    The Blueprint: Turning Asset Strategy into Real-World Action
    2025/07/22

    Your GM wants more production, less maintenance spend, and better reliability — all at once. Sound familiar?

    In this episode of Maintenance Break, Pete and Sarah walk through the six-part blueprint that helps you turn big asset goals into real-world results. From writing a Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) to building a usable framework, setting focus areas, and applying life cycle thinking — it’s everything you need to bridge the boardroom and the breakdown bay.

    We cover:

    • What a good SAMP actually does (and why it’s not just paperwork)

    • How to build a framework that actually works

    • Focus areas: your key practice zones

    • Policies that give your AM system teeth

    • Life cycle thinking for better long-term decisions

    • Why continuous review keeps your strategy alive

    This episode is for anyone who’s tired of watching great plans fall apart at execution. Whether you’re fixing pumps, managing budgets, or trying to align your team — this one’s for you.


    💡 Takeaway Tip:
    Pick one broken process this week. Map it. Find the friction. And ask: if this worked perfectly, how would it support our goals?
