Notes

Following are the definitions of the savings noted in Outputs section of the calculator:

Savings – Failures Avoided

• Definition: The direct cost savings from catching and preventing a component failure before it happens.
• Simplified Example: A haul truck engine replacement costs $450,000 if it fails. Oil analysis flags early wear and allows a planned rebuild for $90,000. Savings = $360,000.

Savings – Optimization

• Definition: The value created by extending or optimizing maintenance intervals without increasing risk, based on real oil condition data.
• Simplified Example: OEM recommends 500-hour oil drains, but analysis justifies extending to 750 hours. This reduces oil and filter changes by 33%. Optimization = Material + labor + disposal savings.

Savings – Downtime Avoided

• Definition: The operational/production value of equipment uptime gained by preventing failures or scheduling downtime strategically.
• Simplified Example: A shovel generates $18,000/hour in ore moved. Avoiding a 48-hour breakdown saves $864,000 in downtime costs.
