Applying ISO 14224 Standard to improve Plant Maintenance , Reliability and Safety
Course Description

In the petroleum, natural gas, and petrochemical industries, great attention is being paid to the safety, reliability, and maintainability of equipment.  Data collection is an investment. Data standardization, when combined with enhanced data management systems that allow the electronic collection and transfer of data, can result in improved quality of data for reliability and maintenance. 

While ISO 14224 was developed for the Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Petrochemical industries, the same process can and should be applied in any organization.   When implemented, the right data can be gathered not only to eliminate defects from current assets but also to design more efficient and reliable equipment.   Remember, the equipment will only operate at the inherent level of reliability, which is established in the design phase.  So, by learning from the existing equipment and its performance, the designs can be improved to increase the level of inherent reliability. 

All of these improvements in design and changes to existing assets need to be validated with the proper analysis.  This analysis can only be done when the data is accurate, complete, and provided in the right context.  The right data with the right context should include; 

  • Asset’s technical characteristics 

  • Operating conditions of the asset 

  • Environmental conditions in which the asset is operated in 

  • Potential failures 

  • Maintenance activities 

  • Failures 

Utilizing a standard such as this in a single plant will provide some value, but when utilizing the ISO 14224 approach across multiple sites, or organizations is when the benefits are truly realized.  This realization occurs because the amount of data captured grows at a much quicker pace, allowing the analysis to become more meaningful and accurate.  With all of this in mind, how can any industry apply ISO 14224 to their industry?  First, it is important to understand the ISO standard and this is the target of the course which will also include a lot of examples and case studies.
