Alliance Service Overview

Our Alliance Service Programs are most optimized for multi-year partnership agreements where our field professionals help to identify risks that may create downtime and product deficiencies. These assessments occur during regular service visits scheduled to fit your particular needs. During your planned visits, our field professional will evaluate your equipment, identify problem areas, and provide professional guidance for repairs and maintenance, as well as system updates and enhancements.

Machine Preventative Maintenance

Our Machine Service Partnership Programs offer increased focus to our preventative maintenance and plans for repairs and improvements. As part of our inspection, we’ll communicate the critical wear points and maintenance needed to your team. In addition, we’ll evaluate wear and spare parts inventory, to avoid downtime and suggest machine upgrades/replacements to increase efficiency and reliability. The Afinitas technician will issue a written
inspection report detailing all of this information along with recommended actions. Equipment Evaluation List:

Plant Optimization

Afinitas has experienced technicians available to evaluate the operation and maintenance of your machinery. Our technicians are involved with pipe production in plants throughout the world and our plant evaluation process can result in large operating benefits for your plant. During the site visit we evaluate both your mechanical equipment and audit your production practices. Both areas are critical to the consistent and efficient production of quality products. We identify problem areas and provide suggestions for equipment enhancements, recommended parts inventory, and a wide range of other
solutions. Additionally, we can personally assist your team to implement the suggested changes into your operation. Simple repairs are included in the visit.
Objectives of the Plant Optimization Process:
• Bring a focus on safety, quality, quantity, in that order
of priority.
• Communicate the critical safety areas for all
personnel.
• Evaluate your product quality and provide
guidance for consistent assessments beyond typical
specifications.
• Observe your operation and team in action using our
audit tools to identify key areas of improvement.
• Provide a written report of the visit with
recommended actions.
