4 . Design of maintenance management , programs and instructions Designing and compiling standard programs and instructions for various types of maintenance and repair of industrial valves , including breakdown , preventive , predictive , technical inspection and overhaul , are important issues in this section , which should be acted upon after commissioning .
5 . Design of operational and maintenance reliability management Designing patterns and methods of operational reliability and maintenance are performed during EPC and will be responsible for improving the operation and maintenance of valves after commissioning of the facility . In other words , reliability management during operation and maintenance is a continuation of the reliability designed during EPC .
6 . Attracting human resources , training Manpower must be recruited , trained and empowered during the EPC . Manpower must be fully acquainted with the processes of operation management , technical inspection and maintenance of industrial valves . Skilled and trained personnel will easily work with instructions and solve problems after commissioning .
This issue , if not taken into account at the time of EPC , will be accompanied by trial and error at launch time and will increase risks and costs .
7 . Production management and facilities management systems Creating a management system for the production and management of facilities , which is generally software and hardware , is done during EPC . This system helps the facility to store and circulate its data and information in both operational and headquarters sections . Usually , these systems first store the identification and documentation of equipment and devices , including manuals , drawings and practical instructions . Later , the system should timely record issues associated with production , maintenance , repairs , logistics , warehouse , etc .. This data should be available to users and kept updated . This system should also be implemented for industrial valves .
8 . Procurement , support and supply chain management Procurement and supply chain of valves is very important for an EPC project . Timely supply of items for installation and spare parts for the start-up stages is a routine issue of any project . But what is more important is to design a continuous support system for spare parts and consumables for the future , especially the period of operation and maintenance . These items are usually needed to ensure the correct functioning of the valves . If the standard of spare and consumables is well defined in the EPC period , we will have fewer problems through the operation and maintenance of the valves .

Mr Sardroudi is planning seven articles about asset management of valves , as follows : 1 . Introduction and overview 2 . Requirements of an asset management system for valves 3 . Asset management plan for the manufacture of valves 4 . Asset management plan for engineering , design and installation 5 . Asset management plan for valves during operation 6 . Asset management plan for decommissioning valves 7 . Valve asset management assessment and auditing
