This research involves measuring maintenance productivity and seeks to measure how maintenance of equipment affects the overall productivity of the company. The Stewart Utility Concept was used along with a scaling factor. Performance measures were identified and their values were obtained. Five productivity ratios were employed to obtain the overall maintenance productivity. Results from the graphs showed that Equipment Availability was 78.32%; Emergency Failure Intensity Ratio was 28.4%; Maintenance Cost Component was 32.39/btl; Cost of Maintenance hour was N125, 081/hr; Routine Service Worked was 92.03% and Cost of Reduction was 5.32hr/N. The overall maintenance productivity of the period under review was fairly good though there is room for improvement. Average overall maintenance productivity was found to be 63.2%. This is an indication that there were evaluations and review of maintenance productivity within the period.

In current literature and practices, there are no systematic and user-oriented intermodal transportation performance measures. After identifying customer needs and transportation goals, this paper proposes a set of system-level performance measures for intermodal transportation that are user-oriented, scalable, systematic, and scientific. The measures can be used to compare intermodal design alternatives or to evaluate existing transportation systems with any size and any mode. The highway system in Mississippi is analyzed as a case study. The case study demonstrates the existing data sources, the methods of calculating the measures, and the means of evaluating transportation systems with the measures.

Abstract Abandonment is considered to be the last stage in the oil gas field cycle. Oil and gas industries around the world are bounded by the necessity of creating an abandonment program which is technically sound, complied to the stringent HSE requirement and to be cost-effective. Abandonment strategies were always planned as early as during the field development plan. When there are no remaining opportunities left or no commercially viable hydrocarbon is present, the field need to be abandoned to save operating and maintenance cost. The cost associated on abandonment can often be paid to the host government periodically and can be cost recoverable once the field is ready to be abandoned. In Malaysia, some of the oil producing fields are now in the late life of production thus abandonment strategies are being studied comprehensively. The interest of this paper is to share the case study of one of a field that is in its late life of production and has wells and facilities that planned to be abandon soon. The abandonment in this field is challenging because it involves two countries, as this field is in the hydrocarbon structure that straddling two countries. Series of techno-commercial discussion were held between operators of these two countries to gain an integrated understanding of the opportunity, defining a successful outcome of the opportunity and creating an aligned plan to achieve successful abandonment campaign. Thus, this paper will discuss on technical aspects of creating a caprock model, the execution strategies of abandoning the wells and facilities and economic analysis to study whether a joint campaign between the operators from two countries yields significantly lower costs or otherwise.

This chapter provides insights from a large UK construction organisation case study where communities of practice have been supported through use of a software tool and management approach that encourages their spread across the organisation. We provide a descriptive characterisation of what the community of practice (COP) software tool does, how it evolved, and anecdotal evidence from interviews with its users of its value to the UK case study organisation. We recognise the need to investigate COP value generation more formally, and we have developed a research proposal to undertake further work in a collaborative study with industry to provide useful COP performance measures to be undertaken. This chapter provides valuable insights from several years’ reflection upon the tool’s use and application, and we highlight both drivers and barriers to its deployment. The objective was to provide a practical example of what COP management tools could and should address.

Measures Of Performance

This case study describes an initiative to change a long-standing performance management process at a large manufacturing facility within General Mills that emphasized the attainment of objective performance measures (the “what” of performance) to one that also included the “how” of goal achievement. The organization embarked on a 3-year pilot evaluation of the use of 360 Feedback as a possible solution to replace or supplement their traditional single-source (supervisor) performance appraisal process. The two systems ran in parallel using 140 randomly selected employees. Results showed little correlation between the what measures of performance from the traditional appraisals and the how data collected using the 360 Feedback, supporting the view that job performance should be viewed as requiring both aspects of evaluation, using different methods of assessment. Ultimately, the organization maintained both systems but integrated 360 Feedback into the traditional appraisals as well, creating complementary processes that looked “forward” (development) and “past” (performance).

Despite recognition of accountability for school counselors, no clear set of interrelated performance measures exists to guide school counselors in collecting and evaluating data that relates to student academic success. This article outlines four critical domains of accountability for school counselors (i.e., grades, attendance, disciplinary referrals, and suspension) that can be generalized across primary and secondary levels, geography, region, location, and culture. The authors present a case study to demonstrate the four critical domains of accountability and establish school counselors as key players in promoting academic success.

The scope of modern power plant controls usually includes plant DCS, boiler control and protection, steam/gas turbine governor and protection, auxiliaries control, automatic voltage controller, automatic synchronizer and operator/engineering stations. Usually these control packages come from different manufacturers (OEM). They are typically based on various electronic hardware and software platforms. Different communication protocols often present problems during system integration; and maintenance costs of these various electronic hardware and software platforms are normally greater than that of a stand alone system. Advantages of an integrated, distributed, open architecture, digital system, (Fig. 1) which covers all the power plant needs are discussed in this paper. A common electronic hardware/ software platform allows optimization of the new constructions and upgrades, shorten delivery and commissioning time, and improve availability and safety of the new and upgraded power plants. Specific benefits of this concept are presented in the Mt. Poso controls upgrade Case Study. The common electronic hardware/ software platform installed at Mt. Poso allowed optimization of the upgrade, shortened commissioning time, improved availability, reliability and safety and reduced maintenance cost of the control systems.
