1. Maintenance Data Analytics

You are assigned the task to review the maintenance effectiveness for four boilers operating at multiple locations of a local industry. Specifications and functions of the boilers are as follows.

Asset Code	Steam Produced (Tons/hr)	Operating Pressure (kPa)	Year of Manufacture	Function
Boiler A	60	1720	1965	Continuous operation (*)
Boiler B	320	4200	1995	Supply steam at high pressure for turbine driving 39MW power generator and for sugar mill process
Boiler C	200	1440	1976	Main boiler at site, supply steam to multiple small turbines driving power generators and steam for sugar mill process
Boiler D	60	1440	1964	Low Pressure Boiler

(*) - Only this boiler is operated throughout the year. Boilers B, C and D are in service only during the crushing season

The maintenance data for five years (01-Jan-2014 to 31-Dec-2018) for these assets is provided. In individual tabs of each excel file, Functional Locations, Notifications, Work Orders, (Preventive) Maintenance Plans, Cost & damage codes are provided. Also provided are the Organisation's risk matrix, definitions for work order types and master list of codes.

While this is the best available source of truth, the data cannot be considered perfect. As a result, careful consideration and documentation of assumptions, proposals and justifications are required to support your findings.

Task

You are required to create a Technical Report analysing and comparing the maintenance performance of these boilers. Analysis could be based on compliance to existing Preventive Maintenance Strategy, quantum Unplanned Work, types of faults found, adequacy of existing PM strategy, uptime, Cost of Maintenance (Planned vs. Unplanned), capital projects, best and worst performing sub-assets etc. to name a few. Comparison may be made among equivalent asset systems across the four boilers.

The report shall also contain your recommendations on actions to be taken to each boiler / sub-system to improve its performance. (Report length - Max. 2000 words, not considering those in tables and charts)

2. Individual Research

Carry out individual reading on the following topics and present your learnings on each of the topics below. (Max. 500 words per topic, excluding references)
2.1 Asset Life Cycle Costing
2.2 MIMOSA standard for asset management
2.3 MANTIS project on asset management
