‘This is the second edition of the Maintenance Excellence book, which is now taking
‘onthe title of Asset Management Excellence as a result of the ever-changing nature
of the business. Inthe time that has passed since the first editin, suffice it to say
that shifts have occurred. The original authors and contributors f content provided
sound information and principles related to working toward maintenance excellence
at that time. For this edition, new authors and contributors have revisited the content
and have updated and added information based on changes in thinking and the intro
duction of and improvement in technologies since the first editor.
Ithas been the opinion of many maintenance and asset management personnel in
multiple industries that atthe oot ofthe discipline, “maintenano: is maintenance.”
‘This has been true for many years, from the era of paper-based work-order systems
through the evolution to computerized software, the Internet, and wireless technolo-
‘ies. The root principles are the same: personnel with tools (ele:tronie ot manual)
address the needs of maintaining assets, The application of root priaciples—as well as,
the way enterprises are perceiving maintenance organizations today——is changing.
‘Maintenance and asset management organizations have some of the same pres-
sures foday as in the past, such as asset availabilty and reliability and regulatory
requirements, Prevalent areas that have driven major transformations ia recent times
are globalization and consolidation and technology changes. These elements reflect
‘changes in thinking. They challenge asset management and maintenance profession
als to be more efiicient in what they do at various levels. Globalization and consoli-
dation have been particularly instrumental in the changes in maintenance standards,
approaches, and the use of technology to become more efficient and cost-effective.
For example, emerging wireless and radio-frequency identification (RFID) technolo-
gies are being heavily leveraged. RFID allows the status of certain components to
be “read” without taking apart an assembly to physically inspect the component.
Wireless technology allows maintenance personnel to have direct access to infor:
mation in the field and to send information from the field. Through RFID, assets
ccan provide information about themselves (eg, expiration dates! or even “talk” to
other assets with wireless technology. Some industries are using RFID technology
to tell maintenance personnel the area in which the assets are physically located.
In addition, organizations are using geographic information system (GIS) software
nd tools to visually display the location information and spatially enable their asset
‘management and maintenance organizations. Now organizations have the ability to
know where their assets are and to understand relationships between how assets have
bbehaved over time and how assets relate to the changing world around them. The
current edition ofthis book reflects some of these changes, trends and concepts,
In recent years, an evolution of many of the tools, technologies, and thought pro-
cesses has occurred. Many of these elements have matured and have allowed the
‘deeper maintenance processes to be rethought. For example, there are trends inthe
‘mix of asset and service management principles. There are also trends in adjustingcore solutions to provide strong industry-specfic solutions. Solution providers have
Simplemented consolidations to make decisions more focused, Increased regulatory
presses have forced many orsaniztions to standardize processes and procedures
fo become more efficient and aso to simply stay in business
Many organization consolidations have taken place from both geographical and
lobal perspectives. Enterprise leaders at all levels have realized that recognia-
Jog maintenance contributions to the organization or enterprise can have a. major
impact on various aspects of the business. Understanding the areas that need change
tr improvement t0 achieve maintenance excellence i challenging at times, if not
‘overwhelming,
“The focus on measurement programs, both strategic and operational, is being
revisited, developed, or reinvented—in some cases to reflect the changes and chs
Tenges that have taken place overtime. Many mature maintenance organizations
tn the enterprise and field level are starting t0 recognize how to use measurement
programs as valuable “ool to fx larger enterprise problems as well sto work the
{day-to-day Tocal operational efficiencies desired inthe fel.
"As time has passed, patterns and trends have emerged around the world in asset
management, Consolidations have sometimes foreed benchmarking some organ
sons and enterprises in order to take advantage of leading practices from other
frou or companies to make them the best practices ofthe new and larger entity
Comolidations have helped mature the maintenance organizations through the use
bf enerprse standards in the areas of data, policies and procedures, software appli-
cations, and new technologies.
This second edition is a product of change and consolidation. Owing to acquisi-
tions, some ofthe leading asset management thought leaders and consultants of IBM's
{global business services aset management solutions organization from around the
aeerd have contributed, updated, and added to the concepts and principles jn this
book. Many have seen and lived the changes in maintenance and asset management
pea understand the evolution of change. They have been on the forefront of provid=
ing services in order to move organizations and enterprises t0 the next generation
‘of asset management and maintenance excellence.
Tt is not necessary to have a large organization or enterprise to use this book
properly. Even the smallest maintenance departments can benefit. The information
provided is all-encompassing. The authors and contributors recognize tat there are
efferent levels of maturity from one group to another. What is needed by one may
be well established in another. Its necessary to understand which leading practice
principles and concep are the corect ones for one group's needs and to ape them
Ports best practices. This edition includes the leading concepts and trends as well as
‘now information on emerging areas and technologies.
Tris recognized that maintenance entities in general have various and diverse
needs in several key areas. Trends in using frameworks, or models, help organize
and prioritize areas of focus, which is one ofthe concepts shared in this book. At the
fighest level of identifying needs to achieve maintenance excellence there ae major
Uifferences in asset classes and how they are maintained. Additionally, organization
maturity and operational principles, as well as lower-level concepts for maintaining
fssets through their entice life cyele, should be considered.

We would like to acknowledge all of the fist edition contributors and, in particular,
the frst edition editors, John D. Campbell, who has since passed oa, and Andrew K.
S.Jandine. Both have added much tha is still an important part of the core content.
‘Many thanks to our colleagues who are part of IBM Global Services Asset
Management Solutions, the largest asset management consulting organization in the
world. They have come from varying industries, consulting companies, and loc:
tions around the world to add a new and updated view based on the changes thet
hhave taken place since the first edition, Their dedication to the discipline of asset
‘management and vision of reaching maintenance excellence have made this second
edition possible.
Organizing, reviewing, and adding content require effort from various individuals
at many different levels, There is a mix of knowledge and personal dedication that
can't be accurately measured but that is recognized by all involved with the original
book as well as with this edition. We will not name each one, since we feel everyone
thas had an equal share in the efforts from reviewing and revising to consulting and
adding new content. Each ean be found inthe Contributors section,
‘We would also like to thank our maintenance, engineering, and industry profes-
sionals, a well as our business partners, whom many of the editers and contributors
learned from, communicated wit, or consulted to discuss or confirm concepts and
information in this book, The collaboration and academic discussion validated exist-
ing ideas and concepts or have driven new ones,
Ttisalso recognized that many leading software providers and suppliers of tech-
nologies are an indirect source of input to many of the contributors’ thoughts a
input. These types of companies and their personnel consistetly try to improve
‘or develop their products with leading practice, innovation, and easy-to-use func-
tionality. Exposure to—and sometimes interaction with—-these companies has
provided new ways of thinking and additional thoughts and concepts that have
found their way into various content portions in both editions of the book.
Finally, we must express our most sincere appreciation to ou clients, who have
provided us with the opportunity to understand their needs over ime, It is they who
have made sweeping changes by proving us experiences and challenges faced dur-
ing start-ups, mergers, acquisitions, and consolidations. They have provided a global
environment in which we have been observers of sector and industry changes as well
4s participants and partners in driving new forefronts. They have sometimes taken
themselves, and many of us, on cutting-edge journeys that have provided us with
experiences that make us subject-matter experts in various fields. Without them and
‘What they have provided, this book and ths latest edition would be nothing more
than an academic exercise
We would like to extend our gratitude to Don Fenhagen. The Asset Management

‘Pay repair teams huge premiums to work overtime, and to perform “damage control”
for angry customers who are missing shipments. Production stlls frequently, and
the company misses revenue opportunities while its feld labor sit idle. All inal, the
inability to analyze different asset atributes cripples the company’s ability to drive
cost reductions when they are needed the most.
With an expanded view of asset classe, the asset manager can have a wider and
‘more complete influence over how the business spends and controls its key proper-
ties. This approach leaves fewer assets to be managed informally or by inconsistent
procedures. By bringing more asset classes together (i.e, under a common purview
‘and portfolio) the asset manager can make better decisions in support of the busi-
ness, including investment decisions, performance decisions, or compromises across
the entre portfolio,
2.2 TOTAL LIFE-CYCLE ASSET MANAGEMENT
‘An expanded view of classes brings new benefits to the completeness and rigor of
asset management. Similarly, an expanded view ofthe asset life cycle provides a new
level of rigor and understanding. The practice of total life-cycle asset management
(TLAM) takes an expanded view of how assets are planned for, used, maintained,
‘and ultimately disposed of. traditional view often separates or ignores key phases
Within the asset life cycle. For example, in a conventional compiny a procurement
officer may be in charge of buying new mobile assets, such as planes, trains, buses,
‘or ships. He or she is motivated (and probably measured) on specific eriteria for
suecess, most likely negotiating cheap prices and meeting the needed number of
vehicles, The maintenance ofthese vehicles is managed by someone else whose job
is to keep repair costs down. The financing may be handled by another manager
andthe disposition and liquidation by yet another. While these jo roles will always
bbe needed, the company may have hurt itself by not taking a complete view of the
entire cycle. When these roles are managed separately, we are inclined to ask the
following: Were repair costs factored in atthe time of purchase? Does the company
know the total cost of ownership? Could smarter costing be possible if finance and
Procurement worked withthe entire portfolio? Whether the compeny in our example
suffered from a lack of knowledge is unclea, but the fact that it may not be able to
find the answers a all demonstrates a primary shortcoming,
Figure 2.3 shows the TLAM framework that IBM has formulated. Itbreaks down
the life cycle of assets into discrete phases of activity. In practice, companies should
analyze their portfolio of assets (including the expanded view of asset classes) across
the entire life cycle to make decisions and define asset strategy. The framework con.
sists of eight life-cycle phases of use and planning, each of which has supporting
financial management and technology attributes to consider.
2.241 Asser Sreattcy
‘Setan asset strategy that makes sense forthe asset clas and your company’s business
requirements. Activities may include assessing asset managemen: practices, devel-
ping a comprehensive asset management strategy, and developirg a measurement16 Asset Management Excellence: Optimizing Equipment Life-Cycle Decisions
FIGURE 2.3 Toul life-cycle asset management
program with key performance indicators (KPIS), Managers need to determine
‘whether they ovin their primary assets or choose access them “on demand” or take
‘a hybrid approach. For example, a chemical company might have a strategy where it
‘owns and maintains all equipment that relates to core manufacturing but decides that
all customized product development be manufactured wit leased infrastructure.
2.2.2 PLAN
Clearly define asst targets, standards, policies, and procedures focusing on delivery
‘of the asset management strategy. Companies may wish to develop policies and stan-
dards and conduct portfolio asset management planning. This enables them to plan
‘across the entite portfolio of assets. For example, a petroleum company able to plan
land acquisition and equipment construction and repair simultaneously may be more
nimble in negotiations when purchasing equipment, beter able to conduct discovery
activities quickly, and better able to deal with emergencies.
2.2.3 Evaware ano Desicn
Evaluate the assets if being purchased, or design the assets that need to be created
‘Activities inthis phase inelude developing a capital program assessment model, which
informs buying decisions. Computer-aided facilities planning can be used to reduce
the complexity of managing buildings, storage, and plants, For example, consider
‘a pharmaceutical company ramping up to manufacture a new drug and needing to
build out completely new manufacturing facilities and processes around the product
life eyele. The new product will require, for example, bioprocessing infrastructure
‘Asset Classes and the World of Life-Cycle Asset Management v
(e.g. vats, bioreactors), manufacturing space, cold storage and shpping, new safety
‘equipment, and process monitoring technology. By integrating theasset design plans
with the product life eycle, a company will be able to better understand its infrastruc
ture in regard to the overall product profitability as well as to ensure that the asset
‘management activities support the time frames ofthe product lausch,
2.2.4 CReate ano Procure
‘This phase involves the act of creating, building, or procuring the planned assets
‘This phase may have one of the most visible impacts, since itis where the first signif.
icant money is spent in asset management, New practices in this aea include capital
project management, automated and computerized materials resource optimization
(€-MRO), and new procurement and project delivery strategies, Imagine an asset
procurement manager who is able to make purchasing decisions across all aspects
of his or her production facilities globally with an integrated view. The manager is
able to make purchases with few redundancies and fewer shortages. He or she would
be able to negotiate with suppliers better and to manage installation, delivery, and
deployment of assets in an integrated, coordinated fashion,
2.2.5 Ovenare
Operate the assets per the strategy, using the standards, polices, and procedures
with feedback into the TLAM. The operation of assets is where pesformance is most
affected (eg, what value the assets deliver to the company). New practices in this
area include formal IT asset management (ITAM), asset performince management
strategies, and total asset visibility solutions. A mining company, for example, could
track ore production to actual equipment ratios to understand which types of deploy-
‘ments are higher producing. This operational data could then be used when planning
new asset acquisitions and deployments
2.2.6 MAINTAIN
‘Maintain the assets in support ofthe strtegy and targets using the standards, poi-
cies, and procedures in place with feedback into the TLAM. Maintenance costs and
resources can wildly alter the total cost of ownership, from repair costs to down-
time. New practices inthis area include conducting process improxement workshops
with multdisciplinary staff (ex, users, technicians) and deployirg EAM software
systems, Predictive maintenance becomes a mainstay, based on vnderstanding the
past through failure databases and other tracking tools, which ultimately lower reac
tive maintenance allocations, EAM systems enable asset managers to track and
‘manage assets across the enterprise, complete with centralized menitoring (even by
‘mobile device). Radio-frequency identifications (RFIDs) and other “smart” technol-
‘gies can be integrated into assets themselves. Imagine factory robots or pipelines
that report their problems and remind owners oftheir maintenance schedules, Total
productive maintenance (TPM) is a methodology deployed to manage maintenance
‘and improve uptime and reliability of eritical assets18 Asset Management Excellence: Optimizing Equipment Life-Cycle Decisions
2.2.7 Mooiey
Modify assets when required. Ensure modifications are reflected in, for example,
strategy, policies, and procedures. Some of the toughest modification decisions may
come in IT-related assets, where changing requirements and options evolve rapidly.
“Many firms are deploying strategies that facilitate constant modification of systems,
sch as service-oriented architectures (SOA). Other practices include total life-cycle
costing and performance improvement analysis. Modification can also be critical
to the life extension of assets, as machines are retooled, facilities repurposed, and
technology adapted to facilitate newer processes.
2.2.8 Dispose
‘This phase involves disposal, retirement, o liquidation of assets in accordance with
the strategy, policies, and procedures. Disposal can have significant financial impli-
cations beyond replacement, For example, real estate calculations are in constant flux
‘because of market variations. Some assets have environmental or regulatory costs to
‘consider. Other disposal strategies are finding new pockets of income from online
gray markets. Other programs, such as IBM's Global Asset Recovery Solutions
(GARS) initiative, focus on refurbishing usable parts of disposed equipment to mini
mize the costs oftheir disposal. An emerging trend making headlines and driven by
‘new regulation i the increased focus on green” practices and operations. Practices
such as sustainable facilities management, appropriate asst disposal, reduction of
carbon footprint at manufacturing plants, and reduced carbon emissions for fleet are
‘uickly becoming requirements the asset manager must consider. How assets are
disposed of will be only the beginning of this trend, since green practices will need
{to move into every stage of the total life cycle for assets.
2.2.9 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
‘Each phase has financial management implications and planning requirements. These
are offen most pronounced during the create-and-procure and disposal phases, but
‘of great importance are also the operate and maintain phases, where financial per-
formance is also affected. Maintenance, for example, can be a massive contributor
to total cost of ownership (TCO), and the performance ofthe operate phase can be a
huge contributor to financial performance.
2.240 Trcunovocy
In this instance, we refer to technology as an asset management tol, not as the asset
itself (although the asset management system is indeed an asset). Technology can
‘transform how each ofthese phases is planned for and executed. In an EAM system,
‘models for planning and management are resident within a common, centralized sys-
tem, Active cataloging, monitoring, and measurement of assets is also tracked, often
‘in eal time, to aid repair actions, to enable quick procurement and replacement deci-
sions, and to monitor performance. Technology is also used to integrate the EAM
‘Asset Classes and the World of Life-Cycle Asset Management 9
with other key systems, such as accounting, procurement, and business performance
‘management (BPM) dashboards
Operationally, this framework should be formalized and programmatic within the
organization. This means applying a TLAM approach to asset management systems,
integrating the approach into planning and strategy efforts and using the framework
to establish monitoring and metrics to gauge success and performance.
‘The TLAM approach is consistent with the elements of an ssset-centric supply
chain, in that decisions associated with strategic capital management (SCM) strat-
gy, planning, product life-cycle management, logistics, procurement, and opera
tions of an organization are impacted significantly by how that organization's assets
are managed (Figure 2.4)
Pictured another way, the systems view of a basic asset life cyele and the co
ponents of the supporting infrastructure incorporate many stakeholders within the
supply chain community. Al ofthese elements contribute to and have a vested inter-
est in an effective TLAM perspective (Figure 25).[Asset Classes and the World of Life-Cycle Asset Management

3.1 INTRODUCTION
‘Today’s maintenance and physical asset managers face great challenges to increase
‘tut, to reduce equipment downtime, to lower costs, and todo ital with less risk to
safety and the environment, This chapter addresses the Various ways to accomplish
these objectives by managing maintenance effectively and efficiently within your
organization's unique business environment.
‘This chapter presents an overview of the multiple aspects required for an effective
8nd efficient maintenance management system, Of course, you must make trade
offs, such as cost versus reliability, to stay profitable in current markets. We show
a24 Asset Management Excellence: Optimizing Equipment Life-Cycle Decisions
you how to balance the demands of quality, service, output, costs, time, and risk
reduction. This chapter examines just how maintenance and reliability management
‘can increase profits and add real value tothe enterprise.
‘We discuss the levels of competence you must achieve on the road to excellence.
‘There are clear evolutionary development stages. To get to the highest levels of
‘expertise, you must ensure thatthe basics are in place, How can you tell if you are
ready to advance? We provide a series of charts that will help you decide.
Tn the final sections of the chapter, we describe the methods used by compa-
nies that truly strive for continuous improvement and excellence. We will there-
fore briefly touch upon reliabilty-centered maintenance (RCM), root-cause failure
analysis (RCFA), and decision-making optimization. Ths sets the stage for material
presented later inthe book.
3.2. ASSET MANAGEMENT: TODAY'S CHALLENGE
‘Smart organizations know they can no longer afford to see maintenance as just an
‘expense. Used wisely, it provides essential support to sustain productivity and fuel
growth while driving down unneeded and unforeseen overall expenses. Effective
‘asset management aims todo the following
‘+ Maximize uptime (productive capacity)
+ Maximize accuracy (the ability to produce to specified tolerances or qual-
ity levels)
‘+ Minimize costs per unit produced (the lowest cost practical)
‘+ Minimize the risk that productive capacity, quality, or economic production
will be lost for unacceptable periods of time
+ Prevent safety hazards to employees, and the public as much as possible
+ Ensure the lowest possible risk of harming the environment
+ Conform to national and international regulations on due diligence (eg,
Sarbanes-Oxley [SOX
In today's competitive environment, ll ofthese are strategic necessities to remain
in business; the challenge is how to best meet them, In many companies, you have
to start atthe beginning—put the basics in place—before your attempis to achieve
excellence and to optimize decisions will be successful. The ultimate aim is to attain
‘high degree of control over your maintenance decisions, and in this chapter we
explore what it takes to get there
3.3. OPTIMIZATION
Optimization is a process that seeks the best solution, given competing priorities
‘This entails setting priorities and making compromises for what's most important.
“Maximizing profits depends on keeping our assets in working order, yet maintenance
sometimes requires downtime, taking away from production capacity. Minimizing
downtime is essential to maximize the availability of our plant for production
(Optimization will help you find the right balance.
[A Framework for Asset Management Foy
Although increasing profi, revenues, availablity, and reliability while decreasing
downtime and cost are related, you cant always achieve them together. For example,
‘maximizing revenues can mean producing higher-grade products that command
higher prices. But that may require lower production volumes and, therefore, higher
costs per unit produced.
Clearly, cost, speed, and quality objectives can compete with each other. An
example is the improved repair quality from taking additional dewntime to do acrit-
{cal machine alignment correctly. The result will probably be lorger run time before
the next fature, but it does cost additional repair downtime in the short term.
‘The typical trade-off choices in maintenance arise from trying to provide the
‘maximum value to our customers. We want to maximize
+ Quality ¢g. repair quality, doing i ight the fist ime, precision techniques)
+ Service level (eg, resolution and prevention of failures)
+ Output 2g, reliability and uptime)
Atthe same time, we want to minimize
+ Time (¢g., response and resolution time and mean time to resolution
IMTTR),
+ Costs (, cost per unit output)
+ Risk (e. predictability of unavoidable failures)
‘Management methods seek to balance these factors to deliver the best possible
value, Sometimes, however, you must educate the customer about the trade-off
choices you face to ensure “buy in” to the solution. For example, a production shift
supervisor may not see why you need additional downtime wo finish a repair properly
‘You have to convince him or her ofthe benefit: extended time before the next failure
and downtime.
‘Maintenance and reliability are focused on sustaining the manufacturing or pro-
cessing assets’ productive capacity. By sustaining we mean maximizing the ability
to produce quality output at demonstrated levels. This may mean production levels
that are beyond original design if they are indeed realistically sustainable.
3.4 WHERE DO MAINTENANCE AND RELIABILITY
MANAGEMENT FIT IN TODAY'S BUSINESS?
The production assets are merely one part of an entire product supply chain that pro-
«duces profit for the company. Iis important to recognize that maintenance priorities
‘may not be the priorities ofthe company as a whole,
In a very basic manufacturing supply chain, materials flow from source Guppli-
rs) through primary, and sometimes secondary, processing or manufacturing and
then outbound to customers through one or more distribution channels. The tradi-
tional business focus at this level is on purchasing, materials requirements plan-
ning, inventory management, and just-in-time supply concepts. The objective is to26 Asset Management Excellence: Optimizing Equipment Life-Cycle Decisions

orders (Le, the pull concep).
‘To optimize the supply chain, you optimize the flow of information backward,
from customers to suppliers, to produce the most output withthe least work in pro-
cess, Supply chain optimizing strategies do the following:

[Reducing maintenance expenses does indeed add to the bottom line directly, but,
since its fraction ofa fraction ofthe total costs, itis typically seen as less impor.
tant, commanding less management attention. Most budget administrators don't
seem to fully understand maintenance, judging by historical cost numbers. When
you reduce a maintenance budge, service ultimately declines. Also, outputis usually
reduced and risk is increased when there isn't enough time or money to do the work
right the first time,
‘Of course, the accounting view is one-dimensional because it looks only at costs.
When you consider the value that maintenance delivers, it Fecomes much more
important. By sustaining quality production capacity and increasing reliability, you
generate more revenue and reduce disruptions. This requires the right application
cof maintenance and reliability. Certainly, doing maintenance properly means being
proactive and accepting some amount of downtime. Effective maintenance methods
are needed to make the best possible use of downtime and the information you col-
lect to deliver the best value to your production customers
3.5 WHAT MAINTENANCE PROVIDES TO THE BUSINESS
‘Maintenance enhances production capacity and reduces future capital outlay by
+ Maximizing uptime
‘+ Maximizing accuracy produces to specified tolerances or quality levels
+ Minimizing costs per unit produced
‘+ Sustaining the lowest practical and affordable risk to loss of production
capacity and quality
+ Reducing as much as possible the safety risk to employees and the public
+ Ensuring the lowest possible risk of harming the environment
Notice the emphasis on risk reduction. This is why insurers and classification
societies take a keen interest in their clients’ maintenance effort. Your maintenance
reduces their exposure to risk and helps keep them profitable, Nearly every time a
‘major accident involves a train, airplane, or ship, there isan in-depth investigation to
{determine whether improper maintenance was the cause ofthe disaster.
Maintenance can also provide strategic advantage. Increasingly, as companies
‘automate production processes and manufactured goods are treated like commodities,
the lowest cost producer will benefit. Automation hus reduced tke size of production
‘crews while increasing the amount and complexity of work for maintenance crews,
Maintenance costs will therefore increase relative to direct producion costs. Even low-
cost producers can expect maintenance costs to rise. That increase must be offset by
increased production. You need less downtime and higher production rates as wel as
better quality at low unit cost—that means more effective and efficent maintenance.
Achieving all of this requires a concerted effort to manage and control main-
tenance rather than letting the assets and their random failures control costs. In
today’s highly competitive business environment, you eannot afford to tolerate that
Unfortunately, many companies do just that, allowing natural processes to dictate
their actions. By operating in a “firefighting” mode, they merely respond to rolls of|28 Asset Management Excellence: Optimizing Equipment Life-Cycle Decisions [A Framework for Asset Management »

‘We are frequently advised to have a personal physical exam by a qualified physician
‘once a year. Most individuals would not disagree with this advice, but many fail to
act upon it I'm feeling just fine! Why bother going to the doctor? But we are more
likely o visit the doctor when we ae ill and expect to have whatever ail us remedied
in quick order, Similarly, a physical asset manager is more likely to inherit a plant
that is strugeling to meet safety, production, and cost objectives than to inherit one
where all systems are in control. This situation requires the manager not only to start
his or her work from the bottom up but also to understand how each step contributes,
to the overall plan and moves the organization inthe direction intended.
Asset management is a journey, nota destination. For every jeurney, leadership
is crucial to success,

the dice, with random results. Without intervening proactively, these companies can
react only after the fact—once failures occur. The consequences are low reliability,
availability, and productivity: ingredients for low profitability.
3.6 READY FOR EXCELLENCE? THE PYRAMID.
‘Optimizing your effectiveness cannot be accomplished in a chaotic and uncontrolled
environment, Optimization entails making intelligent and informed decisions. That
involves gathering accurate and relevant information to support decisions and to act
‘na timely manner, As the saying goes, “When up tothe rearin alligators it's difficult
to remember to drain the swamp.” You must have your maintenance system and pro-
‘ess under control before you can optimize effectively. You need to tame the alli
tors with good maintenance management methods, followed ina logical sequence.
John Campbell, author ofthe book Uprime: Strategies for Excellence in Mainte-
nance Management; teaches that several elements are necessary 10 achieve main
tenance excellence. These elements fall into four major areas, as illustrated in
Figure 3.1 in the maintenance excellence pyramid:
+ Before starting off in a direction, a maintenance manager mast know from
‘what point he or she is starting: What resources are available? If we under-
take this new work, what will not get done? How do we know where to stat,
the path forward, and where this journey should lead us?
+ Exercise leadership at all imes. Without it, change won't be successful. +A physical asset manager starts with what he or she has in place and attempts
+ Achieve control over the day-to-day maintenance operation.
+ Apply continuous improvement, once you have control, to remain at the
leading edge of your industry.
+ Continuous improvement activities will set the stage for quantum leaps in

in expending much time, effort, and resources redesigning a system that is

implemented as designed? A baseline audit will identify which systems ace

ing the design—or perhaps both? An audit will measure a range of criteria

‘+ Make room for others to contribute
*+ Iris not necessary to be the chief executive officer or the senior manager to
lead. A tradesperson, a foreman, a planner, or a middle manager can also

‘To design and implement a physical asset management process appropriate for the
business needs, the manager must understand the following:
*+ What is the plant meant to do? What are the key performance goals?
+ Is the plant safe and reliable? Do employees, management, and the eom-
munity have confidence that the presence ofthe plant isa benefit and not an
unreasonable or unknown risk to their well-being?30 Asset Management Excellence: Optimizing Equipment Life-Cycle Decisions
‘+ Does the organization achieve the goals with a common purpose, commu
nication, and teamwork throughout all levels in the organization?
+ Are people valued throughout the organization? Do they have the oppor-
tunity t0 each their full potential regardless of whether they come from
finance, maintenance, or operating?
+ Does the plant have spare capacity, or must tun 24/7 to keep up to demand?
+ Does the maintenance organization add value t the plant? Does it identify
‘what needs to be done and then execute the work when it needs to be done
without wasting resources such as manpower, materials, equipment, or pro-
cess downtime?
+ Does the organization optimize the use of its capital resources and infra
structure before replacement?
+ What steps are necessary to establish some level of control? Can the mai
tenance manager reduce variation?
‘+ If the organization was successful in implementing the intended systems,
‘would we then achieve all ofthe desired results?
3.6.2. Conrrot
‘+ Planning, scheduling, and execution practices to manage work and delivery
‘of the service: Through careful planning you establish what will be done,
using which resources, and provide support for every job performed by the
‘maintainers. You also ensure that resources are available when needed.
‘Through scheduling you can effectively time jobs to decrease downtime
and improve use of resources. Execution delivers what was planned, when
it was planned, and how it was planned.
+ Materials management practices to support service delivery: Part of the
{ob of a planner is to ensure that any needed parts and materials are avail-
able before work starts. Shutdown schedules cannot wait for the bureau-
cratic grind of materials delivery. Schedules are set and material procured
as requited by the schedule. To minimize operations disruptions, you need
spare parts and maintenance materials at hand. Effective materials manage
‘ment ensures the right parts are available inthe right quantities atthe right,
time and distributed cost-effectively t the job sites.
‘+ Maintenance tactics forall scenarios—to predict failures that ean be pre
dlicted, to prevent failures that can be prevented and run-tofailure when
‘safe and economical to do so, and to recognize the differences: This is
‘where highly technical practices such as vibration analysis, thermograph-
ics, oil analysis, nondestructive testing, motor current signature analysis,
‘and judicious use of overhauls and shutdowns are deployed. These tactics
increase the amount of preveative maintenance that can be planned and
scheduled and reduce the reactive work needed to clean up failures.
‘+ Measurements of maintenance inputs, processes, and outputs to help
determine what is and isn't working and where changes are needed:
By measuring your inputs (e.g, labor, materials, services) and out-
puts (¢g., reliability or uptime and costs), you can see whether your
A Framework for Asset Management Po
‘management is producing desired results. If you also measure the pro-
‘cesses themselves, you can control them to align the execution with the
system design. Statistical process control charts will tell the maintenance
manager if a system is in control and at what point in time a process
‘change took place. A change toa specific “input” such as labor or materi-
als may not have the desired output. The annals of maintesance history
are filled with evidence of throwing manpower atthe problem with litle
to show for it,
‘+ Systems that help manage the flow of control and feedback information
through these processes: Accounting uses computers to keep the books,
Purchasing uses computers to track onders and receipts and to control who
‘ets paid for goods received. Likewise, maintenance needs effective sys-
tems to deploy the workforce on the many jobs that vary frem day to day
nd to collet feedback to improve management and results,
3.6.3 Conninuous Inprovements
Continuous improvement involves a range of well-known methods and maintenance
tactics. The best place to start is with the people closest to the work: the operators
and the tradespeople. Through use of simple quality management techniques includ-
ing on-site data collection, charting, fishbone diagrams, and Parcto charts, many
problems can be solved. There is atime and place for the advanced techniques di
cussed in detail later inthis book. But if the organization does no: have the skills,
knowledge, and discipline to execute the basic elements of the maintenance system
design, it cannot be expected that more advanced techniques will have meaningful
results: Improvement such as RCM and otal productive maintenance (TPM) meth-
ods are described in detail in chapters ahead.
3.7 ADD VALUE THROUGH PEOPLE
One of the most important pieces of work for the physical asset manager is to add
value through the development of people and assigning of tasks.
‘The manager adds value by
+ Establishing and communicating the vision forthe future
+ Establishing the maintenance strategy
+ Establishing the fundamental values by which the organization and people
interact with each other
+ Designing the physical asset management system
* Creating the organizational structure and roles descriptions that allow
‘the maintenance system to be executed and people to recch their full
potential
‘+ Assigning tasks with consistent clarity and measurable outcomes
‘+ Establishing the accepted standards forthe physical plant
+ Clarifying issues for middle management32 Asset Management Excellence: Optimizing Equipment Life-Cycle Decisions ‘A Framework for Asset Management 3

3.8 LEVEL OF ASSET MANAGEMENT MATURITY

of maturity, A maturity profile is a matrix that describes the organization's charac
teristic performance in each of these elements. One example appears in Campbell's
book (Figure 1.5). Figure 3.2 presents another example of a profile that covers the
spectrum of elements needed for maintenance excellence, It is presented in a series
of profiles, with supporting details for a cause and effect diagram. The effect we
‘want is maintenance excellence.

these changes often use fewer people to get as much, or more, work done. They are
typically very productive
"The next most important elements are usually the methods and processes
(Figure 3.4). These are all about how you manage maintenance. They are the activi
ties that people in the organization actually do. Methods and processes add structure
to the work that gets done. As processes become more effective, people become
‘more productive. Poor methods and processes produce much of the wasted effort
typical of low-performing maintenance organizations.
In Figure 3.5, systems and technology represent the tools used by the people
‘implementing the processes and methods you choose. These are the enablers, and
they get most of the attention in maintenance management. Some organizations
that focus tremendous energy on people and processes, with only basic tools and
rudimentary technology, sil achieve high performance levels. Other organizations,
focused on the tools shown in Figure 35, haven't. Generally, emphasizing technol-
‘ogy without excellence in managing methods, processes, and people will bring only
limited suecess. I's like the joke about needing a computer to really mess things up.
If nefficient or ineffective processes are automated and then run with ineffective and
