The Melbourne chapter recently hosted a group of fifty people interested in sharing experiences with the implementation of the Victorian State government’s Asset Management Accountability Framework. With guest speakers from the emergency services sector and additional commentary from attendees, the session was constructive and highly informative.
The second part of the evening was devoted to an introduction to the CAMA examination and a call to arms for Melbourne chapter members to participate in the re-development of the exam questions. Sally Nugent, from World Partners in Asset Management (WPiAM) explained the structure and approach for development of the existing question set and set the scene for a workshop on 12th October for Melbourne chapter members to contribute new questions for the CAMA question bank.

Discover how Queensland University of Technology (QUT) successfully developed a risk-based predictive model to aid decision makers in Transmission Network Assets (TNA) with their often sensitive and highly complex replacement and refurbishment assessments and evaluations.
Decision making surrounding the replacement and/or refurbishment of electricity network assets requires significant investment from service providers. Numerous factors and high-quality predictions regarding future risks must be assessed, including structure characteristics, voltage, load, and the operating environment. QUT’s LinEAR platform (Linear Engineering Asset Renewal tools) enables ‘what-if’ analysis for different maintenance scenarios and has the potential to benefit evidence-based budgeting, cost/benefit optimisation and quantitative justification for decisions by predicting unplanned maintenance actions.

For RMIT, a robust life cycle program is crucial to ensuring that facilities operate at peak functionality, providing reliability for students and staff. A well designed life cycle program has the potential to extend the life of assets and reduce replacement periods and cost.

The development of the Australian campus life cycle model and the initiation of a more comprehensive asset management approach to maintenance within property services will improve asset data at RMIT to support a comprehensive maintenance planning framework that has previously been lacking.
