One Day Seminar, 4 November 2011, Sydney
Stop Press: Matthew Roberts, NSW Treasury Deputy Secretary – Economic, Environment and Communities, will be joining the symposium program.
Matthew’s presentation will include:
- The fiscal context and the need for enhanced management and accountability
- Infrastructure NSW – role and responsibilities
- Ensuring the financial framework facilitates asset acquisition and management.
Organisations, particularly those in asset intensive industries, are facing a challenge in regard to whether they invest in asset management. This symposium will provide different perspectives and discussion on whether it is optional, useful or essential for organisations of the future. In particular, this symposium will explore how the new international standard on asset management will impact the landscape and how that standard interacts with another new standard on dependability. This symposium is intended to provoke debate and thought on how organisations can better utilise asset management.
The speakers are leaders in their field of expertise and will articulate their own perspectives on asset management. The symposium will also include feedback on the progress and implications of the new ISO standard together with discussion from specialists driving the new standard on dependability.
Places are limited so please reserve your seat quickly! Download registration brochure here

Getting the most from an Integrated Asset Management System
Duncan Mills, recently of SAP Australia and now a director of Engineering Informatics, will talk about the latest enterprise asset management (EAM) functionality from SAP.
SAP has come a long way since the mid-1990’s when many companies in Australia started implementing enterprise-wide business management systems. Since then many of these companies have seen the value of integrating assets, documents, resources, parts, procurement and financials to get a more detailed and accurate view of their asset performance. In this talk we’ll discuss how SAP is being made more usable for maintenance practitioners, what’s included in the latest SAP EAM functionality and how insightful reporting can be generated from the SAP system.
