“…Underlying this argument it is important to explore the impact of quality management orientation on maintenance performance. Furthermore, it has been acknowledged by many authors that maintenance is a major contributor to the performance and profitability of manufacturing systems (Al-Najjar and Alsyouf 2003, Al-Najjar and Alsyouf 2004, Parida and Kumar 2006, Kans and Ingwald 2008. Selecting an appropriate maintenance policy (Chan and Prakash 2012) is essential for companies to maintain their competitiveness, and to consider the "soft" aspects (i.e.…”

This paper aims to examine the relationship between quality management orientation dimensions and maintenance performance. The concept of quality management orientation is proposed and defined as a set of norms and values regarding customer orientation, quality responsibility, prevention, and process orientation. Empirical data was drawn from a sample of Slovenian organizations in order to address the research question. The data was analysed using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The findings indicate that quality management orientation is important predictor of maintenance performance. Data analysis results also show that quality management orientation dimensions are positively related to maintenance performance. By testing the impact of quality management orientation on maintenance performance, this study shows that strong foundation on quality management orientation is an effective way of improving maintenance performance.

“…Thus, it is advocated that it is necessary for AM implementation to have an asset common database where all the data about each asset and its components are stored together (Al-Najjar & Basim 1996;Kans & Ingwald 2008). The asset database would provide basic reference to information regarding assets' properties, usable for strategic, tactical and operational decisions.…”

Abstract:The aim of this paper is to investigate Asset Management (AM) implementation as a business process within production systems to contribute to operational excellence. The main fundamentals to be considered to properly implement AM within production companies according to the existing literature and standards are identified and they are: two dimensions -i.e., the asset life cycle (Beginning of Life, Middle of Life, End of Life phases) and the hierarchical level of the asset-control activities (strategic level, tactical level, operational level) -and four funding principles -i.e., life-cycle orientation, system orientation, risk orientation and asset-centric orientation. An empirical investigation is then developed through multiple case-study involving eight production companies in Italy, in order to assess the level of orientation towards those funding principles within production companies as it is nowadays, in order to identify existing gaps and areas for improvements.

“…What is generally recognized is that both technical and financial data are needed. The major challenge in obtaining the required data is that they are heterogeneous, hence they are usually scattered among separate information systems (administrative IT systems, industrial IT and non-automatic sources) (Moore & Starr 2006;Kans & Ingwald 2008). May it be at IT level or not, it is widely agreed that integration must facilitate the bi-directional flow of data and information into the decision-making at all levels (Moore & Starr 2006).…”

“…The core idea is that, a common asset database should be developed where for each asset, at different aggregation level different data can be stored all together. The asset database would provide basic reference to information regarding assets' properties for strategic decisions (Kans & Ingwald 2008;Tam & Price 2008). …”

ISO 55000 puts 'value' at the core of asset management. This paper provides a framework to help production companies implement value-based Asset Management (AM) in a way that it contributes to operational excellence. Valuebased AM is achieved when the value delivered by assets is used by the organization as the key decision criterion to choose between different AM options (both at tactical and operational level). Given this perspective, it is vital that organizations are able to quantify the value delivered by their assets and manage that value through informed and coherent decision-making. Value-based AM is still a concept more quoted in theory than described in practical terms. A clear understanding about the main elements that are needed to enable it is still missing in industrial practice. The framework presented in this paper provides the key elements needed for successful integration of a value quantification model with the AM system to ensure the effective implementation of value-based approach in AM.
