SUMMARY:Webinar - Managing Spares for Corrective Maintenance\,  Preventative Maintenance and End-of-Life
DESCRIPTION:Spare parts play a pivotal role in sustaining equipment reliability and availability\, a fact that becomes obvious during both corrective and preventative maintenance activities. When spares are well‑managed and strategically utilised\, maintenance work becomes faster\, more effective\, and more predictable — delivering measurable improvements in reliability\, availability\, and overall cost performance. \nThis session will explore the practical foundations of effective spare parts management across key focus areas: \n\nSpares procurement and supplier engagement\nStorage and preservation practices\nInventory holdings\, control\, and issuing processes\nAccess and availability during maintenance windows\n\nStrong practices in these areas ensure maintenance can be completed within the shortest possible time\, at optimum cost\, and with minimal waste or rework. \nWe will also examine the challenges associated with spare parts discontinuation (obsolescence) and component end‑of‑life\, which can create significant cost\, risk\, and engineering impacts for many facilities. The webinar will outline practical strategies to mitigate these issues to help maintain equipment availability while organisations navigate the risks of obsolescence. \nClick here to register\n  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Alex Jarufe is a senior Asset Management engineer with 30 years of hands‑on experience across Australia’s heavy industries\, including mining and mineral processing\, oil and gas\, chemical processing\, water treatment\, power generation\, food production and agriculture. Throughout his career\, Alex has held key roles spanning Strategic Asset Management\, Maintenance Management\, Shutdown and Turnaround Management\, Maintenance and Reliability Engineering\, Spare Parts Optimisation\, Root Cause Failure Analysis and Defect Elimination\, Maintenance Planning and Scheduling\, Master Data development and Equipment Design. Alex has extensive practical experience in the identification\, management and optimisation of spare parts for complex assets. His work includes developing and deploying strategies to manage obsolescence risk in critical applications\, ensuring continued equipment availability and preventing major operational disruptions.\n		\n			\n		\n\n					Following the conclusion of our Challenges Associated with Spares Management During the Operational Phase webinar series\, we are delighted to present one additional session for those who would like to continue the discussion. This special webinar builds on the themes of the series and offers further practical insights for attendees.

SUMMARY:Webinar - AI in Asset Management and Municipalities
DESCRIPTION:Join us to explore AI in Asset Management and Municipalities\, featuring: \n\nDean Trumbley\, Chief Administrative Officer\, Greenwood\, BC\, and Christina Benty\, Founder\, Strategic Leadership Solutions\, will present on their Award-Winning project. Resilient Greenwood – Building the Future Together won a Union of British Columbia Municipalities Excellence in Asset Management Award for implementation of a transformative approach to infrastructure planning by integrating strategic asset management with proactive community engagement. This forward-thinking initiative\, led in partnership with Strategic Leadership Solutions and LandInfo Technologies Inc.\, is redefining how municipalities sustain essential services like water\, roads\, and waste management – and how they shift the narrative from talking about taxes to focusing on services.\n\n\nStephen Lothrop is an Electrical Engineer with PAE Engineers and leader of an AI innovation project with the Linux Foundation’s Coalition for Smarter Buildings and the Asset Leadership Network. Mr. Lothrop will outline the ways AI for Assets was introduced to the award-winning PAE headquarters building in Portland\, Oregon. The building was purposefully built to publicly demonstrate advanced technology tools and processes that can advance management of all facility assets. However\, the smart assets in the building were not communicating effectively with each other. The AI innovation project allowed visibility to photovoltaics charging battery storage assets in a way that improved combined use of these assets\, which mimic a utility grid and is therefore advantageous beyond facility asset management. Other repeatable innovations will be shared.\n\n\nWendy McPate\, Chair\, Asset Management Council will provide a brief overview of her recent trip to Washington\, D.C. for the Global Asset Management Summit: Repeatable Success Stories\, which promoted this VBAM web series.\n\n  \nThe presentations will be followed by a Discussion Panel with Dean Trumbley\, Christina Benty\, Nick Phillips\, Mike Bordenaro and Wendy McPate to answer your questions! \n  \nClick here to register
