KBR Maintenance Optimization and Readiness Engineering (MORETM) Program
During the last ten years, KBR has developed a program to help ensure that maintainability is designed into Greenfield and Brownfield capital projects. This program has evolved to include a systematic approach to ensure that other necessary operations and maintenance (O&M) and reliability programs, philosophies, strategies and processes are implemented during the proper phase of the capital project’s life cycle. This program is the KBR Maintenance Optimization and Readiness Engineering (MORE™) program. The MORE™ program is designed to be used either as a stand-alone component of the capital project or it may be used in conjunction with or as a supplement to similar owner-developed programs. Designs developed using this program will contribute to the reduction of plant downtime by optimizing the time it takes to repair and maintain plant equipment. They also will minimize infant mortality by assuring that the proper maintenance and reliability programs are in place and implemented prior to plant start-up.
