In capital-intensive environments, uptime and cost control are non-negotiable. Yet many operators remain locked into OEM-centric maintenance models that limit flexibility, inflate costs and slow response at precisely the point when assets are ageing and complexity is increasing.
This white paper outlines how operators can transition from OEM-controlled maintenance to performance-centric models using capable third-party partners and strengthened in-house capabilities—without compromising safety or reliability. It details where value erodes inside OEM contracts and how to reclaim strategic control.
Drawing on Renoir’s implementation-led approach, we show a practical path to capture cost savings while managing risk responsibly and improving responsiveness.
In this white paper you will learn:
- Where OEM dependence erodes value and agility
- The risk–benefit trade-off in shifting away from OEM control
- How third-party and in-house models deliver cost and performance gains
- The capabilities and governance needed to manage autonomy responsibly
- How to design a structured transition using Focus Process®
- How to embed a performance-driven model that sustains results
