Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on digital twins in asset management in good years and paid for in bad ones. Spares strategy for asset management is an availability decision disguised as a cost decision. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this aspect of engineering and maintenance work under scrutiny. It is designed for mixed groups, so that digital twins in asset management is examined from more than one functional angle. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the engineering and maintenance work capability hard in practice. The version of asset management described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better digital twins in asset management is rarely technical. It treats asset management as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants leave with a plan for this part of engineering and maintenance work sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.

  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for digital twins in asset management.
  • Specify condition monitoring on asset management that gives usable warning time.

Session 2Moving asset management from approval to execution

  • Identify critical spares for digital twins in asset management and confirm lead times against consequence.
  • Confirm lubrication, alignment and balance standards applied to asset management.
  • Estimate the true cost of one hour of unplanned downtime on digital twins in asset management.

Session 1What to measure in asset management and what to ignore

  • Establish what evidence demonstrates digital twins in asset management is under control.
  • Choose the maintenance strategy for asset management based on failure pattern, not tradition.
  • Build the life cycle cost model supporting repair or replace on digital twins in asset management.
  • Compare the cost of asset management with the cost of its absence.

Session 2Building lasting competence in asset management

  • Agree what will be standardised in digital twins in asset management and what will not.
  • Name a single owner for each element of asset management.

03

Asset management: life cycle cost, repair versus replace

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Isolating asset management safely before work begins

  • Record the rationale for each significant choice made about digital twins in asset management.
  • List the credible failure modes of asset management and the consequence of each.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to digital twins in asset management will be introduced.

Session 2Repair or replace: making the case on digital twins in asset management

  • Confirm that those complying with digital twins in asset management understand why it exists.
  • Set maintenance indicators for asset management that reward planning rather than heroics.
  • Assign a criticality rating to digital twins in asset management that drives work order priority.
  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on asset management.
04

  • Review the last twelve months of maintenance history for asset management.
  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for digital twins in asset management.
  • Calculate the ratio of planned to reactive work on asset management.
