Abstract

This paper will overview the key elements of implementing SIF Metrics for Life Cycle Management.   The key elements of implementation SIS Metrics are:

Defining the business case for what to measure

Defining what measures are most important now

Defining what sources and information needs to be collected to execute the measurement

Data Collection – The new frontier

Executing the Measurement

Driving action with the information

Each of these elements are essential to an effective SIS Metric Implementation … whether for one or for many metrics.   These elements can be aggregated into the categories:  1) Business justification, 2) System Implementation and 3) Action Execution.   Implementation of SIS Metrics aligns to the CCPS Vision 20/20CITATION AIChE_CCPS01 \l 1033  (American Institute for Chemical Engineers 2014) initiative by supporting the Industrial Tenant of Disciplined Adherence to Standards and the Societal Themes of Harmonization of Standards and Meticulous Verification.
