In my experience, companies tend to install and commission operating equipment quickly so that it may contribute to the bottom line as soon as possible. Some do a better job than others of analyzing the equipment and determining the preventive and predictive maintenance activities necessary to get the most out of the equipment. Once these activities are determined, they tend to continue on in perpetuity. Equipment/instrument and spare parts data are loaded as well, and are rarely updated. As the equipment ages and changes are made, change management systems may or may not capture updated data. This causes more work for the crafts persons, less efficiency in maintenance activities, and decision making with outdated or incorrect data.
