APA™
Asset Performance
Assessment
Understand before you intervene.
Decide before you invest.
An objective, data-driven diagnostic that reveals what’s really holding your plant back — using your existing systems.
WhAT IS APA™
Many operations face performance problems that are felt but not always clearly understood. Different teams have different views of what's wrong. There's a risk of investing time and capital before the real issue has been identified.
The APA™ is an objective assessment of your operational and control system performance, using your existing infrastructure. It doesn't assume a solution; it starts from the facts. And if the conclusion is that there's no significant opportunity, we'll tell you that too.
Deciding not to proceed is always a valid outcome.
Data-driven
Based on real operation data.
No assumptions
Evidence over opinions.
No new systems
We work with what you already have.
Existing infrastructure
Your data. Your systems.
WHEN TO USE APA™?
Performance is unstable or conservative
and you're not sure why
Different internal teams have
different views of the problem
There's a risk of investing without
clarity on the root cause
You need to align technical and operational
criteria before committing resources
OUR PRINCIPLES
Vendor and platform agnostic; works across Rockwell, Yokogawa, ABB, Honeywell, Siemens, GE, AVEVA/Citect, and others
No new software required; we use your existing historian, SCADA, and control data
No operational changes during the assessment period
Based on real data, not assumptions or vendor benchmarks
Deciding not to proceed is always communicated as a valid outcome
WHAT WE DELIVER
A clear, shared diagnostic of your current performance state
Identification and prioritisation of pain points impacting performance
Indicative impact estimates (expressed as ranges, not guarantees)
Dashboards and data analysis as diagnostic tools
Practical, realistic recommendations; including 'do nothing' if warranted
WHAT APA™ IS NOT
Not a normative audit or compliance check
Not an implementation project
Not a technology purchase recommendation
Not a commitment to a subsequent phase; the decision always stays with you
TYPICAL PAIN POINTS WE ANALYSE

Loss of operational experience through staff turnover

Reactive rather than proactive approach to performance management

Not all of these will be present in every operation. The APA™ identifies which ones are relevant to yours.
PLANT HEALTH SCORECARD
How healthy is your plant?
Take our free Plant Health Scorecard. Answer structured questions across key performance dimensions (control system health, variability, alarm management, operational stability) and get an instant visual assessment of where you stand.
No commitment. No sales pitch. Just an honest view of your operation's current state; scored, visualised, and ready to discuss if you'd like to take it further.
Get Started
Is there a fit?
If you suspect your operation is leaving value on the table but you're not sure where, the APA™ is designed to answer
that question. No pressure, no commitment; just clarity.
