“You have to maintain your investment

and focus on your long-term purpose,

but you must focus in on three key

things: being bolder, faster and smarter.” Steve Bolze

President and CEO

GE Power & Water

Limited R&M resources

“Fire-fighting” resulting in costly process downtime

Rapid technological growth with advanced diagnostic tools

Maintaining outdated aging equipment in service alongside newer more modern equipment

Incomplete / inaccurate asset and maintenance data

Identifying the “bad actors”

Inability to predict the types of failures that can occur

Lack of equipment-specific strategies

Collecting and presenting historical reliability and maintenance (RM) data that is accurate and accessible

Free from pretense or deceit

Easily detected or seen through

Readily understood

Characterized by visibility or accessibility of

information especially concerning business

practices

Asset Management Standardization ◦ ISO 55000 released 2014

◦ Asset policies, objectives, and strategies

Reliability Tools ◦ FMEA, FTA, RBD, etc.

◦ Data collection and analysis

Communication ◦ Visual Dashboards

Real-Time (or near Real-Time)

◦ Field instrumentation

◦ Building in diagnostic capabilities

ISO 55000 series of standards released in 2014

Benefits of an Asset Management System ◦ Improved regulatory compliance

◦ Sustainable culture change

◦ Capital project avoidance

◦ Reduced material cost

◦ Reduced labor costs

◦ Increased availability

◦ Reduced injuries

Allows for structured,

traceable continuous

improvement

Consider using streamlined reliability tools during all asset life cycle phases (and as early as possible) to optimize value!

Dashboards can transform data into visually rich charts and

graphs, providing insight to make quick and informed plant-wide

or fleet-wide decisions

Visibility at all Levels

◦ Executives

◦ Managers

◦ Operators

◦ Technicians

Access to data and easily communicated

Dashboards can help users to identify trends, sort out issues,

and measure the impact of their maintenance actions

Real-time analytics and reporting of plant

health can provide management with answers regarding assets

in complex systems

The goal of R&M transparency is to encourage

positive collaboration over an asset’s life cycle

– and to have the best possible roadmap.

Building trust, visibility and transparency in an

R&M organization must be done not only with

stakeholders vertically and horizontally but also

externally.

How is reliability and maintainability considered

early in the design phases within your

organization?

Do you think R&M transparency and visibility is

achievable in your organization? What are

some of the roadblocks?

Others?
