The two cities have been a resounding success in establishing an industrial support base and infrastructure to encourage investment in primary and secondary industries, provide job opportunities for Saudi nationals, and diversify the Kingdom’s income to reduce its dependence on oil.” “With initiatives such as the establishment of MARAFIQ, the Kingdom has been able to sustain its growth and development program, keep pace with global economic changes and requirements, and supply existing and future industries with essential services at competitive prices. The founding of MARAFIQ has been a wise and visionary decision at the right time, and fitting testimony to the farsightedness of King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud,” the chairman continued, “On the shoulders of MARAFIQ, rests the challenge to establish and build further on a strong foundation of competitiveness, and to spearhead the national drive to privatize public enterprises that are economically viable and sustainable. With its sound commercial foundation, state-of-theart technology and extensive infrastructure, MARAFIQ is well positioned to provide efficient, economical and reliable utility services as a self-sufficient enterprise.” Under the leadership of President Abdullah Al-Marei and his management team, MARAFIQ initiated a project In July of 2004 to develop a strategic plan for Asset Management. Strategic Asset Management Inc. (SAMI) was selected to support the development of the strategic plan based on proven strategic planning methodology, a logical model of maintenance and reliability progression (the SAMI Asset Healthcare Triangle, Figure 3), and a track record of successful implementations. MARAFIQ appointed a Strategic Planning Team and a Senior Management Steering Committee to conduct the Strategic Planning. Asset Management Business Processes cut across all enterprise functions: operations, engineering, management, production, purchasing, and maintenance. This implies that each of these organizations has an opportunity to contribute to enhanced equipment reliability and to benefit from the results. The members of these organizations will have roles to play in the core business processes that are integrated into the Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan documents the current status, provides a future operations vision and identifies a set of detailed strategies and projects for achieving the future vision. It also establishes effective leading and lagging performance indicators and goals that clearly reflect the adoption of new behaviors october/november 2008 12 http://www.timken.com/conditionmonitoring http://www.timken.com
