SUMMARY:Melbourne - From Worthless Data to Intelligent Assets: Edge Federated Machine Learning in Real Work Asset Management
DESCRIPTION:Asset-intensive organisations have invested heavily in enterprise asset management systems and condition monitoring infrastructure\, yet most operational data remains underutilised. This presentation challenges the conventional centralised analytics approach and introduces edge federated machine learning as a transformative architecture for physical asset management. \nDrawing on real-world implementations across Australian transport\, ports and heavy industry\, this session demonstrates how edge computing\, combined with federated learning\, addresses four critical barriers to intelligent maintenance: \n\nIsolated asset knowledge that prevents fleet-wide learning\nData silos across facilities that block insight sharing\nCloud analytics latency that misses split-second failure indicators\nPrivacy concerns that lock away valuable operational data\n\nTopics: Data governance\, quality and utilisation \nClick here to register \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Shane Scriven is the Founder and Managing Director of SAS Asset Management\, an Australian consultancy specialising in advanced analytics and AI for asset-intensive industries. He holds the Certified Senior Practitioner in Asset Management (CSAM) and Certified Asset Management Assessor (CAMA) credentials\, alongside multiple certifications in lubrication and vibration analysis. With over a decade of experience spanning transport\, defence\, mining\, healthcare and manufacturing\, Shane has built a reputation for bridging traditional asset management with emerging technologies. His current work centres on edge computing\, federated machine learning and real-time diagnostic systems for clients across rolling stock\, port operations and heavy industry — turning maintenance data into actionable\, predictive insights.

SUMMARY:Melbourne - Investment-Grade Data: A Strategic approach to managing your most critical asset
DESCRIPTION:In today’s asset-intensive industries\, data isn’t just a byproduct of operations – it is a strategic asset in itself. How do we determine what data is important and how do we manage to support the decisions we are making? \nJoin Michael Mowat as he presents an approach for treating data as an asset to drive defensible investment planning. This moves beyond simple data clean-up\, establishing a direct link between the quality and confidence of your data and your ability to model future performance\, cost\, and risk. \nDrawing from his experience leading data strategy across multi-billion-dollar infrastructure portfolios\, Michael will discuss a practical approach to: \n\nEstablish data requirements : Document what data may be required to support the decision you are trying to make\nBuild data governance: Define the quality rules\, standards\, and custodianship necessary to protect and enhance your data’s value.\nBuild your scenarios: Use high-confidence data to clearly forecast costs and performance.\nJustify major investment with confidence: Build transparent\, evidence-based business cases that stakeholders can trust.\n\nThis session is for leaders who want to transform their organisation’s data from a poorly understood and managed resource into an active\, high-value asset that underpins strategic decisions. \n\n\nClick here to register\n  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Michael is a senior leader with 20+ years’ experience managing major asset portfolios and large teams in rail and Defence.

SUMMARY:Melbourne - Achieving TOTEX Success: Integrating People\, Processes and Systems in Asset Management Planning (A Strategic Approach to Public Private Partnerships)
DESCRIPTION:Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) carry inherent financial risks\, particularly when fixed-price contracts fail to reflect total lifecycle costs. To manage this\, PFM adopted a Total Expenditure (TOTEX) Strategic Asset Management (SAM) approach that integrates people\, processes\, and systems to align CAPEX and OPEX decisions for long-term value. \nThe two key barriers—poor data quality and limited practitioner capability—were addressed through the development of two foundational enablers: the Asset Management System (AMS) and the Asset Management Community of Practice (AMCoP). The AMS standardised tools and processes\, while the AMCoP fostered collaboration\, upskilling\, and knowledge sharing. These enabled the creation of high-value resources such as a Lifecycle Cost and Maintenance database. \nIn practice\, these frameworks supported accurate data capture and scenario modelling within PPP contracts\, driving evidence-based decisions. The outcome was optimised lifecycle planning and risk management\, demonstrating how a structured\, data-driven approach can mitigate PPP risks and achieve TOTEX-aligned outcomes. \nClick here to register\n  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Mincheol Lee is a seasoned asset management professional with extensive experience across strategic\, tactical\, and operational levels of asset-intensive environments. Known for his outcomes-focused approach\, Mincheol specialises in developing and executing comprehensive asset management strategies that align organisational objectives with effective risk management\, cost control\, and lifecycle performance optimisation. With hands-on experience in delivering ISO 55001-aligned systems and governance frameworks\, Mincheol brings deep capability in full lifecycle asset management\, including asset data modelling\, lifecycle cost analysis\, CMMS configuration\, and the integration of digital engineering solutions. He has successfully led the design and implementation of asset information management systems\, technical maintenance plans\, and configuration control frameworks to enable reliable\, data-driven decision-making. A strong collaborator\, Mincheol works across disciplines to uplift asset management maturity and build Communities of Practice that foster knowledge sharing\, capability development\, and operational excellence. His work continues to support optimised total cost of ownership outcomes across complex infrastructure portfolios.

SUMMARY:Melbourne - Opportunity as Risk Framework - a V/Line Presentation
DESCRIPTION:The concept of risk—including both opportunities and threats—sounds simple enough\, but many have attempted to tackle it with limited success. Is opportunity the opposite of risk\, or is it something else entirely? How can we quantify and manage opportunities in the same way we quantify and manage risks? \nAt V/Line\, Fiona Beckley\, Asset Information Specialist\, has been exploring these questions (and more) while developing an Opportunity Framework. This presentation shares that journey\, the quandaries this concept presents\, and the current state of the solution being developed. \nClick here to register \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Fiona Beckley has been working in Asset Mangement for over 20 years\, in rail\, water and manufacturing. Currently the Asset Information Specialist at V/Line\, Fiona supports the Information and Data component of the Asset Management system\, which includes the development of a controlled business mapping and diagramming (i.e. “Visualising V/Line) system\, developing and rolling out the Asset Information Strategy\, and designing an Opportunities On A Page solution.

SUMMARY:Melbourne - Local Government Asset Planning - Getting the Most From Community Consultation
DESCRIPTION:The Australian Local Government Act 2020 requires local government authorities to undertake a number of asset management responsibilities as part of their asset planning cycles. \nOne of these responsibilities is deliberative community engagement\, which is designed to ensure the wants and needs of the local community are adequately reflected in local government financial\, asset\, and strategic plans. \nDeliberative engagement presents both a challenge and a value proposition to local government authorities — from the perspectives of efficiency and effectiveness\, as well as the opportunity to capture valuable insights and context. \nCindy Plowman from Conversation Co actively supports local government authorities in navigating and maximising value through the deliberative engagement process. Cindy has a wealth of experience working with community groups and will share her knowledge and insights on how to leverage community input to produce meaningful impact for all parties. \n  \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:Melbourne - Navigating Financial Constraints: The Evolution of AMAF in the Victorian Government
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an insightful session with guest speaker Nicholas Phillips\, as we explore the evolving landscape of the Asset Management Accountability Framework (AMAF) within the Victorian Government. Nearly a decade since its inception\, AMAF remains a key policy guiding asset management practices across government agencies. However\, in the face of tight financial constraints\, agencies are being forced to rethink their approach – balancing compliance\, service outcomes\, and operational efficiency with reduced funding. \n\n\nThis session will delve into how government agencies are adapting to funding challenges while maintaining their commitment to AMAF. We’ll compare the framework’s early vision with today’s reality and engage in a discussion on the current perceptions of government support. The interactive format of this in-person event will encourage audience participation\, including a live poll to capture industry sentiment. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into how AMAF continues to shape asset management in Victoria amid shifting financial landscapes. \n\nClick here to register\n  \nAbout the speaker: \nNicholas Phillips is the Executive Director and Principal Consultant of MACE Consulting (Aust) Pty Ltd specialising in Asset Management\, Lifecycle Cost and Performance Analysis\, and Reliability and Maintainability Analysis. His career has centred on the application of asset management principles and processes that deliver service focussed outcomes for asset intensive operations in private and public sectors. \nNicholas has held increasingly senior positions over his professional career\, carrying out pioneering work in the introduction of asset management systems and processes.\nNicholas has assisted organisations to align stakeholder demands to service delivery outcomes by understanding the inter-dependencies between business functions across the asset portfolio entire lifecycle. \nIn recent years\, Nicholas has: \n\ndeveloped\, implemented\, and monitored improvement in the management system for asset management in public sector agencies.\ndelivered reliability\, availability and maintainability analysis and reports for infrastructure projects.\ndelivered asset management fundamentals training for the Asset Management Council.\nmaintained the operation of MACE Consulting.\n\nNicholas’s career is highlighted by a continuous connection to service delivery assets\, where he has managed rollingstock maintenance\, rail infrastructure asset strategy and engineering\, implemented the Victorian public sector Asset Management Accountability Framework and evaluated/monitored compliance (and maturity).

SUMMARY:Melbourne - Court Services Victoria Critical Asset Failure
DESCRIPTION:Court Services Victoria (CSV) has experienced several critical infrastructure failures in recent years due to inadequate asset maintenance funds. Many assets supporting essential safety measures\, such as HVAC\, fire services\, switchboards\, and emergency lighting\, have reached the end of their life and will require replacement or renewal to keep court facilities safe and operational. When an asset reaches the end of its useful life or does not meet current needs and requirements\, we can either replace the asset immediately or keep operating it until it fails. \nIt is important to understand the condition and criticality of the assets to be able to “sweat” them (doing more with less) until they fail. Timely intervention through proactive asset management strategies will assist in prolonging the useful life of assets and will\, in turn\, allow for the orderly replacement of critical assets at the end of their life cycle. \nWhen an asset does eventually fail\, it is sometimes very difficult to predict the consequences. Within the court environment\, consequences can include delays or denial of access to justice for court users\, proceedings becoming more difficult or expensive\, and increased risks to Occupational Health and Safety of court users. \nIn response to one such recent critical asset failure at 436 Lonsdale Street\, Melbourne\, a major program was undertaken comprising 16 interrelated projects across seven sites to replace courtrooms\, associated facilities\, and office accommodation\, impacting nearly 1\,000 people across the Courts Group. CSV’s BE Division led the program with input from across CSV and the court jurisdictions. \nClick here to register\n  \n\nAbout the speaker:\nVijay Eden\, Manager\, Asset Systems\, Court Services Victoria\n \nVijay is a seasoned asset management professional with an engineering background. He has more than 30 years of leadership experience in strategic asset management in both the public and private sectors. Vijay is proficient in providing high-quality service\, advice\, and support in the delivery of whole-of-asset lifecycle projects and improvements associated with infrastructure matters from concept to completion\, within a unique and complex portfolio of public buildings. He has a proven track record in implementing Asset Management Systems\, Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS)\, promoting proactive maintenance\, and leading reliability engineering. \nVijay’s expertise includes ensuring compliance with the AMAF annual maturity assessments\, Essential Safety Measures (ESM)\, Quality Management Systems (QMS)\, and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). He also supports sustainability initiatives and Service Level Agreements (SLA) in contracts. He is passionate about stakeholder engagement\, change management\, ongoing continuous improvement\, and mentoring new asset management professionals.

SUMMARY:Melbourne - Moving away from reactive maintenance using a systems-based approach
DESCRIPTION:Court Services Victoria (CSV) provides corporate and administrative services that support judicial independence in the administration of justice in Victoria. \nWhen CSV was formed\, it inherited a legacy of asset management issues that included an ageing asset base which was not fit for purpose\, limited asset information\, a largely reactive maintenance strategy\, no centralised location for asset information\, multiple changes in leadership\, and staff who operated predominately in silos. \nSolutions to these issues included a fully integrated system-based approach to assist with breaking down barriers of a siloed organisation\, utilisation of a hierarchy of Asset Management Systems\, focusing on the whole of asset lifecycle and compliance with the Victorian Government’s Asset Management and Accountability Framework (AMAF). \nThese initiatives assisted CSV to move away from a backlog filled reactive maintenance strategy\, where catastrophic failure of critical assets could potentially lead to the shutting down of a justice system\, to a proactive 10-year program of works. \nClick here to register\n  \nAbout the speaker:  \nVijay Eden\, Manager Asset Systems\, Court Services Victoria \nVijay is a seasoned asset management professional from an engineering background with a passion for Occupational Health and Safety.
