Waste Tyres into Fuel:

The case study converts waste tyre (a major source of environmental pollution, with
more than 1.5 billion tyres produced yearly) into fuel oil via pyrolysis.

Strategic Asset Management Plan:

Major principles of strategic asset management for this case study are:

 The plant exists only for one main reason that is produce as much product as
possible, according to the specifications, schedule of delivery and sustainable lowest
price.

 For improvement, fundamental changes required in discipline and culture, realigned

the personal prejudices and relationship between management team.

 Implementation of Same team and same goal principle.

Potential Capacity of Plant:

The plant convert waste tyres into fuel via pyrolysis. Working principle of plant is
“Thermal degradation of the organic components of the tyres at temperature above 500ºC to
produce fuel oil, gas, char products and steel”.

Sr. No Commodity Capacity

1 Recycling capacity of tyres per 30 tons
day
2 Producing fuel oil 50 %
3 Producing carbon black 25%
4 Producing wire steel 25%

Maintenance Structure:

As the plant has been in operations for close to two decades and its historical failures
associated with the critical stages as well as their associated components are captured and
stored within an in-house computerized maintenance management system (CMMS).
Summary is attached in case study document.

When the health of the equipment is good, there is less requirement of labor and spare
parts. But in this case, plant health is not in very good condition than more labor and spare
parts required because of continuous repair operation.
 If we reduce the failures, we can increase the production and maintenance cost is
reduced. This will lead us in multi directions i.e. benefits as well as cost.

Operating Specifications:

Operating specifications are identified to achieve the targets of annual improvements.

Rather than doing better, uptime requirements are identified at equipment level in order to
achieve operation goals. As operation of equipment is in series, the plant uptime goals must
be higher than unit goals.

Outlines of efforts in asset management strategic plan are as follow:

 The Summary

 The current assessment

 Future operations vision

 Initiatives

 The business case

 Plans and resources

 Structure, accountability and measures

Capacity Management:

Addresses the methods requires to acquire or dispose the capacity and manage the
capital investment.

Organization Management:

It includes establishing the asset management process management organization and

defining the roles of personnel involved in working with the reliability and maintenance
business processes.
