Webinar - Squirrel Stores - why do they exist and options for removal
2026-02-26 12:00 - 13:00
A “squirrel store” is, as the name suggests, a store of spares kept outside the main stores system and warehousing program. These stores are not measured or controlled for quantity and, depending on storage practices, may also be lacking in quality. The use of spares from these stores remains a hidden cost and can mask the true cost of maintaining plant and equipment.
There are many reasons squirrel stores come into being. These will be discussed, along with how these extraneous stores can be eliminated.
The webinar will also cover real-world examples and solutions that may assist others in addressing the issue of squirrel stores.

Webinar - Spares Analysis Process Review Supporting Capital Investment Program
2026-03-12 12:00 - 13:00
The review of the Capital Program Spares Assessment process identified significant gaps that led to incorrect outputs and, at times, incomplete assessments. These issues resulted in inadequate spares being handed over at project completion, placing additional pressure on Operations and Maintenance teams to identify and procure requirements post-handover, causing delays and increased operational costs.
To address these shortcomings, the process needed to be redesigned to improve:

accuracy
consistency
accountability.

Integrating reliability engineering principles and clarifying team responsibilities were critical to strengthening decision-making.
The objective is to establish a framework that enhances asset performance, reduces operational risk, and supports cost-effective outcomes across capital projects.

Webinar - Managing Spares for Corrective Maintenance, Preventative Maintenance and End-of-Life
2026-03-26 12:00 - 13:00
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.
This session will explore the practical foundations of effective spare parts management across key focus areas:

Spares procurement and supplier engagement
Storage and preservation practices
Inventory holdings, control, and issuing processes
Access and availability during maintenance windows

Strong practices in these areas ensure maintenance can be completed within the shortest possible time, at optimum cost, and with minimal waste or rework.
We 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.

Dean 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.

Stephen 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.

Wendy 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.

Executive sponsorship and governance provide the ownership, accountability, and momentum needed to successfully deliver asset data transformation. Communicating the asset data model in business terms helps executives understand its value in improving investment decisions, reducing risk, and enhancing operational outcomes. Early stakeholder engagement, clear communication, and practical examples build confidence, support change adoption, and sustain commitment.

Leveraging asset portfolio data for integrated maintenance investment modelling

How do you turn millions of asset data records into confident maintenance decisions? Main Roads Western Australia manages a diverse infrastructure portfolio spanning roads, bridges, electrical assets, intelligent transport systems and associated infrastructure across one of the largest geographically spread road networks in the world. This presentation explores the critical role of data quality, completeness and timeliness in building a reliable long-term maintenance investment model. It shares the journey of transforming disparate data sources into asset-class-specific models that collectively provide a portfolio-wide view of future maintenance needs. The result is an integrated decision-support capability that translates complex asset information into practical, evidence-based insights for long-term maintenance planning and investments.

Data to Dollars: Data from the Executive’s Viewpoint

Executives do not experience data as rows, tags, dashboards, or reports. They experience data as confidence, risk, timing, trade-offs, accountability, and enterprise value. This 15-minute executive overview introduces Data to Dollars: a practical framework for converting operational evidence into better decisions, better actions, and measurable outcomes across financial performance, safety, environmental stewardship, service reliability, and license to operate. The session also reframes data sustainability. Data are sustainable when they are anchored to gaming-resistant KPIs that signal the value being sought — as leading or lagging indicators. When the KPI is meaningful, the data required to support it become durable, governed, and decision-relevant. The message is simple: data are the difference between deciding and guessing. The executive challenge is to create a clear line of sight from operational evidence to enterprise value.
