RAM analysis is the key to develop optimised production solutions which reduce the impact on revenue and
expenditure. This can be incorporated in different stages of a project, as is shown below:
Conceptual RAM simulations are used to provide and compare alternative design options by manifesting the
likely production of each option. This not only control project costs but also keeps it on schedule after a design
change takes place
Front End Engineering Design RAM reviews provide solutions, identifying optimised plant configurations with the
goal of keeping the costs low. RAM studies allow for the prediction of production performance and provide input
to:
- Equipment Selection
- System Configuration
- Maintenance and Sparing Philosophies
- Power Load Requirements
- Pipeline Sizing
- Third-Party Contractual Agreements
Detail Engineering Establishes minimum performance parameters or equipment and packages that are sourced
from specialist vendors. This assessment can then be used in the procurement process.
Operations RAM identifies unreliable facilities and diagnoses the root cause of failing equipment and systems.
