SUMMARY:Hybrid Event (Wellington or Online) -  New Zealand's Approaches to Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Carbon\, how can this be measured\, verified and reduced by 2050 by Dr Lee Bint\, Director Sustainability\, New Zealand Defence Force\, and Rachael Wood\, Sustainability Advisor\, GHD; Climate-related disclosures\, scenario analysis\, and the TCFD framework – what it means for asset management. \nThis is a hybrid event\, with the in person event being held at Welling ton Railway Station Level 1\, and it will be available as a webinar to those wishing to join in online. \nClick here to register\n  \nAgenda:\n\n\n4.00pm: Arrival and registration (for those attending in person)\n4.10pm: Event opening by AMCouncil NZ Chapter\n4.25pm: Carbon\, how can this be measured\, verified and reduced by 2050 by Dr Lee Bint\, Director Sustainability\, New Zealand Defence Force\, and Rachel Wood\, Sustainability Advisor\, GHD\n5.10pm:  Climate-related disclosures\, scenario analysis\, and the TCFD framework – what it means for asset management\n\n\nAbout the presentations and speakers:\nPresentation 1: Carbon\, how can this be measured\, verified and reduced (by 2050)\nThe Defence Estate and Infrastructure sustainability journey began in 2018\, and by 2019 its Sustainability Framework was in play with the vision of Tuku Iho. Tuku Iho in this instance is explained as “our living legacy”. This reflects the ambition to leave the estate and the wider environment in a better condition for future generations. There are four pillars that provide the structure for the framework\, which highlight the complexities and interrelationships across all areas of sustainability. Tuku Iho includes a key action to mitigate the impacts to / from climate change\, while being more comprehensively sustainable. \nAdditionally\, the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) is a participant of the Carbon Neutral Government Programme (CNGP)\, which has been set up to accelerate the reduction of emissions within the public sector. The CNGP requires the measurement and verification of emissions annually\, and a number of key emissions reduction activities to achieve carbon neutrality. \nLee and Rachel will provide insight into the NZDF’s progress to-date\, and discuss how the Defence Estate is mitigating and adapting to climate change\, including how sustainability is being embedded into building designs to reduce emissions in both construction and operation\, as well as to keep people and assets safe from climate hazards that are likely to occur in the area. \nDr Lee Bint\, Director Sustainability\, New Zealand Defence Force\nLee has been leading the Defence sustainability journey since 2018\, establishing and implementing their first sustainability framework and leading a team of technical experts across energy\, sustainable buildings\, resilience and sustainability. During this time\, she has also co-founded the all-of-government sustainability group\, supported numerous other government agencies in commencing on their sustainability pathway\, held the position as Vice Chair of the Carbon & Energy Professionals Board and welcomed her daughter into the world. \nPrior to Defence\, Lee worked as a Sustainable Building Scientist at BRANZ while also completing the Sustainable Business Council Future Leaders’ Programme and being elected the Future Leader’s Representative on the Sustainable Business Council Board\, and also working with UnionAID as the hosts of the Myanmar Young Leaders Programme. \nLee completed her PhD in Building Science at Victoria University of Wellington\, which included the development of a Water Efficiency Rating Tool that was awarded runner-up at the Grow Wellington Bright Ideas Challenge in 2011. \nRachel Wood\, Sustainability Advisor\, GHD\nRachel is an Environmental Economist with a master’s degree in Economics from Auckland University of Technology (AUT) majoring in Ecological Footprint Accounting. As a student\, she discovered a passion for resource management\, climate change research\, environmental economics (impact analysis)\, and social development. She is interested in improving the sustainability of social and economic activity through innovative solutions and effective strategies. During her time at GHD\, she has become more engaged with greenhouse gas accounting for carbon emissions auditing and Climate Change Risk Assessments. \nPresentation 2: Climate-related disclosures\, scenario analysis\, and the TCFD framework – what it means for asset management in practice\nWhat can – and should – asset managers do now in the face of increasing climate change impacts\, evolving climate policies\, and potentially insufficient financial and human resources to address it? The Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework offers an answer – about how to manage climate change strategy\, targets\, action planning\, risk management and financial decisions. \nTCFD reporting – also called climate-related disclosures or climate statements in New Zealand – is now mandatory for most of the country’s financial system and listed companies. It is strongly incentivised for the public sector\, too\, which reports to the Ministry for the Environment and Climate Change Commission under the Zero Carbon Act. \nApplied to asset management\, TCFD reporting can consolidate information on where you want to get to\, what you need to do\, and the good work you’re already doing – but perhaps not thinking of it as climate-related. In the guise of a reporting framework\, TCFD reporting is a strategic planning exercise\, which asset managers can use to test the resilience of their current strategies. Like testing a plane in a wind tunnel\, the TCFD framework uses climate scenario analysis to consider different plausible futures\, such as rapid decarbonisation or ‘hot house’ warming scenarios. \nWith insurers and banks among those required to report\, and international adoption of TCFD reporting in the UK\, TCFD is where all entities’ climate change reporting is going. And it can be immensely helpful to asset managers seeking to organise their approach to climate change. \nMatt Raeburn\, Principal – Strategic Advisory (Climate Change and Sustainability)\, WSP\nMatt is a Principal climate strategist based in WSP’s Wellington office with 18 years of experience in Aotearoa New Zealand and the US. An American-Kiwi who spent a decade in environmental law and policy in Washington DC and Portland\, Oregon\, Matt worked in the Ministry for the Environment’s Climate Directorate from 2018-2021. There\, he implemented parallel TCFD reporting regimes under the Zero Carbon Act and Financial Sector Amendment Act. \nOver 7 years in New Zealand\, Matt has worked with corporate\, council and Central Government asset managers on their climate risks\, strategies\, and reporting projects as a consultant for EY\, Beca\, and now WSP. He recently developed climate scenarios for NZ’s construction and property sector and previously led delivery of the Wellington Regional Climate Change Impact Assessment. \nAdele Jones\, Principal – Strategic Advisory (Asset Management)\, WSP\nAdele is a Principal in our Strategic Advisory team with 20+ years of experience\, leading and delivering a diverse range of strategic advisory\, asset management\, network management and procurement projects\, both nationally and internationally. Adele has worked across a wide variety of horizontal and vertical infrastructure portfolios\, including transport\, 3-waters\, property and buildings\, recreation and aviation. \nAdele’s technical skills span wide range of asset management practices at strategic\, tactical and operational levels\, with a strong focus on aligning with the International Standard for asset management\, ISO 55001. She has experience in asset management policy\, asset management system development\, strategic asset management planning\, investment decision making approaches\, business case development\, asset management planning\, risk management and asset data and information management practices.

SUMMARY:Perth - Asset Management in Government
DESCRIPTION:Digitising Asset Management and Building a Capable Workforce – Marty Stafford\, Assets Manager\, Southern Ports \nIn 2020\, Southern Ports set out to transform its existing asset management practices into a world class\, fully digital Asset Management System (AMS). \nGuided by a clear Strategic Development Plan with a 10-year horizon\, and a vision of ‘Strong Regional Ports\, Strong Regions\, the Board and Executive devised a comprehensive asset management vision and direction. With unwavering leadership and foundations in place\, the Asset Management team developed and implemented a fully integrated and digitised AMS\, aligned with ISO 55000 and asset management best practice\, including the four principles of the Asset Management Council’s Asset Management Concept Model. \nWithin three years\, Southern Ports transitioned from ad hoc\, manual asset management – underpinned by paper-based policies\, disparate databases and manual record-keeping and analysis – to a fully digitised system. The AMS intrinsically links each element of the organisation’s asset management framework with its core vision and objectives\, and it is supported by robust capabilities\, assurance systems and a strong culture of learning. \nAs part of an asset management system transformation\, Southern Ports developed and deployed an online continuous learning system and information library to help develop a workforce capable of meeting its asset management objectives. \nThe process involved an analysis of ‘current state’ staff training and experience\, as well as training needs and career path development options. Southern Ports developed a robust methodology for mapping Global Forum on Maintenance & Asset Management (GFMAM) Modules across all role dimensions\, capturing key aspects of knowledge\, skills and experience\, and how they aligned with subject knowledge across the GFMAM subjects. \nTraining occurred at all three regional port sites\, primarily through online modules via a dedicated training management system. The system recorded and retained certification and verification of competencies\, in line with Certified Practitioner in Asset Management and World Partners in Asset Management CAMA examination processes. \nAsset Management in Synergy – Andre Pratama\, Asset Management Lead\, Synergy (Electricity Generation and Retail Corporation) \nAsset management can be a complex subject and often misunderstood. Synergy has recently progressed its asset management journey and conceptualised an ‘infinity diagram’ model to link many parts of the organisation. This presentation will explore various asset management elements and example studies to illustrate how Synergy has embedded improvements in its asset management practice. \nClick here to register\n  \nAbout the speakers:  \nMarty Stafford\, Assets Manager\, Southern Ports \nHaving spent the past 15 years working in Western Australian mining and regional ports sectors in various Asset Management roles\, Marty has a deep understanding of the challenges Asset Managers face in maintaining fit for purpose and ready assets in an ever-changing environment. Leveraging technology and harnessing internal capability has become a focus in meeting asset management objectives now and into the future. \nAndre Pratama\, Asset Management Lead\, Synergy (Electricity Generation and Retail Corporation) \nAndre started his career more than a decade ago heavily focusing on project delivery in capital intensive industries. Throughout the journey his priorities changed from meeting quality\, cost and schedule in that order\, to the balance between cost\, benefit and risk. This was accompanied by career moves spanning from Melbourne\, Tasmania\, Kalgoorlie and now Perth with a few international stints across Asia and Africa.\nHe has worked with various organisations such as GM Motor\, Newcrest\, BHP\, Water Corp\, Rio Tinto and Assetivity. Now he works in Synergy and is continually intrigued by the challenges and complexity of the energy market.

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. He has more than 30 years of leadership experience in strategic asset management both in the public and private sectors.

SUMMARY:Gippsland (Hybrid Event) - Asset Management Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Asset Management Council Australia\, the Engineers Australia Gippsland Committee\, and the Centre for Smart Analytics at Federation University present:  \nAsset Management Workshop \nThursday 6 April | 4pm – 5pm AEST \nhybrid event (dial in online or attend in person at one of two Federation University satellite hubs) \nThis event is free for all guests \nClick here to register \nThis will be a hybrid event\, with option for those to dial in remotely OR to attend in person at one of the following satellite hubs: \n\nRoom Y243 Y Building Mt Helen campus Federation University\nRoom 2W263 Churchill campus Federation University (streamed)\n\nTopics and speakers include: \nMaintenance and Asset Management of Industrial Assets: Emerging Trends in Tribological Practices \nProfessor Raghuvir Pai\, President – Asset Management Society of India & Professor of Mechanical Engineering Manipal Academy of Higher Education \nThe tribological behaviour of rotating and sliding parts in industrial assets plays a decisive role in influencing the life of these parts. Understanding the tribological aspects and behaviour of machine components by maintenance professionals is important to improve performance and productivity. A knowledge of tribological principles helps in developing and applying these tools and techniques necessary for effective maintenance. \nA significant impact on maintenance and asset management has been made in recent years by machine learning\, data analytics\, artificial intelligence\, Remote Performance Monitoring and Internet of Things. In this study\, the tribological aspects related to maintenance\, reliability and asset management are analysed. The outcomes of this study are beneficial to engineers and managers in order to recognise and realize the relationship between tribology\, maintenance and reliability for better asset management. \n \nReliability in Cold Rolling Mills – Hydraulic Group Control \nKevin Naidoo\, Reliability Improvement Leader\, Bluescope Steel \nIn this talk Kevin will discuss \n\nthe importance of correctly setting pressure relief valves in hydraulic circuits\,\nthe failure modes associated with plant; \nand the costs associated with failures.\n\nKevin will use a real case from the Australian Steel Industry in the presentation. He is Maintenance Team Leader & Reliability Improvement Leader and has 25 years of heavy\, medium\, and light industry experience on fixed and rotating plant track record of cross collaborative teamwork between departments within organisation to ensure continuous improvement of plant and assets.
