Featured Project
JD Solomon Solutions is supporting an update to Mount Pleasant Waterworks enterprise condition assessment program. MPW has been doing condition assessments for more than 20 years, but it's time to re-align with a common approach across all asset classes. We piloted two industry-leading methods at their largest wastewater pump station, one of the water plants, and one of the wastewater plants. MPW has landed on a hybrid method suitable to their needs and operating context.

Criticality Is the Place to Start
The Solomon-Oldach Asset Prioritization (SOAP) method is an alternate method for conducting criticality analysis for use on industrial assets and public infrastructure; SOAP can result in staff time savings of up to 70% compared to traditional methods, which are time-consuming and sometimes misleading.
The methodology follows many of the traditional approaches, including cross-functional teams. SOAP's primary differences are related to preference ballots for system-level evaluation and the subsequent use of a function-based scoring system at the asset level.
Contact us for more information about our solutions for assessing criticality. All cost-effective operations improvements start with a criticality analysis.
