Integrated Facilities Management Case Study
Improving Asset Reliability for a Multinational Pharmaceutical Client
Bay Enterprises delivers smarter, more reliable IFM solutions backed by in-house engineering and Ireland’s only Industrial Repair Centre for IFM provider's.
Client Profile
Bay Enterprises supports several of Ireland’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers with tailored facilities and asset management services. One such multinational client was facing increasing system downtime due to reactive maintenance and a lack of structured asset care planning.
Our Solution
Bay Enterprises developed a comprehensive care service plan for the client’s vacuum systems, aimed at ensuring optimal equipment reliability, capability, and availability. Previously, the equipment was maintained under a run-to-fail strategy, with overhauls performed at our Industrial Repair Centre only after failures occurred.
We implemented a Total Preventive Maintenance (TPM) program featuring:
- Scheduled quarterly site visits
- Onsite vibration analysis and system assessments
- Maintenance recommendations based on condition monitoring
- Cost-effective overhaul strategies that avoid unplanned failures
Client Objectives
- Improve equipment uptime and availability
- Transition from reactive to preventive maintenance
- Reduce unplanned downtime
- Ensure regulatory compliance in pharmaceutical-grade vacuum applications
The Results
- 600+ hours of avoided equipment downtime
- Improved Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
- Reduced Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)
- Increased planning accuracy for maintenance teams
- Strengthened compliance assurance within a regulated environment
