Life Cycle Asset Management

This Life Cycle Asset Management article series introduces and discusses life cycle asset management strategies, systems and processes for optimizing operating asset economics, reliability, performance, and return on investment.

Life Cycle Asset Management, Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Engineering Asset Management, and Physical Asset Management (and their linguistic variations) are considered to be synonymous names. Life Cycle Asset Management is used to title this series, as it has the correct connotation of what is intended when the applicable strategies are adopted by organisations.

‘ISO 55001 Asset Management  – Management systems – Requirements’ is an international standard for certification of life cycle asset management systems and posts about the ISO 55000 asset management suite of documents are included in this series.

The purpose of this Life Cycle Asset Management series is to provide reputed, useful content that brings value and improves asset performance when used in operations and organisations.

The Life Cycle Asset Management series of articles are provided with permission of Plant Wellness Way EAM and Lifetime Reliability Solutions.

NOTE: The series does not include coverage of related commercial or vendor software or database management applications.

How Much Reliability have You Lost from Your Asset Wellness Curve?

How Much Reliability have You Lost from Your Asset Wellness Curve?

AN ASSET LIFE CYCLE WELLNESS CURVE SHOWS HOW PLANT AND EQUIPMENT RELIABILITY IS LOST AT EACH PHASE ALONG AN OPERATING ASSET’S LIFE CYCLE

—

In some industries, 40% of maintenance repairs result from original equipment manufacturing failures. And up to 35% of maintenance is traceable to design engineering mistakes. That totals 75% of maintenance costs during operation can be from prior life cycle process blunders

To get utmost operating plant and equipment reliability, you need to purposefully design and build your business processes to guarantee maximum reliability from each and every phase of the asset life cycle

Defining Risk and World Class Reliability

Defining Risk and World Class Reliability

This article outlines key concepts that an organization needs to be aware of to bring about optimal asset health by removing risks and managing their causes. The Plant Wellness Way EAM methodology focuses on the relationship between asset health and business performance. It contains the processes and analysis tools to develop a system-of-reliability that fully supports operating asset health for the greatest ROI from each asset throughout its life cycle.Risk is the total losses suffered when any asset’s components may fail. The causes of failure are the environmental and operating stresses that affect a component’s microstructure. This means that world class reliability is the effective, complete remove of the causes of failure, also known as risks, from your operations.

Get More Operating Profit and Stop Problems by Setting Tighter Quality Standards

Get More Operating Profit and Stop Problems by Setting Tighter Quality Standards

Adopting the business strategy of intentionally tightening process and work quality standards will drive operating profits higher. You get most operating profits when process and work quality variables are sitting on their optimal cost points. The Taguchi Loss Functions of your operation show the connection between your operating costs and your process and work quality.

Keywords: Taguchi Loss Function, quality verses cost, Quality Cost Function

How to Calculate Replacement Asset Value for Assets and Equipment Purchased in Foreign Currency

How to Calculate Replacement Asset Value for Assets and Equipment Purchased in Foreign Currency

When calculating the replacement asset value fo items brought overseas, factor the effect of the difference in exchange rate into the calculation.

Ahmed asks:

How can we calculate replacement asset value (RAV) of a plant? We have 100’s of equipment in our three plants and we cannot contact 100’s of Vendors to tell us today’s equipment value. We have only the Capitalization Cost or installed historic value of assets.

The oldest plant was installed 6 yrs back (Aug 2015) for a total plant or asset value in our accounting record of 10 MMPKR. When the plant was installed 1 USD = 100 PKR and now after 6 yrs the exchange rate is 1 USD = 172 PKR. We took the capitalization cost of 10 MMPKR and calculated replacement asset value at today’s worth as 10 * 172/100 MMPKR.

How Plant Wellness Way Sites Get Zero Failures

How Plant Wellness Way Sites Get Zero Failures

 The prime role of Maintenance is to reduce operating risk. Maintenance serves a business well when its use leads to lower production costs than using other choices that could have been taken. Too many managers think that they must maintain plant and equipment. Maybe you do and maybe you don’t. Maintenance is expensive and, as far as it is safe, use less costly answers. But if you do choose to do maintenance, then you ought to pick an operation’s maintenance strategy mix based totally on its effectiveness in delivering the least operating costs for the least maintenance cost.
