Hands-on Workshops

Sharpen your Asset Management skills and knowledge by particpating in any of our specialised workshops conducted as part of the ICOMS Asset Management Conference, running on Friday June 8th, from 9.00am to 4.30pm.

Workshop 1: Developing an Asset Renewal Strategy Dr. Diederik Lugtigheid, Haultrax

Do you have an asset renewal strategy? How effective is it? Without an asset renewal strategy, assets deteriorate and managers face the consequences of ageing plants, such as reduced quality/output, efficiency and cost effectiveness.

Workshop 2: Leading Process Innovation in Asset Managemen Steve Doran, Infrastream Pty Ltd

Asset management and maintenance leaders are driven by increasingly heightened pressure to improve the organisation’s bottom line. In this environment, continuing with the status quo poses great risks, especially in contrast to the potential benefits to be gained through the pursuit of innovation. Highlighting people, process and technology success keys, this practical and interactive workshop will equip attendees to lead and influence process innovation in asset management within their organisation by:
•  Exploring the common pitfalls and hurdles in this field and how to overcome them
•  Working through a staged approach to developing and implementing such changes
•  Describing five common step change opportunities, by example and from across the asset life cycle, with proven outcomes
•  Outlining eight support framework elements to boost asset performance improvement activity from frontline staff or contractors

Workshop 4:  Asset Management Plans Ernst Krauss, Woodside

The Asset Management Council’s definition of asset management is – “The life cycle management of physical assets to achieve the stated outputs of the enterprise.” As a result, an Asset Management Plan (AMP) should directly support the requirements of the Business Plan. The content of the AMP should both articulate the required asset outputs and support the achievement of those outputs.

Workshop 6:  IT Solutions Hemant Rathod, SAP

Mobile Work Order Management - The new generation of IT solutions provides ways to ensure that information travels to the user rather than user travel to access the information.

Introduction to High Performance Analytical tools - This session will give a quick view on some of the new applications developed on HANA based analytical platform and provide an opportunity to all participants to judge and identify areas where they can use such technology and bring in value for their day–to-day analytical needs.

Workshop 7: How to Predict Reliability and Availability for New Projects Michael Drew, ARMS Reliability
