How the RAM Study Expands on the Fuels Study for Enhanced Reliability and Maintenance Strategies and Profitable Operations

If you have participated or are considering participating in the Fuels Study, you may be questioning how participating in the RAM Study creates additional value when the Fuels study already analyzes reliability and maintenance and identifies cost and availability opportunities. The Fuels Study is effective in identifying cost and availability gaps, that in essence represent measures of the effectiveness of your maintenance and reliability programs. However, the RAM Study can take that analysis a step further by deep diving into those programs to determine if you have a solid foundation for sustained success or if you have some programmatic issues that may indicate future performance issues. The RAM insight gained from the Fuels Study is useful, but it’s only a sliver of the insight you can get from jointly participating in the RAM Study as well. The Fuels Study delivers valuable metrics for your overall fuel refinery operations, although jointly participating in the RAM Study will ensure that you have a core understanding of how effective your maintenance and reliability programs are.
