How to use Asset Integrity Management to improve maintenance processes and procedures

Abstract:

A case study is carried out to investigate how far imbedded in the organization the asset management systems are.

A lot of effort is put into creating a blueprint in which all processes involved in Asset Management and Asset Integrity Management are described.

These processes are developed to improve efficiency in working and communication between the different layers of governance in the organization. In this study all processes have been given a process owner who is responsible for the actions that belong to each process.

The scope of the study involved all governance on strategic, tactical and operational level, involving the Asset Owner, Asset Manager and Service Provider.

Case study

The Study was carried out at Evides Industriewater N.V.

Evides Industriewater consists of 5 different regions.

All regions are managed by a plant manager.

Both Waste Water Treatment plants and Demin Water Treatment Plants.

The plant managers all are responsible for one or more Water Treatment Plants. Operational support is given to the plant managers by the reliability engineer, the asset manager and the maintenance manager.

In this study research was done to identify how far the process owners of the different processes knew their process and how to improve involvement and knowledge.
