Reliability Excellence (RE) Taking it to the next level Greg Ramon May 1, 2014
Asset Management History 1985 to 2003: Reactive Maintenance Reactive fix it when it breaks 2003 to 2012: Maintenance Excellence Proactive fix it before it breaks 2013 and beyond: Reliability Excellence Risk Based fix critical assets before they break
109 Pumps (2000 HP to 60,000 HP)
Electric Power Facilities
39 Check Structures, 35 Turnouts
6 Communication and Control Facilities
Reactive Maintenance 1985 to 2003 Start-up and operate the system Deliver Arizona s full Colorado River allocation Optimize the use and sale of electric power Reactive Maintenance fix it when it breaks
Improving Maintenance Practices Business Case for Change: Aging infrastructure (20 Years of service) Decreasing system reliability Increasing maintenance cost Poor safety record (30 recordable injuries some Years) Aging Workforce/knowledge transfer Assets control the organization
Maintenance Excellence Objective Reduce accidents and injuries Proactive process fix it before it breaks Organization gains control of the assets Increase Operational Availability (capacity) Manage the Maintenance Budget
Maintenance Excellence Implementation: Perform baseline audit Develop a 5 year Master Plan Evolve the workforce What s in it for me? Design workflow processes, roles, and responsibilities Reorganize to support the new processes Develop metrics to measure performance Perform follow-up assessments to gauge progress

Maintenance Excellence Evaluating Performance First assessment completed March 2003 (baseline) Maintenance reorganized in 2004 and 2005 5 assessments since 2003 (2 external, 3 internal) Last assessment (external) in 2011 by CH2M Hill
2011 CH2M Hill Assessment Objective a. Benchmark CAP s maintenance program b. Perform an organizational review c. Validate CAP s internal assessment process Assessment Process a. Question based survey and employee interviews b. Risk assessment of each audit category c. Risk assessment of seven CAP facilities

Reliability Excellence 2013 to 2016 Objectives: Optimize Maintenance Excellence (continuous improvement) Establish asset criticality relative to Safety and Operations Apply Reliability Centered Maintenance (CBM) process Implement Condition Based Monitoring technologies Risk based process fix or replace just before it breaks prevent failure of critical assets and allow some non-critical assets to run to fail
Reliability Excellence Continuous Improvement
