- W225609858 abstract "The days of broke/fixed are over. In today's challenging environment, the electric utility industry faces significant, and sometimes competing, demands. Our retail customers want one hundred percent reliability. No blinking clocks. No lost computer data. But they also want rate stability. Paying more for the reliability they want is not a palatable option. ********** Financially, Members in the cooperative world want to continue to see capital credits retired. Shareholders in the public sector want to see their investment grow. Everyone wants return on their investment. These pressures, combined with current economic conditions, have resulted in an environment where do more with less and smarter, not harder are the oft-repeated mantras we must now live by. Now, more than ever, utilities must truly be smarter about how our business is done--not just in the executive offices, but at all levels of the organization. Enter the Smart Grid revolution. An electrical that uses information technologies to improve how electricity travels from power plants to consumers, allows consumers to actually interact with the grid, and enables improved response to power demand, more intelligent management of outages and better integration of renewable forms of energy. But in order to take advantage of smart grid to meet customer expectations while 'doing more with less, utilities must evolve their asset management practices. Most of us remember all too well the operational paradigm of broke/fixed. Indeed, many of us still operate in that mode today. Something breaks, you fix it. The initiating work order says X broken. You close the work order out with one word: fixed. It's a simple, clean way to move work orders and ensure that backlogs aren't created by requiring field personnel to enter copious notes. Yet the broke/fixed approach provided little to no information about the actual state of the assets in the field. Indeed, the broke/fixed paradigm is neither the most efficient nor cost-effective approach, and in today's world, with technology readily available for utilities to effectively manage its systems at all levels, it's continued application is, at best, outdated. At worst, it can be a disaster waiting to happen that can cost utilities, and the customers they serve, millions. Today's necessity to smarter, not harder compels us to think differently--to think in terms of efficiency and effectiveness at all levels of our business, and to leverage technology to get us there. Nowhere is this more evident than in the generation arena. Despite the generally obvious need to perform regular maintenance in order to ensure both reliability and safety, many generation facilities struggle with performing maintenance on equipment in their facilities, be it corrective, preventative, or shutdown work. Managers and workers alike are often very frustrated by doing what turns out to be unnecessary activities on assets, repeat work, repeat preventative work over and over, or not performing work on equipment during an outage and then having the equipment fail on startup or shortly after reaching full load. These frustrating scenarios frequently occur because organizations lack either the understanding of or the discipline to follow a strategy of maintaining the assets that is driven by detailed, asset-based information, rather than by a pre-determined schedule that has little or no basis in current asset information. To be sure, for most utilities, doing this will require a significant cultural shift, based upon recognition of the fact that information-based management of assets is far more effective, both in terms of dollars and resources. And the cultural shift will require not only discipline, but the recognition that the lowly work order truly is the foundation of an effective information-based work management system. …" @default.
