Instructor: Norm Poynter

Norm Poynter has been in management consulting with specialization in SAP plant maintenance and integration for the past fourteen years. He has been involved in a variety of projects including system and continuous improvement implementations, best practices, plant turnarounds, re-engineering, process improvements, and process safety development and implementation.

Norm has held management, technical, and functional roles with companies including Agrium, NOVA Chemicals, DuPont, Canexus, Nexen Inc., Marathon Oil, and Suncor. Today, Norm focuses on integration of systems across landscapes to form knowledge execution management systems, asset information management systems, and sustainable groups of core corporate competencies and subject matter (communities of practice). This approach is used to enable standardization, consistency, and productivity through better use of grass roots technologies like SAP.

Workshop Description:

The Master Data workshop is positioned to address issues in a comprehensive, systematic, and interactive format. Our students become inspired to effect real change within their organizations and achieve measurable results.

• Project handover of information (brownfield and greenfield)
• Integration of engineering information and how it can be used
• Identification of maintenance significance and criticality
• Data object definitions
• Line of sight from the work face back to policies, standards and processes
• Field validation techniques
• Governance and technical authority structures

From a technical perspective the course will cover:

• Basic relational data base principles
• Data normalization concepts
• The SAP EAM data model
• MS Access as a simple tool for data collection and enhancement
• Data collection techniques and options
• Applying industry standards to data (e.g. ISO 14224, 15926, 55001)
• Basic ABAP programming concepts

Instructor: Tony Ciliberti, PE

Tony Ciliberti PE is the Principal Engineer for Reliability Dynamics LLC, an engineering and technology company specializing in application of ISO 14224 methods in enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. He is a licensed chemical engineer with 29 years’ experience as a maintenance and reliability engineer in petrochemical, oil and gas, and public utilities sectors. His experience includes four years with SAP Americas’ National Consulting Practice as a Principal Consultant/Solution Architect for large corporate M&R/EAM implementations.

Ciliberti represents the United States as an ANSI-appointed expert member in the International Organization for Standardization Technical Committee 67, Work Group 4 “Reliability Engineering and Technology,” Project Group 1 ISO 14224 “Collection and exchange of reliability and maintenance data for equipment,” and Project Group 2, ISO 20815 “Production Assurance and Reliability Management.” He participates in the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), Process Equipment Reliability Database (PERD) Project, as the PERD ERP Subcommittee Chair.

Workshop Description:

ISO 14224 provides a comprehensive basis for the collection of reliability and maintenance data in a standard format for equipment. It is a tried and tested methodology, having been used successfully for over 35 years as part of OREDA, the Offshore REliability DAtabase Project. While the standard was developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, its methodology can be applied to any industry. Its use can benefit asset-intensive companies with standard methods for obtaining high-quality equipment reliability data and using those data to optimize profitability, safety, and compliance. Version 3 of the standard is currently in development, with an anticipated release date for October 2016.

This workshop gives in-depth practical guidance on the use of ISO 14224 methods and their application in SAP software. Attendees will receive hands-on instruction on data-mapping, technical structuring, development of new taxonomy class definitions, malfunction reporting, consequence assessment, preventive maintenance condition reporting, reliability data quality assurance, data merging, and use of standard SAP reporting for corporate-wide failure metrics.

Instructor: John Woodhouse

John is CEO of the consulting and training organization, TWPL. With a personal senior management background in the oil industry (esp. Shell O&G and refining) and major engineering (Kvaerner), he launched TWPL in 1995 as a consortium of former senior industrial managers to provide pragmatic advice, training and support in physical asset-dependent organizations. John is also Founder, Fellow and Chair of the Panel of Experts for the Institute of Asset Management. He chaired the BSI/IAM development of the PAS 55 standard for optimal management of physical assets, and was UK Expert Representative in the development of the first International Standard for Asset Management (ISO55000). He has also led the development of the first published Asset Management Competences Framework (IAM 2006), and the International MACRO & SALVO collaboration programs in cost/risk optimization of asset management decisions and life cycle management. John is also author of the book ‘Managing Industrial Risk’, Publ. Chapman & Hall, 1993 and ‘Asset Management Decisions: the SALVO Process’, Publ. TWPL 2014, and lecturers widely around the world at conferences, and through university and in-house management training programs.

A 5-year multi-industry collaboration program (the SALVO Project) has yielded remarkable insights into the better use of existing data and expert knowledge – within a disciplined process for improving decisions about buying, building, operating, maintaining, modifying and replacing physical assets.

This highly interactive workshop will share these findings and explore how a better understanding of decision-making can radically change priorities for what data is worth collected, why, and how it should be used in the business. It quantifies the $$-value of existing information, and shows how uncertainty and expert opinion can be quantified and incorporated, to complement more objective data sources.

Most importantly, the workshop will help participants to ‘close the loop’ in supporting real business improvements to manage risk, raise performance and control life cycle costs.
