Engineering & Facility Process Improvement

Industrial Process Optimization

Increase Productivity and Employee Satisfaction, Lower Costs, and Decrease Delivery Times With our Industrial Process Improvement Services.

Amentum uses continuous process improvement to drive efficiencies in service delivery. A laser-focus on uptime allows us to increase operational output, as well as quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness. We also employ state-of-the-art technology to ensure reliable operations.

Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) Life Cycle Management

Amentum’s customers rely on MRO services to control cost and improve efficiencies through day to day buys, extending the lifespan of their assets while warranting the best cost-efficiency, quality, and safety. Our technicians will strategically look at the Maintenance, Repair and Operation (MRO) supply that support operations including critical spare parts for mission critical manufacturing equipment and tooling.. Our services include:

Leverage CMMS Inventory Module to develop an overall parts program inventory, storage and control of tools and materials
Create efficiencies in the re-ordering process
Prioritize stocking of parts for critical assets
Improve visibility of available parts and reduce time in manual search
Implement barcoding capabilities to ease search of parts
Create a centralized approach and avoid duplication in the acquisition process
Provide constant oversight through continuous review of criticality
Record inspection findings and document the entire maintenance history on each product unit that comes in for service, repair, or overhaul.
Clean, lubricate, and fine-tune parts.
Ensure production lines and service operations receive new engineering changes.
Handle quotations
Track costs and invoicing

Project Commissioning

Amentum employs project commissioning to maximize building functionality and energy efficiency. Our engineers are working around the clock to meet deadlines and deliver high-quality services. Their mission entails:

Developing, conducting, and documenting Commissioning tests.
Making independent decisions regarding commissioning problems and methods using advanced testing techniques.
Reviewing engineering documents for consistency with testing requirements.
Tracking completion of test documentation
Initiating, evaluating, and resolving condition reports
Collecting, evaluating, and applying lessons learned
Developing procedures to implement conduct of testing and programmatic.
Reviewing designs for testability and develop inspection processes.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

At Amentum, we utilize robotic process automation (RPA) to handle repetitive business processes. Our software robots can perform tasks, parse, and receive error-free responses 24/7, combining cost-efficiency with compliance.

Here’s what our methodology includes:

Boost performance by managing, monitoring, and deploying bots from a single, central location.
Streamline handling with human-in-the-loop machine learning that can quickly take care of exceptions and ad-hoc activities.
Speed up adoption of RPA with a secure cloud-native RPA platform.
Equip developers with the necessary tools to create as many smart bots as they need to handle complex tasks.
Access RPA templates to install bots fast when you need them.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

Amentum believes that effective management is rooted in prevention. Our root cause analysis (RCA) process is designed to isolate, identify, and permanently remove the “root causes” of problems or events. Here’s what our methodology includes:

Schedule recurring Reliability Review meetings to determine top failures and most critical issues
Review of internal metrics and RCA triggers data analytics to focus on top issues
Provide access to a bench of reliability-focused engineers and technical specialists
Train our teams on process, documentation, and reporting
Provide trained technicians to offer feedback on service and planned work
Develop continuous improvement job plans, standard operating procedures and repair procedures.
Report capabilities through metrics, visualizations, and briefing materials including Power BI Dashboards, and the “Reliability Dashboard”
Identify critical asset failure; asset downtime exceeding a number of hours; and a number of repair work orders for a given asset over a period of time.
Implement Six Sigma – LEAN methodologies
Provide cost savings and avoidance calculations and documentation of the project results
Gather data through internal audits
Conduct studies and analysis to provide evaluations of programs from cost and schedule, to contracts, execution, and performance bases.
Identify potential areas of emerging program and portfolio risk using analytics products.
Review and coordinate statutory and regulatory programmatic documentation.
