=======================================
6. Goals
This element will deliver cost-effective solutions, adaptable to specific operations, to determine optimum facility operating conditions, maintain operations within the performance envelope, provide real-time condition assessment, predict problems before they arise, and enhance performance of the asset over its life cycle.
O&M decisions and service functions will be based on a fully integrated consideration of all lifecycle, environmental, cost, and performance factors supported by accurate, current, and complete data captured from the installed technologies and fed to the Asset Lifecycle Information System.
Self-maintaining, self-repairing facilities, systems, and equipment will enable safe, secure, continuously optimized operations with near-zero downtime and with no undue effects to health, safety, or the environment.
These systems will feed information into the Asset Lifecycle Information System making the data available in every phase of the lifecycle, from project planning and design to construction and to eventual facility decommissioning. The integration of this data fabric will enable better decision making at all levels and through all stakeholders.
