“You have to maintain your investment
and focus on your long-term purpose,
but you must focus in on three key
things: being bolder, faster and smarter.”
Steve Bolze
President and CEO
GE Power & Water
 Limited R&M resources
 “Fire-fighting” resulting in costly process downtime
 Rapid technological growth with advanced diagnostic
tools
 Maintaining outdated aging equipment in service
alongside newer more modern equipment
 Incomplete / inaccurate asset and maintenance data
 Identifying the “bad actors”
 Inability to predict the types of failures that can occur
 Lack of equipment-specific strategies
 Collecting and presenting historical reliability and
maintenance (RM) data that is accurate and accessible

 Free from pretense or deceit
 Easily detected or seen through
 Readily understood
 Characterized by visibility or accessibility of
information especially concerning business
practices

 Asset Management Standardization
◦ ISO 55000 released 2014
◦ Asset policies, objectives, and strategies
 Reliability Tools
◦ FMEA, FTA, RBD, etc.
◦ Data collection and analysis
 Communication
◦ Visual Dashboards
 Real-Time (or near Real-Time)
◦ Field instrumentation
◦ Building in diagnostic capabilities
2015 Reliability & Maintenance Conference Page 5
 ISO 55000 series of standards released in 2014
 Benefits of an Asset Management System
◦ Improved regulatory compliance
◦ Sustainable culture change
◦ Capital project avoidance
◦ Reduced material cost
◦ Reduced labor costs
◦ Increased availability
◦ Reduced injuries
 Allows for structured,
traceable continuous
improvement

Consider using streamlined reliability tools during all asset life
cycle phases (and as early as possible) to optimize value!

 Dashboards can transform data into visually rich charts and
graphs, providing insight to make quick and informed plant-wide
or fleet-wide decisions
 Visibility at all Levels
◦ Executives
◦ Managers
◦ Operators
◦ Technicians
 Access to data and easily communicated
 Dashboards can help users to identify trends, sort out issues,
and measure the impact of their maintenance actions
 Real-time analytics and reporting of plant
health can provide management with answers regarding assets
in complex systems
2015 Reliability & Maintenance Conference Page 9
 The goal of R&M transparency is to encourage
positive collaboration over an asset’s life cycle
– and to have the best possible roadmap.
 Building trust, visibility and transparency in an
R&M organization must be done not only with
stakeholders vertically and horizontally but also
externally.
2015 Reliability & Maintenance Conference Page 10
 How is reliability and maintainability considered
early in the design phases within your
organization?
 Do you think R&M transparency and visibility is
achievable in your organization? What are
some of the roadblocks?
 Others?
