A RAM Study (Reliability, Availability and Maintainability) evaluates how equipment performance, repair times, and maintenance strategies influence production availability and overall facility uptime. Using reliability models and industry-standard/historical failure and repair data, the study simulates operations to quantify availability, highlight the principal contributors to downtime, and identify opportunities for improvement.
The outputs typically include expected production availability, estimated production losses, ranked critical contributors to downtime, and practical options such as redundancy strategies, critical spares, and optimized maintenance intervals. PRISM’s team combines reliability engineering expertise with hands-on operations and maintenance experience, ensuring that the RAM Study delivers actionable insights to support design decisions, production assurance, and day-to-day planning.
