According to the company’s public relations office, the inaugural Physical Asset Management audit of the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries Group was conducted on Dec. 16–17, hosted by the company and attended by PGPIC assessors and senior executives. The audit was carried out based on the SAMI model and focused on four core pillars: physical asset maintenance, production, supply chain, and investment management.
At the opening session, Adel Delfi, Acting Head of Physical Asset Management at the complex, presented a report outlining the measures taken and achievements realized by Shahid Tondguyan Petrochemical Company in the field of physical asset management.
Subsequently, Alireza Adeli, the lead auditor of the assessment, explained the audit process, implementation requirements, and the key dimensions of the SAMI model.
During the evaluation, the performance of a wide range of organizational units was reviewed, including maintenance and repairs, commercial affairs, procurement, localization and domestic manufacturing, operations, technical services—covering process engineering, technical inspection, condition monitoring, and general engineering—projects and development, training, human resources, information technology, finance, research and development, management planning, and HSE.
The audit is regarded as an effective step toward enhancing the maturity level of physical asset management, aligning organizational processes with the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Holding’s modern management approaches, and advancing in a structured manner toward continuous improvement and sustainable value creation at Shahid Tondguyan Petrochemical Company.
The SAMI model is a systematic framework designed to assess and improve physical asset management maturity by aligning asset-related decisions with an organization’s overarching strategies. With a simultaneous focus on performance, risk, and cost throughout the asset life cycle, the model supports informed decision-making at both strategic and operational levels.
