The Challenge:
Our client plays a global leadership role in producing molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), which then becomes technetium-99m (Tc-99m) and is used in hospitals and medical centres for the diagnosis of heart disease, cancer and musculoskeletal conditions.
Our client required an expert Asset Management (AM), Specialist, to conduct an independent review of their draft AM framework and improvement program, to assure that they were on a sound path to Asset Management excellence and that leading practice is being adopted in regards to Asset Management, aligned to ISO55001.
The Solution:
Utilise a 12-element Asset Management (AM) Evaluation tool, aligned to ISO55001, to evaluate the current organisation’s strengths and opportunities and provide a gap analysis regarding the elements of their framework and AM leading practice. Based on the evaluation results, provide advice on developing the proposed AM framework into a Strategic Plan and AM Plan(s), as per ISO 55000 and the AM Landscape.
The Plans would bridge the identified gaps to align the AM Policy and the ‘on-the-ground AM activities. This includes the approach to organisational roles and responsibilities to improve accountability for AM functions and embed an improved asset reliability/performance culture within the organisation, with recommended strategies for implementing the change.
The Results:
A detailed report with benchmarked scores for all 12 Asset Management elements aligned to ISO55001, and recommendations for:
- Development of an AM Policy for the business
- Refinement of the AM framework for implementation
- Organisational structure and roles and responsibilities for AM
- Approach for optimisation of the business processes for PM optimisation
- Business processes for maintenance work management.
