13:20 MINI WORKSHOPS

Reduced operating margins make these challenging times for the oil and petrochemical industry. This leads to pressure to reduce costs, and the maintenance department, as an area of significant expenditure in routine and turnaround maintenance, is frequently a target for savings. However, it is important to understand that

• Maintenance and reliability are interdependent,

• Money on maintenance delivers value by ensuring the integrity, reliability, and availability of the plant.

• Cost cutting can be counter-productive

This workshop uses data to illustrate the financial impact of maintenance strategy optimisation, and will demonstrate that development and refinement of the maintenance strategy can lead to significant performance improvement. The workshop will investigate the use of benchmarking to help set specific action plans and targets for maintenance strategy development. It will also discuss the importance of organisational culture and investment in asset reliability, and provide a road-map for delegates to begin the journey of maintenance strategy optimisation within their own organisations.

Maintenance Strategy Optimisation: What it Means, Why it Matters, and How to Achieve it.Facilitated by: Kevin McQuillan, Senior Consultant, SOLOMON ASSOCIATES

Lessons Learnt from Asset Performance Management System Implementations.Denis Marshment, Operations Director – Advisian Digital

Asset Performance Management solutions are increasingly being adopted by Oil & Gas, Mining and Power sectors in an attempt to realise additional returns on their asset investment and to improve risk management.

As the capabilities of APM systems have continued to expand so too have the number of failed APM implementations. In this workshop we shall discuss some of key risks and challenges associated with APM implementations, explore why APM systems don’t always deliver and discuss how to sustain momentum well after the consultants have left the building.

The key topics addressed in this workshop session:

• What is Asset Performance Management and how does it fit within a new world of Predictive Analytics and IoT?

• How to justify an APM system investment

• Common problems with APM system implementations and how to avoid them

• Sustaining your APM initiative long after the consultants leave
