Fewer breakdowns. More planned work. Outages that finish on time.
KANE works with plant managers and operations leaders in power generation, water, food and beverage, chemical and manufacturing whose maintenance has drifted into reaction: preventive maintenance that doesn't prevent, the same failures coming back, and outages that run past the window.
Fixed-fee assessments find what's driving it, rank what to fix first by risk and cost, and leave your team a 90-day plan it can run. Every engagement is delivered by Adil Najeeb, CMRP, CRL, a former plant maintenance manager with 19 years in industry.
- Unplanned downtime
- Planned vs. emergency work
- Failures despite PM

What's happening at your plant?
Pick the situation that sounds most like yours. Each assessment is fixed-fee, stands on its own and feeds the next.
- When everything is priority one, and PM effort is spread thin. 01 Asset Criticality Ranking1–2 weeks · One site, one unit or areaMost clients start here
- When the crew is busy but breakdowns keep happening. 02 Maintenance Effectiveness Audit2 weeks · One site, 12 months of work orders
- When technicians can't find the right drawing or manual. 03 Asset Data and Documentation Review2 weeks · One critical system, boundary agreed on your P&ID
- When AI is being pitched and nobody has a plan for the crew. 04 Industrial AI Readiness and Adoption3–4 weeks · One site, two to three use cases
- 8–16 weeks before an outage, while gaps can still be closed. 05 Outage / Turnaround Readiness Review2 weeks · Up to 300 outage work orders

Catch failure at its potential stage, not when it actually fails.
Most equipment failures give a warning before they stop production. P is the first point a developing failure can be detected. F is the point the equipment stops doing its job. The time between them is the window to plan the repair instead of reacting to the breakdown.
Plants living at F pay for it in unplanned downtime, overtime, expedited parts and lost production. KANE's work moves the plant back toward P: knowing which assets matter, detecting problems early, and planning the work before it becomes an emergency.
Maintenance is where production is won or lost, yet it's treated as a cost to cut instead of a capability to build.

What you get from every engagement
A ranked list of what to fix first
Each finding tied to the risk or cost it carries, so the first dollars go where they matter.
A 90-day plan with owners
Written for the crew and supervisors you have, not an ideal team you don't.
Working files your team keeps
Registers, scorecards and templates you can update yourselves after I leave.
A check-in 30 days later
A short review of progress against the plan, included in the fee.
Connecting scattered plant information
The answers to most maintenance questions are spread across the CMMS, the historian, drawings, spreadsheets and people's experience. KANE is developing IOPS, an Intelligent Operations Platform for industrial data and AI analysis, to connect that information and turn it into evidence-backed findings that a person reviews before anything is acted on.
- Consulting comes first. Every recommendation stands on its own. IOPS is never required to get value from an engagement.
- A handoff you own. Where it helps, an engagement can close with an IOPS-ready handoff: an asset ID crosswalk, source register, action register and metric dictionary, in formats your team can use with any system.
- Your data stays yours. No client data goes into IOPS without a written scope, approved access and a security review.
