Optimizing EAM & APM Supported by ISO 55001 Implementation

Abstract

Plant improvement requires various aspects, i.e. proactive maintenance action dictates by effective preventive maintenance (PM) execution, effective condition monitoring which is conducted by comprehensive asset performance management (abbreviated as APM, which consists of maintenance strategy, Asset Health Monitoring, and work management), and consistent guidance of the asset management policy. SAP-PM as enterprise asset management (EAM) in a fertilizer plant in Indonesia, which will be called as IFP, should be optimally utilized in order that all data and information can be known for decision making processes. Practically, comprehensive reliability management or the integrated reliability function (IRF) can be applied to manage this knowledge. Moreover, APM can be used as a fast track for optimal proactive maintenance implementation. Together the EAM and APM collaboration driven by comprehensive reliability management can produce a systematic information and knowledge flow process to improve the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of IFP’s plants by reducing the frequency of Unscheduled Shutdowns. More importantly, reliability management can perform well due to support from asset management criteria guided by ISO 55001. Therefore, a poor information and knowledge delivery system can be overcome by optimizing EAM and APM supported by the implementation of ISO 55001.
