Doubling of share price, putting a man on the moon, turning an old refinery into a world-class facility and improving safety are all outcomes that have been delivered by implementing asset management. But just as a tree needs the right climate and soil to produce wonderful fruit, so too, asset management must have the right environment to flourish; the right leadership, behaviour and culture. This book, Living Asset Management highlights our abundant potential to develop and change leadership, culture and behaviour so that asset management will produce the outcomes we want.
Below are but a few quotes on the publication and the authors:
“The Asset Management Council, a technical society of Engineers Australia, has produced a wonderful book that presents a new and dynamic approach to the topic of leadership and culture. Rather than the traditional approach of focusing on plant and equipment, systems and processes, this book focuses on people and the need for good leadership and strategies for developing a high performance culture which ensures excellence in asset management. I would like to congratulate the Asset Management Council and the authors, John Hardwick and John Lafraia, leaders in asset management in Australia and Brazil, for demonstrating that the principles of developing an effective asset management culture are universal”. – Marlene Kanga, President, Engineers Australia
“John Hardwick and JR Lafraia are two of the most important authors in the field of asset management. The Management System Standard (PAS55 or ISO55000) is vital, of course, but without the context of leadership and organisational culture it is certain that you will not derive maximum benefit from implementing asset management. I believe this book will become a seminal text for the emerging profession and senior managers wanting to ensure their investment is a success”. – David McKeown, CEO, Institute of Asset Management

Conference Workshops & Site Visits
Friday 6 June 2014
To further develop the learning and knowledge sharing opportunities during AMPEAK, specialised workshops and site vists are delivered on the Friday offering participants a range of learning experiences.
Workshops and visits will be for small groups of up to 20 participants, from 8am to 4pm (see seperate times for the day of site visits) held on Friday 6th June. Workshop and confernce registrations open early 2014.
1. Creative Technique to Evolve Condition Based Maintenance Strategies, SAP
Traditionally we have solved problems by overlapping what is viable from a business sense with what is technically feasible. Design Thinking is an approach to solving problems that starts with what is desirable from a people perspective. Design Thinking is generally considered the ability to combine empathy for the context of a problem, creativity in the generation of insights and solutions, and rationality to analyse and fit solutions to the context.
The intent of this workshop is to combine the collective ideas of the workshop participants and apply a Design Thinking approach to Condition Based Maintenance. The outcome will be a comprehensive approach to real time monitoring and analysis of condition based data in order to maximise equipment uptime and operational efficiency.
2. Asset Management Fundamentals, Ernst Krauss, AM Council
This one-day training course helps participants understand the fundamentals of asset management and how those fundamentals can provide benefits to an organisation.
Course Objectives:
- Define asset management within the context of ISO 5500X, Landscape and AMBoK
- Identify the principles that underpin asset management
- Identify available asset management tools and techniques that are applicable within organisational context
- Identify opportunities to apply these learnings to improve individual and organisational performance
To recognise and quantify your learning, there is an online exam initiated on the day of the course.
3. Results Oriented Reliability & Maintenance, Andrew Pringle, Managing Director and Senior Consultant, IDCON Australasia
This one-day workshop is designed to help organisations to accelerate their reliability and maintenance improvement initiatives. The basic principles of maintenance remain the same no matter what industry you are working in. Many organisations know what to do to achieve world-class performance, but only the best actually do it.
The workshop will enable participant to learn;
- ‘What good reliability and maintenance looks like’ and ‘how to get there’
- What exactly should you focus on in order to develop and execute world-class reliability and maintenance management practices
- How to visualise and connect maintenance and reliability with the results of the whole organisation
- How to sell the maintenance initiatives to top management
4. Day of Site Visits
This one-day tour will take in the following industry sites:
- Perth Desalination Plant. Completed in late 2006 the plant produces 45 billion litres of fresh drinking water a year – around 17% of Perth’s water supply.
