You deserve to get valuable professional advice! The value and benefits for capital-intensive companies, which arise from the application of our system, are as follows:

  • Reduction of spare parts and maintenance costs
  • Reduction in total operating costs (see TOO)
  • Maximising overall equipment effectiveness (see OEE)
  • Maximising the value creation and competitiveness

The roots of the applied maintenance goes back more than 2,000 years in our history. Today we know what potential a "functioning availability-based maintenance" contains and what tremendous value it has for us:

  • Maintenance is not a question of cost. Costs are however very probably a question of maintenance.
  • Maintenance is an investment to keep the assets from earlier investments.
