• Alliances have great potential benefits

• The failure rate of alliances is around 60%

• 75% of the companies think alliances are

extremely important

Establish Metrics

• Develop statements on the 10 ToR’s

• Example: Complementarity and

compatibility • We both contribute different resources to the relationship that help us

achieve mutual goals.

• We have complementary strengths that are useful to our relationship.

• We each have separate abilities that, when combined together, enable us to achieve goals beyond our individual reach.

• We are compatible in terms of cultural, structure and government.

Conclusions

• Make the conscious choice for an alliance

• Control the Alliance using the 6 strategic goals on

alliance management

• Make the conscious choice for knowledge retention

• Control knowledge retention using the 4 strategic

goals on knowledge management

• The framework is usable as quick scan

• The framework support alliance managers to get grip

on securing asset logistic knowledge retention over

the life cycle of the asset.

How to control maintenance alliances

to secure asset logistic knowledge retention

over the life cycle of capital assets?

Recommendations for

further research

• Dependency of the nature of the respondents

• Initiate improvement

• Use AMC methods and Techniques

• Financial aspects.

19

Wrap up

20

• Growing importance of alliances

• Governance of alliances seems difficult

• Knowledge retention is not guaranteed

• Ten Terms of Reference developed using literature-

and field research

• The framework is able to support LCM-teams to

control the governance of maintenance alliances.
