The Global Forum on Maintenance and Asset Management (GFMAM) recently came together on the Gold Coast Australia to progress the global projects being developed by the GFMAM and to discuss the international standard for Asset Management.
John Hardwick, who was recently appointed Chairman of the GFMAM said “The asset management discipline has rapidly grown over the past ten years and a number of approaches and models have been developed across the world. The GFMAM projects will support the common approach that the international Standard will provide and will equip organisations to begin the move towards this new approach.”

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: Technology Innovation Hemant Rathod, SAP
Technology to Enhance Field-Force Productivity – The new generation of IT solutions provides ways to ensure that information travels to the user rather than user travel to access the information.
High Performing Asset Analytics – 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
If you are concerned with maximizing uptime, minimizing unplanned downtime, minimizing maintenance costs and truly understanding the impact your proposed maintenance strategy will have on the design of your next capital project, then this educational series will provide you with the tools you need to make an informed decision about your organizations projects.
