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:Sydney - Securing Your Asset Management Budget
DESCRIPTION:Asset managers are often pawns in achieving an organisation’s desired balance of “cost\, risk\, and performance”. Put another way\, when the numbers don’t add up\, one or more of these three characteristics must change— but which? Two of the characteristics are readily evident and measurable\, while risk is not. Achieving desired performance along with budget cuts seems seductively possible— for a while. But like gravity\, the inevitable increase in risk exposure\, in the form of deteriorating reliability and availability\, takes hold. Like gravity and mass\, reliability and availability possess inertia. Thus\, by the time the impacts of budget cuts become evident\, the originator has taken their bonus and left the scene of the crime\, leaving a successor with the hard sell of recovery\, which may take years of additional expenditure. Successful asset managers understand the importance of protecting their budget through the defensibility of every line item of expenditure. This presentation by Jim Kennedy will explore the production of a defensible preventive maintenance program as an essential core of any asset management plan. Key to this exploration is “risk and maths”\, noting that it is not the task that determines the budget cost but how often the task must be done to assure desired performance. \nClick here to register\n  \n\nAbout the speaker:\nJames (Jim) Kennedy\, Director\, Interlogis Consulting Pty Ltd; Founding Chair and Past Sensei\, Asset Management Council (Australia); and Past Member IEC TC56 – Dependability Standards.\n \nJim is a Mechanical Engineer with postgraduate qualifications in Risk Management and also in Maintenance Engineering and Management from Swinburne University in Melbourne.

SUMMARY:Perth - AMPEAK 2024 Highlights
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exclusive technical event hosted by the Asset Management Council\, where we bring a selection of some of the best presentations from the 2024 AMPEAK National Conference to our Perth members. This event is a unique opportunity to gain insights into the latest trends\, innovations\, and best practices in asset management. Network with fellow professionals and industry experts while enjoying in-depth presentations that have captivated audiences at the national level. Don’t miss this chance to stay at the forefront of asset management excellence right here in Perth. \nFeaturing: \n\nPractical Application of Lean Manufacturing Principles to Optimize Rotable Component Maintenance in Shutdowns – Nyssa MacManus\, Rio Tinto\nDigitally Enabled Asset Management Plans; A Practical Approach – Mark Bourhill\, GHD\nUsing spatial technology to navigate asset management for geographically dispersed portfolios – Jane Hogben\, Duratec\n\n  \nClick here to register\n  \n\nAbout the Presentations and Speakers:\nPractical Application of Lean Manufacturing Principles to Optimize Rotable Component Maintenance in Shutdowns – \nThe purpose of this case study is to demonstrate the methodology followed which enabled the optimized execution of complex major rotable component maintenance during planned shutdown windows. In context this methodology draws on the Lean Manufacturing Principle of Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) to optimize maintenance sequencing\, to dramatically reduce the time it takes to complete equipment changeover. The essence of SMED is to convert as many changeover steps as possible to “external” (performed while the equipment is running)\, and to simplify and streamline the remaining “internal” steps. Through the implementation of this method\, all machine component movements were clearly mapped and optimized to remove double handling or unnecessary lifts. The detailed understanding of component assembly and disassembly steps also enabled modification of the method to consider and execute contingency scenarios. In conclusions\, the use of such methods associated with Lean Manufacturing Principles\, are highly transferable to completion of major component maintenance and shutdown tasks\, driving continuous improvement in the performance of asset maintenance. \nNyssa MacManus\, CLB Maintenance Superintendent\, Maintenance Solutions\, Rio Tinto\nNyssa is an experienced asset management professional with a wide knowledge base in engineering\, maintenance execution\, and frontline leadership. She graduated with a double degree in Mechanical and Chemical Engineering in 2014 from Louisiana Tech University. \nHer career has stretched from the oil fields of Louisiana to the bauxite hills of Far North Queensland\, and the red dirt of Pilbara. While working fulltime she was able to complete her Master of Science in Engineering and Technology Management in 2021\, again from Louisiana Tech University. \nNyssa has had exposure to the ‘whole of life’ asset philosophy through her various roles in the industry\, which has allowed her to make improvements and decisions that are not only sustainable but focused on good asset stewardship with a people centric approach to providing practical engineering solutions. \n\nDigitally Enabled Asset Management Plans; A Practical Approach\nThe development of Digital Asset Management Plans provide dynamic visualisation of an organisation owns\, the current state and performance of their assets and the forecast investment required to meet the defined levels of service while managing risk and cost over the life of the asset. The paper sets out the “How to Guide” on designing\, developing\, and populating digital and digitally enabled Asset Management Plans. The presentation will be based on GHD’s experience in developing the Digital Asset Class Management Plans for Southern Ports and Fremantle Ports through digital integration of data sets.The advantage of planning the approach to creating the structure of the Digital Asset Management Plans is that it provides the asset managers with an ISO55001 compliant system with automated updated of the state of their assets and future expenditure projections information at the press of a button. The digital collation of data from various data sets to enable informed asset management decisions on strategies and tactics. The dashboards also provide “plan on a page” information for briefing and reporting to managers and executives. And the hierarchy capability of the informational allows operations and maintenance team members to identify problem assets quickly. \nMark Bourhill\, Executive Advisor Asset Management\, GHD\nMark is a Fellow of the Institute of Engineers Australia and a committee member of the WA Chapter of the AMC. His experience with GHD Advisory Asset Management covers facilities and infrastructure asset consulting services for municipal\, state and federal government agencies\, property management\, resource and minerals miners and processors\, and private owners of assets. Mark’s asset management experience includes preparation of Asset Management Plans for all types of facilities and infrastructure assets\, reviews and development of maintenance strategies and plans\, planning and delivery of condition appraisal programs\, and development of lifecycle cost analysis models. \n\nUsing spatial technology to navigate asset management for geographically dispersed portfolios\nAsset management as a best practice philosophy hit the mainstream in the early 2000’s. Geographic information systems were developed in the 1980’s and have been typically preoccupied with the management and analysis of spatial data in the scientific and planning based industries. It was only 15 years ago that web mapping become widespread with the advent of Google Maps. Cloud and computing similarly became secure\, affordable and adoptable at a large scale in the last decade. Mobile devices now have the sophistication\, connectivity\, and computing power to consume and collect significant volumes of data on-site connecting mobile workers like never before. Finally\, computing clusters are capable of processing increasingly vast volumes of data making spatial techniques such as high fidelity 3D photogrammetry modelling able to be applied to very large and complex assets. The coalescence of this technology and the increasing demand from high value asset financiers for more systematic and data-driven approaches to asset management signal a new horizon in this industry. \nThis paper investigates both the potential and proven uses of spatial technologies to facilitate asset management best practice. One key example being the use of collaborative\, trusted\, current\, and accessible information portals to enable data-driven decision making across the landscape of asset interactions – from the board room to the crib room. Such a solution was designed and implemented for the inspection\, scoping and remediation of a large marine asset facilitating three-way collaboration between asset owner\, owner’s engineer and remediation contractor. A second example sees WA’s Department of Education utilising spatial data\, photogrammetry techniques and the web to carry out statewide condition assessments of over 800 facilities. \nJane Hogben\, Digital Assets Lead\, Duratec\nJane has over 20 years of experience in the geospatial data management and analytics space for a range of disciplines including environmental\, engineering and asset management. She currently leads Duratec’s reality data delivery programme engaging with our clients to support them gaining maximum value from asset digitisation and digital engineering.
