Maintenance & Executive Leaders - Evidence to Change Critical Repair

You must pause and answer this before September ends: What did you save by delaying that repair? The planned repair has a price. So does the shutdown needed to complete it. Those numbers go straight into the decision. But what number did you put against the risk of waiting? If the asset fails in October, the cost may include lost production, emergency work, damaged equipment and commitments you can no longer meet. The R10 million on this week’s cover is a hypothetical scenario, but the decision behind it is one asset leaders face every day. A green September report can tell you that the asset kept running. It may not tell you what people had to do to keep it running, or how long they can continue. In this week’s Asset Intelligence Weekly, I ask what leaders should examine before they carry an unresolved repair into October. If you had to approve or reject one critical repair this week, what evidence would change your decision? I want to hear from both sides of that decision: maintenance and engineering teams who see the condition, and operations and executive leaders who must release the asset and approve the cost. #AssetManagement #ReliabilityEngineering #MaintenanceStrategy #OperationalExcellence #Mining
