With the cost of labour, materials and equipment higher than ever, now is the time to implement a robust maintenance program. From mining to nuclear, from offsite consultations to EPCM turnkey solutions, North Star’s team of professionals brings best practices to optimize your annual maintenance budget or plan an upcoming shutdown.
We take the safety and security of our employees and clients very seriously. The hazardous environments where we work often mean there are no second chances. Whether it’s a major shutdown or routine maintenance, our HSE team works closely with our people in the field to identify and mitigate any potential issues. We believe everyone has the right to a safe workplace and are in the process of becoming COR certified to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to safety.
The gold-standard in project optimization, we integrate Advanced Work Package methodologies into all aspects of North Star operations. We apply this disciplined, detailed approach to maintenance planning and execution to eliminate standby time and unnecessary rework. One step beyond a traditional SOP, the North Star system reduces total downtime and maintenance spend.
Starting with the correct drawings, specifications and plans, we schedule every aspect of the project. Using the Oracle Primavera suite, we identify and task tools, equipment, personnel and materials—all working together in a multidisciplinary environment, so your tradespeople in the field have everything they need to work efficiently.
With the cost of lost production looming, the North Star AWP system can get your equipment back online sooner.
Each project has its challenges and intricacies, especially brownfield sites with limited documentation. Our team of subject matter experts have an average of 30 years of experience and understand how to maintain all types of equipment effectively. Combining industry best practices with our proprietary programs, we can help you improve your maintenance program and maximize production.
North Star Associates has a long history of implementing and managing maintenance programs for our clients—some of the largest industrial companies in the world. Whether developing the early phase of a maintenance program with manuals and procedures or optimizing existing systems, we have a team of highly skilled professionals that can identify and mitigate issues immediately.
Our maintenance team can use an existing CMMP or use our in-house software to develop a program that works for you. Combining technology with proven procedures, the North Star team will tailor a system to your plant.
Our advanced tools and techniques optimize maintenance intervals and prevent unplanned downtime. From one-time diagnostics to ongoing service agreements, the North Star team helps improve your maintenance efficiency with:
A detailed asset management strategy allows you to extend the lifespan of your assets and minimize maintenance costs. Industrial, commercial and municipal customers across Canada are realizing the benefits of an integrated asset management system which, through ongoing inspections, develops a maintenance plan to minimize total cost of ownership.
You want to get what you paid for and will not accept unnecessary breakdowns and rework from sub-standard work. North Star understands that and has developed robust quality programs to ensure compliance with design specifications and industry standards. Our team of quality inspectors, paired with the invaluable mentorship of our subject matter experts, identify and document quality issues throughout all phases of the maintenance process, from materials receiving through to commissioning. Our proprietary systems ensure the rapid reporting and closeout of non-conformances and can interface with many popular client software programs.
Accurate, timely and organized materials are critical to an effective and efficient maintenance program. Many of our clients struggle to receive, inspect, preserve and prepare their maintenance materials, resulting in costly replacement or unnecessary downtime. We receive your materials in our secure warehouse and inspect and catalogue them before preserving them following industry best practices and manufacturer recommendations.
Under the supervision of a subject matter expert and quality engineer, your components will be kitted based on existing maintenance procedures and BOMs, so your crews have all the necessary components to complete their work efficiently. Fully integrated with Advanced Work Packages, our Work Package Kitting service ensures you have the materials you need, when you need them. Delivered just in time and then picked up at the end of the project, we will replenish each kit, so it is ready for the next planned (or unplanned) service. Another example of our Advanced Work Package management system.
