GEA Service and Asset Management plan for heating and refrigeration plants

GEA Service and Asset Management plan, GEA SAM plan, is a comprehensive 5-to-10-year plan that keeps critical equipment operating optimally long term. It is proactive partnership planning where you are in control – financially, technically, environmentally – with a clear view on Total Cost of Ownership and a reduced risk of unplanned breakdowns.

How does it work?

GEA SAM plan is much more than your average maintenance contract.

It is designed to continuously assess the plant condition so the future investment choices you make can be prioritized to suit your own business needs, always with a focus on safety, reliability, efficiency and sustainability.

Flexibility to change or alter plans and pay back for investments are key factors at all stages to give you full control over CAPEX and OPEX, including your SLA.

The process begins with a comprehensive condition survey and report of your equipment to create the benchmark for improvements to be made. We will work together to identify opportunities to enhance your equipment’s overall operation, from service and maintenance planning to more important plant or equipment upgrades.

As the success of GEA SAM plan is reliant on a close working relationship, we will always highlight the level of investment required way in advance and where relevant we will show you the impact in terms of pay back, or if no action were taken, what the financial consequence could be – bringing the short, medium and long term investment, savings and risk into a clear focused timeline allowing you to make the right choices.

Why does it matter?

With GEA Service and Asset Management plan, we work together to ensure you can see in the dark, always giving you a long-term view of your plant’s capabilities, maintenance needs and budgeting for those significant investments in a timely manner.
