Operational Excellence

Operational Excellence is the execution of the business strategy more consistently and reliably than the competition, with lower operational risk, lower operating costs, and increased revenues Well it sounds quite desirable, but it means basically nothing.

How can we do that?

Asset Integrity is the ability of the Physical Asset to perform its required Function, effectively and efficiently, whilst safeguarding People, Environment, Asset and Company Reputation.

Asset Integrity Management is a set of systematic and coordinated activities and practices through which each Business Unit deals with the integrity of its Asset, related Systems and Sub Systems, their associated performance, risks and expenditure over their life cycles.

Asset Integrity includes a variety of tools and techniques focussed on achieving the best performance from physical assets. The following points can be highlighted:

- It is a planned programmed and coordinated effort
- Safety is not considered as opposed to production effectiveness but as a precondition for that a safe asset is an asset which runs smoothly, thus achieving business continuity
- The whole life cycle of the asset should be covered i e including both the design phase and the operational one
