Our approach

DNV can help you realise the potential of your assets, enabling class-leading performance. Our approach focuses on maximising revenue at optimal cost without compromising your SHE commitment. We recognise the increasing importance of corporate governance and stakeholder demands. Typically, we carry out:

• Interviews with your personnel
• Evaluations of current work processes
• Document and data assessment
• Assessment of physical asset condition.

Our findings help you better understand how key issues impact your asset’s revenue, cost and risk management and recognise areas of exceptional or poor performance. Based on this, we identify and prioritise improvement measures on a cost-benefit basis. The results are benchmarked against industry best practice, and can also be compared with a portfolio of assets. Benchmarking will indicate strengths and weaknesses, identify best practices and deploy them across your portfolio to improve assets with lagging performance. Our protocols are consistent with recognised industry standards like PAS 55-Asset Management.
