Cohesive Reliability
Cohesive’s reliability solution for MAS empowers businesses in asset-intensive industries to move beyond reactive asset maintenance to proactive, data-driven asset management that unlocks peak performance, reduces costs, and ensures long-term operational success.
Reliability in Asset-Intensive Industries
In asset-intensive industries, reliability is a critical strategic framework that enables businesses to transition from traditional maintenance practices to a more proactive and data-driven approach to asset management. This framework necessitates robust strategy development and analytics tools.
Why Cohesive?
With more than 25 years of experience as a Platinum IBM partner, Cohesive offers a comprehensive solution designed to enhance reliability for the Maximo Application Suite (MAS). Cohesive’s approach integrates best-practice reliability work processes, methodology training, and configuration to help clients achieve optimal value from MAS.
Cohesive’s expertise extends beyond interpreting asset management standards; our advisors have been instrumental in writing them. We actively contribute to the development and evolution of asset management standards, ensuring their relevance in the face of ever-changing operating conditions and technological advancements. These standards include configuration and information management (EIA SAE 649C); ISO 55000, 31000, 19650, 1192; and the 39 elements of the Global Forum on Maintenance and Asset Management.
Our expertise is further demonstrated by certifications in various reliability methodologies, including Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), and Root Cause Analysis (RCA). We also hold credentials such as Certified Maintenance and Reliability Professional (CMRP), the Institute of Asset Management (IAM) certification, and Certified Reliability Leader (CRL).
