Reliability & Predictive Maintenance
‘Insight’ into failure before it occurs.
Real-Time Machine Monitoring, Vibration analysis, infrared thermography, oil analysis, and ultrasonic inspection. Reliability programs built around the data — and the floor operators who know what the data means.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
The Reliability of your operation, provided by MMS
Predictive technologies, root cause discipline, and program structure that turns reactive maintenance into managed asset health.
Predictive Technologies
Vibration analysis, infrared thermography, oil analysis, ultrasonic, motor circuit testing. Deployed by asset and failure mode — not by sensor package.
Root Cause Analysis
Structured RCA on failures that matter. Fishbone, 5-Why, FMEA where appropriate. Findings flow into PM updates, training plans, and capital recommendations.
Reliability Program Development
Asset criticality, PM optimization, RCM application, KPI framework, and program governance. The structure that turns reliability from project to operating system.
Reliability Training
Hands-on training for your reliability engineers and maintenance staff through MMS RISE — vibration interpretation, IR scanning, oil sampling protocol, RCA facilitation, RCM analysis.
WHY MANUFACTURERS STAY WITH MMS
Built for operational reality.
Three things that show up on the floor, in the data, and on the P&L.
Operator-Led
MMS is built and led by people who have walked the floor — military, manufacturing, engineering, and heavy industrial operators. The leadership making decisions about your program has lived your problems. That credibility shows up in scopes that are realistic, deliverables that work on the floor, and execution that respects production constraints.
Employee-Owned
MMS is employee-owned. Thirty percent of the company is held by our workforce, which means every technician, planner, and engineer on your site has direct stake in the outcome. Ownership shows up in safety discipline, in PM completion rates, and in how problems get escalated.
Operating Model
Every site MMS manages follows the same operating rhythm — daily production alignment meetings, weekly performance reporting, monthly reliability reviews, quarterly business reviews. Maintenance work is visible, measurable, and accountable. Not a black box. Not a labor invoice.
Reliability Service Tiers
Three tiers. Nine reliability services.
MMS reliability services span planning, training, and monitoring. Whether you're scoping a strategy or already deploying technology, every engagement maps to one of these tiers.
Strategy & Assessment
- Reliability ConsultingFacility assessments, chronic issue reviews, reliability strategy, and long-term improvement planning.
- Workforce DevelopmentStudent and emerging leader development, hands-on reliability projects, measurable business outcomes.
- Preventive Maintenance OptimizationPM audits, task improvement, schedule accuracy, and work order quality.
Programs & Execution
- MMS RISE — Training & CertificationHands-on training, RMIC certification support, University of Tennessee partnership, classroom plus field-based learning.
- Precision Maintenance & Execution SupportTechnical training, standard work, job plans, setup procedures, maintenance best practices.
- RCA / RCCA & Defect EliminationRecurring failure reduction, root cause analysis, corrective actions, chronic problem solving.
Data & Technology
- Predictive & Condition-Based MaintenanceVibration analysis, infrared thermography, oil analysis, and equipment health monitoring.
- CMMS & Maintenance AnalyticsPower BI dashboards, KPI tracking, work order analysis, and downtime trends.
- Air Leak SurveysCompressed air system inspections — reduce wasted energy, improve system performance, support cost-saving improvements.
MMS RISE
TRAINING INTO PRACTICE, ON THE FLOOR.
MMS RISE expands MMS's reliability consulting and training capabilities through facility-level assessments, chronic problem reviews, maintenance process improvement, and certification-based programs — including support for companies pursuing RMIC certification through the University of Tennessee.
Each program combines classroom instruction with field-based application. Participants learn across multiple reliability disciplines while completing hands-on projects tied to real business outcomes. Customers see workforce development, measurable improvements, and a stronger foundation for long-term reliability performance.
The maintenance professional you train today is the reliability leader your plant needs in five years.
HOW WE DELIVER
Data into action, on the floor.
Predictive technology generates data. Reliability programs turn data into work orders that prevent failure. MMS does both — but the second part is where most programs stall. Our reliability engineers translate vibration spectra, IR images, oil reports, and machine health data into specific, prioritized work that production schedules can absorb.
Monthly reliability reviews with plant leadership. Findings tracked through closure inside a CMMS. Asset health trends reported against criticality ranking, not raw sensor counts. The point is decisions — not dashboards.
The best predictive catch is the one nobody on the floor ever notices, because the part was replaced before it broke.
MMS RELIABILITY PARTNERS
INDUSTRIES WE SUPPORT
Industries where predictive SERViCES pay back fastest.
High asset value, continuous production, and expensive unplanned downtime are the conditions where reliability programs return their investment first.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Reliability & predictive — questions buyers ask.
-
Preventive maintenance runs on a schedule — change the oil every 90 days, regardless of condition. Predictive maintenance runs on data — change the oil when wear particles, viscosity, or thermal signature say it's time. Predictive catches failures earlier and avoids the cost of replacing parts that still had life left.
-
Vibration analysis, infrared thermography, oil and lubricant analysis, ultrasonic inspection, motor circuit analysis, and laser alignment. We deploy the technology that matches the asset and the failure mode — not a one-size-fits-all sensor package.
-
Predictive programs typically show first catches within 60–90 days of deployment. Full ROI is usually visible inside the first year through avoided failures, extended PM intervals, and lower MRO consumption. Sites with high-cost downtime see ROI even faster.
-
We integrate with your CMMS — Maximo, SAP PM, Fiix, eMaint, UpKeep, or anything else you're running. Predictive findings flow into work orders inside your system, not a separate tool your team has to check.
-
Yes. Most engagements include knowledge transfer to internal reliability engineers and maintenance staff. MMS runs hands-on training on vibration interpretation, IR scanning, oil sampling protocol, and reliability program management — leaving your team capable of running the program after we exit.
