Maintenance Planning & Spare Parts

Viking has the expertise to help operators develop maintenance philosophies, procedures, and a maintenance management system.

Our Services

  • Maintenace Planning

  • Spare Parts

The Viking Operations Readiness team takes a systems view.

At a minimum, successful operations readiness efforts involve operability reviews, development of the operations and maintenance philosophies and procedures, development of the maintenance management system and training of operators for initial startup and operations.

Yet, these efforts normally start too late and are frequently inadequately resourced. Operations readiness efforts started late in a project can’t reach their potential. While the design may be executed in silos, the operations readiness planning cannot.

The Viking Operations Readiness team takes a systems view. Taking a systems view enables us to develop solutions that cross many different disciplines and boundaries allowing the operations team to be efficient and effective.
