Instrumentation Maintenance Strategy Improvement Case Study

Our client’s Asset was a 435MW Combined Cycle power station, capable of powering 200,000 homes. It had been operational for six years.

The site maintenance team was charged with ensuring that the sites critical operational instrumentation was being correctly inspected and reported, utilising the corporate Computer Maintenance Management System (CMMS), Maximo.

Previously, the team had been unable to develop and implement the correct Maintenance strategies for each these assets, as there were in excess of 900 instrumentation items.

This left the power station vulnerable.

EnterpriseIS developed a process to ensure that all of the Clients instruments were captured and had the correct Maintenance Strategy applied, based upon the statutory requirements for each item in the CMMS. 

This included updating all Work Instructions to reflect the individual statutory requirements, including the correct data in Maximo, and enabling the correct documents to be printed at the planning and work package compilation stage.

In most instances, completely new Work Instructions, and Maximo Job Plans & PMs, needed to be created utilising the client’s controlled document system processes.
