| 摘要： | An annual survey of 360 asset managers across industry, including a sector labelled transport and storage, with 24 respondents, provides some food for thought. While 60% of survey respondents across industry had experienced unplanned downtime in the past year, the corresponding figure for transportation and storage specifically was lower - at 42%. One possible explanation, proposed by the software vendor, is that the sector puts extra effort into avoiding unplanned downtime. However, when asked if they knew the average cost per hour of downtime, only 18% of all asset managers said yes. In transportation and storage, even fewer - 4% - were aware. Again, this may reflect an assumption that this sector knows very well that downtime is costly - even if that cost is not quantified - and is already making strenuous efforts to avoid it, speculates Ultima. Without effective systems and processes for managing and communicating information, an organisation has limited ability to retain and share its gathered data and the cumulative experience of its workforce, it points out. In the survey, poor communication between different teams is revealed to be one of the biggest risks to uptime. Transportation and storage asset managers appear to consider poor communication as big a risk as ageing assets; both issues were rated the biggest issue by 29% of the samples. By comparison, poor communication was only listed as the biggest risk to uptime by 16% of industry as a whole. |
