Asset Management? Or, Maintenance Management, Rebranded?

by Ron Moore

The development of PAS55, a British standard for supporting asset management, has had a very positive influence on various maintenance organizations. It’s a good document, one which has been slowly evolving into ISO55000, scheduled for issue in early 2014. According to Terrence O’Hanlon, CEO of Reliabilityweb.com and Uptime magazine, and a member of the ISO standards committee for asset management, ISO55000 is a management systems standard for asset management.

Fixing the Broken Model of Equipment Maintenance for African Farms

For a variety of reasons including food security and a desire to become independent of reliance on oil revenue, several nations in Africa and elsewhere (e.g. Azerbaijan) are working hard to increase agriculture production. However, their efforts are hampered by the fact that the traditional model for the provision equipment maintenance does not work for these countries. TractorExport's new model that features mobile mechanics and just in time parts inventory supply is changing the game for African farms. TractorExport will explain next about the new model and real-world impact.

Demanding Excellence from Your Asset Management System

Organizations that aggressively pursue operational excellence have the best opportunity for enhanced profitability. They also realize value provided from a purpose-built computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), precisely configured to extract knowledge and manage by exception. However, the CMMS is only as good as the surrounding process and roles. Hence, a comprehensive plan is needed that encompasses the entire asset management system to enhance reliability, workforce productivity and job safety.

Most companies begin applying RCA or RCFA to “high value failures”. While this is not wrong, I prefer to either not see the failure in the first place, or at the least, to reduce the failures to a controllable level.
