When assets are not looked after thoroughly, chances are they will eventually malfunction. The best-case scenario is you have time to fix them before they are required to perform. But failures do happen at the worst possible time.

To avoid failures, organisations should practice operational readiness. That is when your organisation manages its physical assets and facilities to ensure they are in a state of preparedness.

This ultimately enables organisations to maximise asset utilisation, minimise downtime, ensure safety compliance and deliver superior products or services, ultimately leading to improved profitability and a competitive edge in the industry.

Smooth Commissioning and Start-Up: Involves meticulous planning and execution of commissioning and start-up processes. This includes activities such as equipment testing, system integration, personnel training and operational simulations.

By properly preparing for commissioning and start-up, organisations can minimise disruptions, shorten the time to full operational capacity and achieve a smoother transition from construction or refurbishment phases to regular operations.

Optimal Resource Allocation: By implementing efficient maintenance systems, organisations can optimise the allocation of resources such as maintenance labour, spare parts and equipment.

Maintenance activities can be prioritised based on statutory requirements and asset criticality and potential impact on operations. This enables better planning, scheduling and utilisation of resources, resulting in improved operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
