Physical Asset Verification When embarking on verification of equipment it is worthwhile performing the desktop verification of the engineering documentation first. This will determine the scale of the issue which provides the cost benefit of the work, and will allow for the estimation of the effort required for physical verification. The desktop analysis should be performed in such away as to provide work packs for the physical verification to be performed. Once in the field engineers will be required to walk the line using the work packs, provide concise templates aligned to the minimum data standard (as this can feed into the BOM’s and EX work. Where the asset is small or budget is not available it is possible to include verification of tags from the Desktop in the maintenance activities fora period of time, however we have not seen this successfully implemented by clients, as this still requires project management and analysis data management.
