Optimizing work execution has been essential to Central San’s reliability journey. This is evident through our motto of: “The right maintenance, right equipment at the right time.” Our efforts led to Uptime Awards for Best Reliability Engineering for Maintenance Program in 2018, Best Asset Management Program in 2020, and Best Work Execution Management Program in 2022. Central San continues developing staff, enhancing processes, and investing in new technology to shape strategy into practical implementation. We are currently developing our next asset management plan to align with best practices from the ISO 55000 and 55001 requirements.

Learning takeaways:

1. Turning strategic plan into action.
2. The importance of process and technology in work execution.
3. Continuous development of staff is critical for work execution.
