Examples of Best Practice Use of Asset Management in Major Capital Projects
Dave Daines, Asset Management Lead at BHP Billiton
Historically, it would appear that a lot of project groups either specifically treat some of this work as Operational Readiness and / or Maintenance Development at the project delivery stage and potentially fail to recognise the benefits at the Project Development stages (Concept / Selection /Definition).
What I am seeking is examples of the asset management approach being truly applied during project development and delivery stages and would like to talk to any organisation that consider they do this well.

Created by members of the AMBoK Team, who are also key members of the Asset Management Council; these valuable publications are only a small part of the reason why Australia is globally acknowledged as being on the forefront of Asset Management understanding and experience.
One of the key strategic objectives of the Asset Management Council, over the past decade, has been the tenacious pursuit of knowledge in order to gain a deeper understanding of Asset Management; to test and expand the knowledge frontier, both nationally and internationally and create value for the community and business. This will continue to be done through national and international relationships, to allow for development of ideas, to gain implementation effectiveness and enrich the body of knowledge to benefit members and stakeholders alike.
A Very Public Thank You to our Professional Volunteers!
The Asset Management Council wishes to publicly thank all of its tireless and extremely generous Professional Volunteers who come from a diverse range of industry and organisations; individuals, from thirteen Chapters operating throughout Australia, who contribute to the creation of intellectual thinking, the formulation of content for numerous publications, technical papers and industry certification. Individuals who have been significantly instrumental in shaping the Asset Management profession on both the local and international arenas; thank you!
