The Enterprise Asset Management Association (EAM Association) is pleased to announce the completion of the second book of the two-part edition on the methodology for managing equipment failures. While the first part dealt with the issues of investigation and accounting, the second, being its logical continuation, offers theoretical understanding and practical tools for the analysis and prevention of failures. Here are a few words from the authors of the book. Sidorov V.A.: «I have devoted several years of my working life directly to the investigation of equipment failures, automation of their accounting and standardization of analysis procedures, as well as to production training, including in the framework of improvement measures implementation. And now I will be happy to share my knowledge and experience with you, colleagues!» Sidorov A.V.: «It is important for everyone who, due to their professional activity, is faced with equipment failures not only to know, but also to understand what, how, in what sequence occurred and what to do about it. This is exactly what this manual is about.» Consideration of these issues in the book is based on a comprehensive vision of the process of managing production assets and a systematic approach and is accompanied by a wide illustrative material, a description of practical methods and tools that are recommended for implementation in the conditions of industrial enterprises. Cases from the authors' experience are provided to ensure the best understanding and assimilation of the equipment failure management methodology as an important element of the enterprise asset management system.

Enterprise asset management (EAM) systems are used by asset owners and/or operators to manage the maintenance of their physical assets. These assets, including equipment, facilities, vehicles, and infrastructure, need maintenance to sustain their operations. An EAM system provides the means to have less unplanned downtime and extended asset longevity, which offers clear business benefits that improve the profit and loss statement and balance sheet. Particularly for capital-intensive industries, like drilling and exploration, the failure of on-time delivery of critical equipment or processes is disruptive and costs nonproductive time and customer satisfaction. Organizations understand these issues and employ an appropriate asset management system to engineer their asset maintenance and management. An EAM system is needed to manage the people, assets/equipment, and processes. EAMs are used to plan, optimize, execute, and track the needed maintenance activities with associated priorities, skills, materials, tools, and information. Similarly, nondestructive testing (NDT) is used as a tool for integrity assessment of assets in drilling and exploration. The main advantage of using NDT is that the item’s intended use or serviceability is not affected. The selection of a specific technique should be based on knowledge and skills that include design, material processing, and material evaluation. Validating the purpose of this paper, we emphasize the importance of optimizing the asset utilization and serviceability to enhance overall efficiency by integrating EAM software that manages assets, the operation management system (OMS) controlling the processes, and asset inspection management systems (AIMSs).
