RAID
Held annually in collaboration with Federation University, the RAID event is a series of virtual presentations by final year students undertaking maintenance and asset management research projects as an opportunity to share their research and findings with Industry and for Industry to find out what is happening with the latest research and how this can be applied to your organisation.

How to use Analytics to Prevent the Deferral of Critical Maintenance
What can asset managers do to prevent the deferral of critical maintenance? And how can they use analytics to assist with this? When budgets are tight, or there are competing priorities for funds, deferring maintenance is an easy target for decision-makers in Finance,...
Free e-book – condition monitoring and predictive maintenance
The Asset Management Council has released the next issue in its series of e-books exploring commonly asked Asset Management Questions. This paper addresses the belief that there is no difference between maintenance based on the assessed condition of an item and the...
Experience with education in maintenance and reliability engineering by off campus learning
Physical plant assets are tending to remain in service for beyond their design lifetime. Arguably, a greater professional input is needed into the maintenance and reliability engineering of these assets, yet few universities offer such content in undergraduate...
Determination of optimal preventive maintenance strategy for serial production lines
A Split System Approach (SSA) based methodology is presented to assist in making optimal Preventive Maintenance decisions for serial production lines. The methodology treats a production line as a complex series system with multiple PM actions over multiple...
Research On Influences On Maintenance Management Effectiveness
Maintenance management is a complex partnership between the people directly or indirectly involved in maintenance, the processes and strategies to direct the people’s actions, the physical assets being maintained, and the Computerised Maintenance Management Systems -...
Zero-breakdown machines and systems: Productivity needs for next-generation maintenance
Predictive maintenance (or prognostics) is critical to any engineering systems to avoid system breakdown, in particular, for complex systems. With the recent advances on pervasive computing, prognostics can be easily embedded in any devices and systems. When smart...
Value Driven Preventive Maintenance Activities Using Quadrant Analysis
An organization’s maintenance strategy may consist of many thousands, even tens or hundreds of thousands of preventive maintenance activities. These activities, properly executed, determine the success of the preventive maintenance program. The management of large...
Improving Maintenance
This paper discribes how implementing a system of scheduled mechanical maintenance for a production operation is not ground breaking in terms of maintenance improvement, just logical. The aim of this process was to move from an informal planned maintenance scenario to...
Intelligent Maintenance System Application to Glue Dispensing Machine
The tiny hole at the needle distal of the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Dispenser is frequently blocked due to the impure glue or clotted glue. Although many research studies have been performed for Intelligent Maintenance System (IMS), few of them are relevant to the...
Maintenance Scheduling Using Primavera Resource Levelling
This paper discussed the resource levelling at the Shell Oil Refinery in Geelong, Victoria. This is being done using Primavera Enterprise. At the Shell Oil Refinery in Geelong (Victoria), it has been recognised that scheduling of maintenance activities will lead to...
