Asset Information Handover
Owner/Operators need secure, auditable methods of sending and receiving information to and from engineering projects, suppliers and equipment vendors.
Capital project slippage and turnaround delays are often
a result of failing to handover asset documents and drawings on a
timely basis.
Throughout the asset lifecycle, information is continuously
exchanged between equipment vendors, suppliers, engineering
projects (internal and external) and operations and maintenance.
Poor asset information management processes can impact an
owner/operator's ability to manage its physical assets.
The biggest cost of poor handover is found in Operations
& Maintenance.
Capital projects generate large volumes of documents, drawings
and associated metadata that need to be made available to internal
business processes, and ultimately Operations and Maintenance
teams. Effectively managing this information exchange is key
to ensuring assets remain efficient, safe and compliant.
- Information created during Design & Build phases must be
handed over
- Owners/Operators review incoming
documents, request changes and add
comments
- Updated information must be handed back to engineering projects
for modifications
- Historical information is used by engineering projects as
reference material
- Owner/Operators rely on historical information for
regulatory compliance
- Operations & Maintenance history is used during plant
upgrades to evaluate the performance of existing equipment
- Vendors and suppliers handover drawings, diagrams, maintenance
manuals etc. associated with purchase orders
- Operations & Maintenance need access to validated as-built
documents
Enterprise Engineer manages handover from both internal
and external parties and the management of change of asset
documents.
- Validation tools ensure vendor and supplier document metadata
meets business rules
- Default review, consolidation and submission dates ensure
contracts are met
- In-built review processes allow comment documents and mark-ups
to be collated and consolidated internally, and then sent back to
external parties for further revision
- External parties securely access marked-up documents and
comments
- In-built management of change processes manage asset document
revisions
- Concurrent engineering processes enable engineers to work in
parallel
- Distribution Matrix automatically ensure the right person
receives the right document
