For APM to be successful, both operations and maintenance must be considered together.
But in most manufacturing companies today, operations management drives improved asset utilisation while maintenance management drives improved asset availability.
The two are approached independently.
However, during his workshop Cooper will show how APM balances availability together with asset utilisation to drive business value.
He argues that by focusing on three levels - base asset management such as field devices and equipment, asset set optimisation such as equipment sets or groups, and asset performance management - it is possible to get better information about all plant resources and therefore improve their economic performance.
This new holistic approach to managing plant assets in order to drive business value is, says Cooper, the foundation for true APM.
MAINTEC runs from 14-16 March at The Pavilion in the Birmingham NEC.
Over 150 key suppliers are attending while 44 free technical workshops are tackling subjects as diverse as condition monitoring, contract maintenance, energy management, health and safety, property maintenance and training.
