To assure this, it is imperative that all safety critical equipment and assets are identified, and the operational, maintenance and inspection routines are defined with the appropriate performance standard tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equally, to maintain the business obligations to customers at all times, it is important to identify all business critical assets, and put in place effective maintenance that will assure sustained reliability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"634\" height=\"845\" src=\"https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LNG-expanded-web-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-122413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LNG-expanded-web-edited.jpg 634w, https:\/\/abl-group.com\/abl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/LNG-expanded-web-edited-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-challenges-faced-by-the-client\"><strong>Challenges faced by the client <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The client had previously obtained an equipment criticality analysis from a local source however the outcome and findings were not detailed enough to understand how the classification had been decided.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There was no audit trail or reasoning provided from the outsourced equipment criticality analysis to the client which created a vague decision process and low confidence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The client had a risk matrix that required updates with regards to likelihood and severity parameters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The corporate risk matrix procedures parameters required improved alignment with the parameters in the client\u2019s 5&#215;5 risk matrix table.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-did\"><strong>What we did <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ABL <strong>reviewed the scope of the client\u2019s corporate guide document<\/strong> and found it was limited to the definition of the process for assessing equipment criticality within the asset.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Through an iterative process, we explored the best reference parameters for the risk matrix and <strong>implemented the improvements to the client\u2019s guide document<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The risk matrix improvement is now contained within the client\u2019s guide document and will provide <strong>a basis for future equipment criticality<\/strong> as their prescribed 5 year review cycle indicates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The process in the guide considers the aspects of Safety, Environmental, Economic and Business impact in determining equipment criticality.

ABL\u2019s cloud-based master data build and optimisation software capable of saving up to 50% on time and cost efficiencies compared to traditional methods. By seamlessly integrating with existing ERP, CMMS and workflows, Effio\u2122 provides a one stop solution for controlled, efficient, consistent, and connected deployment of an asset management strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Effio\u2122 was used across the entire project scope for this client, providing the following benefits: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Centralised data<\/strong> in one place with all changes (including approvals) recorded in the audit log<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multi-user access<\/strong>
