Simon Mills devised the methodology and managed the project in Saudi Arabia, assisted by an electrical power distribution specialist from Mott
McDonald, and undertook the review over a 6 month periodThe audit was completed for 35 Operations and Maintenance activities of the Transmission Department. This initially identified 30 key asset management
challenges, grouped into equipment, personnel and procedural focused lists. From these, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were identified and established. A detailed site audit and subsequent improvement planning
process resulted in 179 specific recommendations. These recommendations were ranked by utilising a sophisticated cost-benefit model, resulting in the identification of 25 high priority actions. Benefits
Payback on the top 25
recommended actions was projected to be SR 3.7 million for a cost of SR 0.4 million. These benefits were derived primarily from improved work methods that allow the work to be performed more efficiently. Additional
health & safety and staff morale benefits were also identified. The review also delivered a detailed specification for the selection, procurement and implementation of an Enterprise Asset Management System (EAMS)
