My Approach: The SAMI Asset Healthcare Model
Reliable assets don’t happen by accident — they are the result of building the right capabilities, in the right order, on a solid foundation. That is the core idea behind the SAMI Asset Healthcare Model, the industry-proven framework that guides how I approach every engagement.
The SAMI model organizes asset management maturity into five progressive stages.
Stage 1 — Planned Maintenance
The non-negotiable foundation of work identification and prioritization, planning and scheduling, work execution, CMMS, and contractor management. Without this layer working well, nothing above it holds
Stage 2 — Proactive Maintenance
Proactive Maintenance builds on that foundation by adding condition-based maintenance, turnaround management, asset integrity, failure analysis, and equipment history.
Stages 3 through 5 progressively
Stages 3 through 5 progressively introduce Organizational Excellence, Engineered Reliability (RCM, life cycle analysis, RAM studies), and ultimately a Performance Culture — where reliability is embedded in how the entire organization thinks and operates, not just what the maintenance department does. What makes the SAMI model powerful is what it prevents: the common and costly mistake of investing in sophisticated reliability tools — vibration analysis programs, RCM studies, advanced analytics — before the foundational work management and planning processes are stable enough to act on the findings. I have seen organizations spend significant resources on Stage 4 initiatives while their Stage 1 foundations were still broken. The results are predictable: good data, poor execution, and frustrated teams.
Services Built Around the SAMI Framework
Asset Criticality Analysis
Before you can optimize maintenance spend, you need to know which assets actually matter. I facilitate structured criticality assessments using a multi-dimensional weighted scoring framework — evaluating safety, environmental, operational, and financial consequences of failure — to classify your assets as High, Medium, or Low criticality. The output becomes a permanent, living component of your asset master data, directly driving every maintenance decision downstream.
This work establishes the foundation of Stage 1 of the SAMI Asset Healthcare Model — you cannot build a planned maintenance program without first knowing which assets deserve what level of attention.
What you get
A defensible, CMMS-ready criticality ranking for your asset register, with documented criteria and scoring rationale your team can audit and update as operations evolve.
Maintenance Strategy Development
I develop risk-based maintenance plans that match the right tactic (preventive, predictive, condition-based, or run-to-failure) to each asset based on its criticality, equipment category, OEM guidance, regulatory requirements, and your organization's actual failure history.
Within the SAMI model, this spans Stage 1 (Planned Maintenance) through Stage 2 (Proactive Maintenance), incorporating asset strategies and failure analysis to move your program beyond time-based tasks toward reliability-driven decisions.
What you get
A structured, documented maintenance strategy per asset class — ready to be loaded into your CMMS as PM task lists with defined frequencies, trades, outage requirements, and spare parts needs.
Maintenance Plan Development & PM Optimization
Many organizations have PM programs that grew organically — or were copied from a previous site. I audit existing PM programs and build new ones from first principles, incorporating OEM documentation, historical CMMS data, condition monitoring findings, and SME input. The result is a maintenance plan that balances the risk of over-maintenance against the risk of in-service failures.
What you get
Detailed job plans with task steps, estimated durations, required materials, tools, safety considerations, and scheduling constraints — ready for planner use in SAP, Maximo, or equivalent CMMS platforms.
Maintenance Work Management & Planning Systems
A great maintenance strategy fails without the work management system to execute it. I design and implement the procedures, workflows, and CMMS structures that take work from identification through prioritization, planning, scheduling, and execution — including work order tagging, outage classification, backlog management, and schedule adherence tracking. Work management is the bedrock of the SAMI Asset Healthcare Model — it occupies the entire base of Stage 1, encompassing work identification and prioritization, planning and scheduling, work execution and review, and contractor management. Without this foundation firmly in place, every layer above it is unstable.
What you get
A complete work management procedure, scheduling meeting cadence (weekly T-1/T-2 framework), capacity loading process, and CMMS configuration guidance aligned to your operational context.
Turnaround & Overhaul Management Process Design
Turnarounds are the highest-stakes, highest-cost events in any asset-intensive operation. Done right, they restore asset integrity and extend equipment life. Done poorly, they overrun on time and budget and erode the reliability gains your daily maintenance program has worked to build. I design end-to-end turnaround management processes — the procedures, tools, RACI structures, and execution frameworks your team needs to plan and deliver major overhaul events with discipline. Within the SAMI Asset Healthcare Model, turnaround management is a defined Stage 2 (Proactive Maintenance) capability. Organizations that master it unlock the foundation needed to progress toward engineered reliability, RCM, and life cycle analysis at Stages 3 and 4. The process covers nine structured phases: Strategic Planning → Policy & Initiation → Organization → Scope Management → Planning → Scheduling → Preparation → Execution → Termination — with cost, HSE, risk, quality, and contractor management integrated throughout.
What you get
A site-specific turnaround management procedure, RACI matrix, meeting roster, KPI framework, scope control process, critical path scheduling approach, and post-mortem template — everything your team needs to move from improvised shutdowns to professionally managed maintenance events.
Reliability Training & Knowledge Transfer
Sustainable reliability requires a team that understands the why behind the work, not just the what. Drawing on my experience as a university lecturer and practitioner, I deliver practical training on core reliability concepts — criticality analysis, maintenance strategy selection, the P-F interval, condition monitoring basics, and work management fundamentals — tailored to your team's background and role.
What you get
Workshops or short-course sessions your maintenance planners, engineers, and supervisors can apply immediately on the floor.
