K2 is committed to ensuring that operational readiness is achieved by combining of all services offered via an integrated team and plan to ensure optimum results across all disciplines. K2 Technology will ensure that this is achieved by means of: ONGOING SUPPORT K2 has the resources and capabilities to commit to the provision of an integrated team under experienced and professional leadership, with the ability to provide ongoing engineering support in a variety of areas and disciplines. OWNERSHIP & ACCOUNTABILITY By closely collaborating with clients operational staff, K2 can provide the necessary guidance to ensure that systems are fit for purpose and that a high level of ownership exists within clients operations, maintenance and supply chain staff. ADAM SUPPORT Using our proprietary purpose-built Asset, Data, Analysis and Management (ADAM) software, we are able to help all personnel involved with the project understand the relevance and importance of the final deliverable prior to the loading of the data, as well as effectively manage all data and reviews throughout a project. QUALITY DATA By closely collaborating with clients commissioning and engineering teams, K2 can provide the necessary guidance and skills to ensure that the optimum quantity and quality of data is collected and loaded to client s systems. 15

14 The most significant advantage of ADAM is the ability to manage project data and reviews via one true single source database while verifying and value adding to the data. ADAM is a proprietary software system developed by K2 Technology specifically for the purpose of providing the advanced data capture and analysis required for the development of an effective EAM (CMMS) system, and to provide data files in a format suitable for upload to clients Asset Management Systems, thus eliminating potential human error. The most significant advantage of ADAM is the ability to manage project data and reviews via one true single source database while verifying and value adding to the data. The program has been developed using Microsoft. Net technology and is thus fully web enabled giving K2 project, client and supplier/vendor personnel easy access to the system. It uses a 3 tier thick client interface with separate Microsoft SQL and application servers. ADAM has many features including: ASSET DATA ADAM allows the user to build an asset register with a functional hierarchy to suit the client requirements. With the asset register in place the program then allows the user to collate and record the following information against each item in the asset register: Equipment hierarchy Manufacturer and Model Equipment design/nameplate data Verification information RBI/SIL and other Maintenance build data Maintenance procedures Bills of materials (BoM) Spares inventory requirements Craft requirements for Maintenance build Document linking CONFIGURABLE FOR CLIENT DATA The program has been specifically designed to be configurable such that clients existing CMMS/ EAM data tables, rules, reporting requirements/ KPIs etc can be used in the configuration of the ADAM database. INTERFACE WITH CONFIGURABLE TAG ALLOCATION DATABASE The most common issue K2 personnel encounter on projects is the difficulty in controlling the issue of tag numbers during project engineering. K2 has developed a database and process to allow control of tag allocations in line with the client s tagging rules. ADAM is configured to allow ease of import from the tag allocation database. CRITICALITY The program has an inbuilt criticality review tool 16

15 which allows our staff to load the clients Risk/ Safety matrix for utilisation as the basis for equipment criticality allocation. This equipment criticality information can then be used as the basis for prioritising and reporting on maintenance and spares build progress. RELIABILITY CENTRED MAINTENANCE (RCM) ADAM utilises the existing asset register as it is being developed to conduct RCM studies, the results of which are recorded including FMECA data. ADAM can also be used to capture the results of other studies/reviews including RBI, SIL etc. ADAM also enables the development of the work program resulting from the RCM, RBI, FMECA, SIL, Statutory requirements and OEM recommendation, including maintenance procedures, associated spare parts, labour types and durations etc. Figure 1. Main ADAM display screen, detailing all information trees at a first glance. MAINTENANCE PLAN BUILD This tool is based on the SAP Maintenance Plan Once the Maintenance recommendations have requirements, however it is configured so that it been reviewed ADAM then has a Maintenance can be used for other systems as well. Plan Build module which allows the user to develop the actual Maintenance Plans to be The resulting maintenance plan/work program loaded to the clients system. can then be electronically exported to the clients CMMS/EAM. 17

16 SPARE PARTS REVIEW ADAM has the capability of conducting a simplified spare parts review using client provided parameters to configure the review basis. Parts information can be loaded from existing catalogue sources into ADAM to enable Bills of Materials (BoM) to be developed from existing catalogue data. ADAM can then verify that all applicable equipment has an appropriate BoM and can conduct comparisons on like equipment to ensure data integrity. VERIFICATION The verification process encompasses comparisons between client P&ID s, vendor MDRs, installed equipment and specification datasheets. ADAM provides a unique opportunity to integrate project verification services with operational groups through real-time data comparisons, enabling the verification process to be captured/recorded, and thereby eliminates costly rework exercises. MMS DATA VALIDATION/ REPORTING Through a series of reporting tools K2 are able to verify by system and sub system which areas of the facility are complete. A sample system is then usually uploaded to the clients CMMS test environment for testing prior to uploading of information to the live CMMS. Reports can be configured for automatic verification, thereby reducing the risk of data upload failure. This process also serves as a QA/ QC data check saving time and money prior to uploading to the CMMS. Figure 2. Display screen of Bill of Materials information. 18

17 DATA MANIPULATION AND CLEANSING Through a variety of inbuilt tools and reports ADAM allows the user to manage and clean data including: Ability to load data from any spreadsheet without need for standard load sheets Configurable large quantity copying of information across assets without the need to review each asset Multiple views of attached data (eg. Document links) to allow comparison and clean up Configurable data queries in Excel type format which allow bulk review and rectification of data Standard and Configurable reporting SECURITY K2 has developed a secure site for the ADAM software that is separate from the main website and is protected by virtue of the fact it is proprietary software. If you do not have a copy of the front end you cannot access the database. ADAM employs industry standard 3 tier technology utilising a thick client interface with separate SQL and application servers. Each layer is filtered for communications with the two software systems each employing their own individual security measures. In addition access is further controlled by login IDs, passwords and user group access rights. All data passed through the system is encrypted and so cannot easily be captured while being transferred between client and server. Figure 3. Display screen of Copy Location Details. MULTIPLE PROJECT MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY ADAM has the advantage that it provides access for K2 and client project, operations, commissioning and vendor personnel to single source data thereby allowing projects to be managed from multiple locations around the world. An example being projects where topsides and hulls are being built in separate locations, all personnel will be looking at the same Asset Register despite being geographically separated. Personnel can access ADAM from construction/ commissioning locations around the world thus enabling onsite verification and update of the single source data, giving as close to real-time information as possible to all project personnel. REMOTE CLIENT ACCESS Clients can have access from anywhere via the World Wide Web and can monitor specific project progress. 19
