Lessons
Learned: Application of Asset Management Principles in Power Plant Operations
and Maintenance
John
Burnett, Operations Director, NAES
· A number of examples from different power plants with
lessons from application of asset management principles and ISO 55000.
· Examples will include how effective asset management has
enhanced process safety, and how consideration of Human Factors can aid
implementation.
· Lessons will be drawn from assets across the asset life
cycle, giving insight from the beginning, middle and end of a plant’s
operations

·
Expectations
and buy in - It’s not magic, but it can help.
· Solve a problem - Digital, AI, Machine Learning, Industry
5.0 promise to add value, but how?
· Working with people - Data is central to digitalisation,
but the people are critical.
· Make it last – ensuring that the value return continues
and grows with time.
· Case study – anomaly detection supporting operations
