This paper was originally presented at the Enterprise Asset Management Summit and the Reliability Centered Maintenance Managers’ Forum

Asset Basic Care programs use operations, maintenance and/or lubrication staff to physically inspect and verify the operating condition of work areas, processes, and fixed / mobile assets. Some of the topics that will be covered in this paper include:

• What is Asset Basic Care?

• How can Asset Basic Care programs be implemented?

• Automated Asset Basic Care programs – an alternative to paper-based inspection methods.

• Tools and technology for automated Asset Basic Care.

• Review the key elements to ensure a successful Asset Basic Care implementation.

The goal of this paper is to show that an asset basic care program can be an effective foundation to preventive and predictive maintenance program. Asset basic care can also make a profound contribution to any organization implementing a Six Sigma quality strategy. Most importantly, basic care can have a significant positive effect on asset availability, as well as reduce operations and maintenance expenditures in the achievement of increased asset reliability.
