Abstract

23rd of July 1984 Illinois Union oil refinery explosion, 5th of May 1988 Louisiana Shell Refinery explosion, 6th of July 1988 Piper Alpha disaster, 23rd of March 2005 Texas City Refinery explosion, 20th of April 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the gulf of Mexico and finally 6th of July 2013 Lac-Megantic Quebec Canada. Where is the problem coming from? Is it multi criteria decision making problem? How do we need to optimised maintenance activities and cost? Is it safe to consider Run to Failure (RTF) strategy for any equipment? Is it cost effective to implement Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) for any equipment? Is it right time to look at the strategic from more strategic level than operational level? This study identified factors that influence policies and practices of maintenance management to improve asset management from more strategic level than operational level. Criteria identification process was carried out through an extensive literature review and roundtable discussion with experts. The correlations of these criteria and the relative importance of one criterion with respect to the others were identified.
