BUENAS PRÁCTICAS PARA LA IMPLEMENTACIÓN DE LA GESTIÓN DE ACTIVOS DESDE LA ETAPA DE DISEÑO EN LA GESTIÓN DE PROYECTOS

Abstract

The key to achieve the optimal cost-effectiveness and reliability of a product/facility, is applying the asset management concepts from the earliest design or project stage (particularly in the definition and development phases).The availability increase can be achieved through the reliability management from the design stage and adding improvements to operations and maintenance procedures. At this stage, the application of asset management tools has a great importance and opportunity to favorably impact the results, as the project is flexible enough to be modified or redesigned, without a high impact of costs. Otherwise, if asset management improvements are applied once the design is “frozen, any change or modification will substantially impact on costs. The present article intends to explore those techniques and tools for applying good asset management practices from design stage, based on the international norms and standards and on our experience as consultants.
