"The main goal of Asset Performance Management is to synchronize
operations, maintenance, IT, and corporate goals to improve profitability
and shareholder value. This requires visibility into all aspects of the
asset lifecycle in addition to having real-time information about the asset
condition," says Mehul Shah, Research Analyst. "Best-in-Class companies are
leveraging dashboards, analytics, risk management, and remote monitoring
devices to ensure that asset and production information is available to
their employees and is integrated with business systems to enable timely
and informed decisions. The report provides a roadmap for organizations
planning to implement a successful Asset Performance Management initiative
based on practices adopted by Best-in-Class companies."
Based on the above findings, Shah adds the following recommendations to
achieve Best-in-Class performance:
-- Establish support from the executive management for asset performance
strategies across the enterprise.
-- Invest in Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Condition Based
Maintenance (CBM) to proactively monitor and manage asset performance.
-- Invest in analytics to truly understand the value of asset and
production data and enable effective decisions.
-- Align operations performance to financial and corporate performance by
integrating EAM solutions with business solutions such as Business
Intelligence (BI) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).
