Home / Accessories and maintenance / AIP – Value Added Programme

Efficiency is everything, improvement pays

AIP is the Value Added Programme by NSK which aims to optimise machinery and equipment and provide your business with added value and long-term benefits, including a reduction in costs and an increase in productivity.

By combining NSK's knowledge of bearings, Bianchi Industrial's experience and your expertise in the area of application, AIP uses a collaborative, customised approach, and quantifies the concrete cost savings you will obtain. We assign a value to improvements we enable in terms of performance, productivity and maintenance costs, helping you to save time and money, and maintain a competitive advantage.

The AIP programme is split into 5 phases:

  1. Assessment: on-site visit by technical personnel to gather data and understand customer issues.
  2. Recommendation: We use our training, knowledge and experience to identify a solution, and forecast savings for the customer.
  3. Implementation: We support the customer in installing and testing the recommended solution and, if appropriate, we can subsequently optimise it to improve operations.
  4. Validation: Monitoring performance to ensure the expected results are achieved.
  5. Extension: By collecting data, we can share lessons learned and extend the service to new applications.

The following improvements are achievable:

  • More efficiency, effectiveness and reliability
  • Increased productivity
  • Safety enhanced
  • More qualified personnel
  • Inventory optimised to release working capital
  • Increase in added value
  • Reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO)
