Maintenance and How Data Can Enable

Safer, More Efficient Production

David Sondergaard
Maintenance overview
Preventative Maintenance
Planned
Based on time interval formed via governing bodies and/or
historical data
Predetermined equipment scope, materials required, and
duration
Scope can be adjusted as necessary based on field inspection

Preventative Maintenance (cont.)
General overview of process
PM shows on maintenance schedule
Planning verifies that materials are available
Scheduling optimizes maintenance personal and work with
existing work schedule
Operations takes equipment down
Maintenance executes with Inspections executing for
integrity and Reliability
PM interval evaluated and reset
Corrective Maintenance
Triggered by event
Potential damage to PEAR
Problem identified by anyone, but scope of issue and solution
unknown
Solution based on field verification, historical data, and
support services
Greater chance for production impact due to delay in
materials / lack of people to execute work at a moment's
notice.

How data can enable production
Properly Formatted Data
Locations
Equipment
Materials

Keep apples with apples & oranges with oranges!
Example of ERP Data Structure
Location: Motor powering pump on train 1
Equipment: Motor with SN:FRQ23523-01-H
Top Level Bill Of Material
Material: Orderable Motor Assembly
Housing Assembly
o Materials: Shroud, etc.
Internal Components
o Materials: Arm, etc.
Wear Components
o Materials: Brushes, etc.


Locations
A location is a physical place in the field or location within
the process
This does not represent equipment, but where equipment is
installed
Work orders are billed to this location
This is material independent
Examples:
Reference numbers on a P&ID or PFD
Equipment
This is where equipment history is stored
Work orders are charged against an equipment within a
location
All equipment data is stored here
Serialization
Specifications
This is not an orderable part / only a container for materials
to be associated to

Materials
Represent anything that is going to be installed within a
location or on a piece of equipment
This will include vendor information, costing, sourcing, etc.
Material is location independent; therefore, within a material
record it is poor practice to store data that is location based

How properly structured data enables
The Business

Contracts and Procurement (C&P) is able to tell current
utilization of materials on site
C&P is able to better forecast consumption of materials from
maintenance events, both preventative and corrective
Planning is able to identify quickly what materials are
required and lead times if not currently stocked
Reliability is able to better assess history of maintenance of
equipment or at a location
Reliability is able to better estimate remaining life and if
modifications to the system need to take place
