SRCN's director, Colin Wilson, recently joined Deepal Ratnayaka, director AG Consulting & Apps, to delve into all aspects of maintenance backlog.
Colin, a highly experienced and widely recognised expert in maintenance and work management, began his career at The Weir Group, mastering the challenges of delivering high engineering standards at low cost in demanding markets like naval, water, and hydro power. This sparked his obsession with reducing waste and eliminating inefficiency—principles that became his professional compass.
Transitioning to oil and gas, Colin witnessed how high margins and rapid growth masked inefficiency, reinforcing his drive to unlock value through optimisation and improvement. With over a decade of experience in maintenance execution and business transformation across top-tier companies, he has consistently delivered enhanced compliance, efficiency, and work management.
Colin authored the OEUK Maintenance Backlog KPIs and their guidance, sharing his insights widely on LinkedIn. Passionate about action over intent, he believes organisational success hinges on what people do, not what they plan to do.
Colin Wilson, director at SRCN said: “In this podcast, we dive into everything backlog-related—what it is, where it comes from, why it matters, how to eliminate it, keep it from coming back, and how Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMSs) play a crucial role in making improvements stick.
"These are questions we get all the time, so I hope listeners find it helpful.”
Backlog as defined by Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) and authored by SRCN for OEUK, is all work open beyond its original key risk date. (The point it was first assessed as needing to be executed by).
