Strategic Advisory
Industrial maintenance consulting on a project basis — solving specific operational challenges across any industry, whether in process or discrete manufacturing. Measurable results and lasting knowledge for your team.
Expert knowledge applied to specific operational challenges — scoped by project, not by retainer.
Each engagement begins with strategic alignment: understanding the business objectives, operational constraints, and specific context of the improvement initiative. Consultants bring hands-on experience from comparable industrial environments — designing frameworks, optimising processes, and guiding implementations tailored to operational reality.
The engagement is structured to transfer knowledge, not create dependency.
Engagements conclude with structured handover — documentation of methods and decisions, training of the client team on new processes, and practical guidance for independent continuation. The planning, implementation rationale, and lessons learned remain with the organisation, not the consultant.
The objective is to leave the client organisation more capable than before, with both the results and the competence to maintain them.
The same foundation behind multi-year engagements.
These same disciplines underpin Propelance's longer Manage- and Partner-level engagements — adapted to each client's current needs.
Their results are documented in our case studies.
Consulting engagements are available across each of the following disciplines, scoped individually based on the operational challenge and site context.
Reliability strategy and process design — from FMEA and RCA implementation to preventive maintenance programmes, planning & scheduling, and organisational structure improvement.
OEE measurement system design and implementation, KPI definition, loss analysis, 5S rollout, and structured improvement project management.
Digitalisation strategy and project management, IoT and sensor integration, and analytics dashboard development for maintenance operations.
Pre-commissioning maintenance design — organisational setup, process definition, PM plan development, systems implementation, and team training ahead of production ramp-up.
Designing and implementing platform-based solutions on IBM Maximo, SAP PM, and Hexagon EAM — asset hierarchy design, data quality, and user adoption. We work system-agnostically.
Targeted, single-topic evaluations or audits tailored to client needs — HSE, OEE, maintenance cost control, asset condition, reliability-centred maintenance, digitalisation, or planning & scheduling — scoped and delivered on request.
Consulting engagements are most effective when grounded in a structured assessment.
A Factory Assessment provides the scored, evidence-based foundation that ensures consulting effort is directed at the areas where impact is highest — rather than where assumptions are strongest.
