WG3 Disribution - 1 Dec 2008

7. Project 5, Material Management [1/4]
Project Objectives
Exchange information and experiences on the various processes & practices employed by HAPUA member countries in addressing challenges in materials management
Recommend a common policy, strategy or information exchange facility to encourage cooperation among member countries.
Project Outcomes
7 countries (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Myanmar) participate in the discussion, 6 countries presented papers.
Project leader: Mr. Roberto D. Serica, from Philippines/Meralco
The participants able to benchmark or compare their existing practices with those of other utilities, and share insights on how materials management are being practiced by other member countries.
The discussions yielded helpful suggestions on how to address the common materials management challenges faced by the different participants.
WG3 Disribution - 1 Dec 2008

8. Project 5, Material Management [2/4]
Issues
Scope of Material management are: purchasing, spend management, vendor management, stock management, material process management, store management, enhance specification.
The different item-identification methods used by the different members of HAPUA and recommends a common item identification system between members to improve comparison of items. Suggestions were made in the discussion for a possible use of existing international product naming convention.
The difficulty of obtaining verifiable information on supplier and product performance and proposes the sharing of these information on supplier and product performance under the auspices of HAPUA.
The trend is that activities under Material Management are put under Procurement function which is defined as the combined functions of purchasing, inventory control, transportation, receiving, inspection, storekeeping, and salvage and disposal operations.
WG3 Disribution - 1 Dec 2008

9. Project 5, Material Management [3/4]
Lessons Learned
Material management has evolved from administrative/support activity to a strategic activity and has an important effect on the utility’s bottom line.
Among the different members there is also a different level of maturity on practices and information systems of Material Management, but all members has shown a common interest to improve.
The different member utilities employ different strategies such as different purchase strategies for different items. They also employ spend analysis in strategic sourcing. Standardization, quality assurance and use of Vendor Managed Inventory are also practiced by the members.
Process-wise, member countries employ various generic processes for materials management and practices may vary depending on local laws or conditions and many emphasize constant improvement in their processes.
WG3 Disribution - 1 Dec 2008

10. Project 5, Material Management [4/4]
Recommendation
Implement sharing of information among member countries in terms of having a common item-identification system and supplier & product performance information.
Implement a program of staff exchange under HAPUA to facilitate the transfer of best practices among the different members as a way of addressing the different maturity level in the area of materials management.
Expand the scope of WG5’s Project 4 Procurement Circle, :
To include other areas of the supply chain such as planning, warehousing, inventory management and quality assurance.
To consider WG3’s Project 5 Material Management regarding distribution engineer’s technical and operations concerns.
WG3 Disribution - 1 Dec 2008

11. Project 7, Asset Management [1/8]
Project Objectives
To exchange information and experiences among ASEAN member countries in their policy of Asset Classification in relation to ‘Targeted Service Level Standard’ (Reliability & Security) which is selected on the basis of cost-effectiveness and potential business value of solutions (i.e.: the criticality of supply area, customer category).
To benchmark between countries on the asset reliability standard (failure rate).
Project Outcome
7 countries (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Myanmar) participate in the discussion, however Cambodia & Myanmar did not present papers. Project leader: Mr. Haji Ismail Bin Mohd Din of Malaysia.
The importance of classifying the asset based on the reliability standard of major network components, such as: power transformer, MV switchgear, MV underground cable and MV overhead lines.
Deliverable of the discussion are as follows:-
Asset Classification Methodology
Asset Classification Reliability Standards
WG3 Disribution - 1 Dec 2008

12. Summary of Asset Classification

17. Project 7, Asset Management [6/8]
Asset Classification for Class 4 Reliability Standard:
WG3 Disribution - 1 Dec 2008

18. Project 7, Asset Management [7/8]
Issues
Asset classes and reliability standard vary between utilities.
Different type of asset used by utilities.
Different means of measuring or indices used for determining failure rate of asset.
To ensure high reliability standard will require higher investment.
Lesson Learnt
Assets need to be classified into several classes based on their importance.
Reliability standard for each class varies for different countries, however this classification exercise will provide a mean to make further improvement in their respective countries.
Some countries have even achieved a reliability standard that is comparable to European standard.
WG3 Disribution - 1 Dec 2008

19. Project 7, Asset Management [8/8]
Recommendation
Each country should identify the security level of the designated area based on the reliability standard required.
It is envisaged that the use of GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear), premoulded straight through joint, (N-1) transformer configuration and automation must be adopted for ensuring a better reliability standard.
The extensive use of Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) is a critical tool to further improve the performance of the assets.
Since the effort in ensuring of a higher reliability standard requires a substantial investment, it is also recommended that customers enjoying these privileges would be subjected to a higher tariff structure (negotiated B-to-B tarrif, not standard tarrif) .
To further enhance collaboration among country members with respect to implementation of asset classification, the needs to have a technical exchange program between utilities is greatly encouraged.
