Physical Asset Management

The purpose of most equipment in

product destined to downstream customers.
Ultimately the focus is on meeting customer
needs. This is illustrated in Figure 1.

Reporting and Use of Key Performance
Indicators

Maintenance and reliability business
process metrics (leading indicators) provide
a clear indication of compliance to the
maintenance business process. They
indicate where to take specific action
because of a gap in the way maintenance is
being performed. This gap in the execution
of the maintenance process will ‘eventually’
lead to asset failure(s). The consequence of
these failures translates into poor
manufacturing performance.

These key performance indicators should be
aligned with defined roles and
responsibilities for the maintenance function
against the assets for which they apply.
For example, a planner responsible for ‘Area
A’ would be responsible for the planning
function key performance indicators for the
‘Area A’ assets.

The manager responsible for ‘Area A’ assets
would monitor all process and result metrics
for Area A. Each metric should roll up the
asset hierarchy, in alignment with individual
responsibility for the assets. Management
action is directed at improving compliance
with the requirements of Work Identification,
Planning, Scheduling, Execution and Follow-
up. In this way, the process is managed
leading to world class results. This logic is
repeated at each level of management in the
organization. At the plant and/or corporate
level, management is exercising
accountability for plant-wide maintenance
metrics, both process and results.
