AMDG - Asset Master Data Governance and AMOC - Asset Management of Change
There’s more to AMDG than most people think, and can only be achieved with a disciplined and quality-based AMOC
AMOC is a specialised process that focuses on changes related to physical assets within an organisation.
Here are just some of the components of a good AMOC process
Asset Identification: Clearly identify the assets and components that will be affected by the proposed change.
Establish and Agree an Approval Process: Approval may be granted to designated individuals or committees depending on the magnitude of the change and risks. An established enterprise Delegation policy and workflow procedure is necessary.
Risk Assessment and Regulatory Compliance: Conduct a thorough risk assessment to understand the potential impact on asset performance, reliability, safety, environmental and regulatory compliance.
Engineering and Logistics Evaluation: Assess the technical feasibility and compatibility of the proposed change with existing assets and supply logistics.
Maintenance and Reliability: Assess the impact on asset maintenance requirements, reliability, and life cycle costs. Consider factors such as equipment availability, maintenance schedules, spare parts availability, and asset performance metrics.
Operational Impact Assessment: Evaluate the potential impact and downtime on asset operations, production processes, and workflow efficiency.
Change Implementation Plan: Develop a detailed plan to manage the change effectively - it should include well-defined roles and responsibilities, communications, a data and document quality dashboard, milestones, timelines, budgets, and resources.
Training and Competency Assessment: Provide training and support to personnel involved in implementing and operating the changed assets, ensuring necessary skills, knowledge, and competencies.
Commissioning and Validation: Define performance criteria for commissioning and validation activities to ensure that the assets operate safely, reliably, and efficiently.
Documentation and Records: Maintain documentation of the change process, including design specifications, technical drawings, permits, approvals, and other relevant records.
Asset Lifecycle Updates: Update UNS (Unified NameSpace) data and automate updates to asset warranty data, maintenance strategies, parts and sourcing data, inventory, budget, costing methods, and related systems like GIS, OMS, and Reporting.
Monitoring and Continuous Improvement: Monitor the performance of the changed assets over time and identify opportunities for optimisation and extensibility.
