The 29th National Congress of Maintenance and Asset Management, and XXIX Exhibition of Products, Services and Equipment Maintenance and Asset Management, was held in Santos, Brazil between September 29 and October 03 2014. The conference attracted over 400 delegates, speakers and exhibitors. The Asset Management Council was represented at this event by Board Member, Deryk Anderson. The attendance of the Asset Management Council at this ABRAMAN event continues the collaboration between the Australian and Brazilian Asset Management associations.

During the conference, the Asset Management Council’s Asset Management Fundamentals course was presented to approximately seventy participants. Sequential translation was used to conduct the one day session in both English and Portuguese.

A pilot of the Certified Asset Management Assessor (CAMA) exam was also run with 26 people attending. This pilot raised the number of test candidates globally to around 50 and enabled the assessment of the impact of English as a second language on exam results.

Reflecting on the experience Deryk said: “There are many similarities between asset management professionals in Brazil and Australia. We are at similar stages in our development, and there is much we can learn from each other. I look forward to the continuing trend of collaboration between our organisations and the benefits that it brings.”

Unsung heroes! Assets of the Asset Management Council! Whatever the description, there is no doubt that Asset Management Council volunteers are leaders of industry, who volunteer their time to enrich the services and products of the Asset Management Council, for the benefit of the greater asset management community.

Findings from a recent 2014 Stakeholder Survey showed the importance of volunteers and clear evidence from the asset management community for continued access to good quality information. This has led to enhancing the volunteer structure and portfolio to further support the needs of the members and the asset management community.

Introducing ‘The Executive

Volunteering time, knowledge, experience, contacts and above all enthusiasm, it is the role of ‘The Executive’ to drive and promote transparency in decision making and sharing across the many facets which constitute the Asset Management Council.

"Our vision is to be a worldwide community of organisations providing leadership for maintenance and asset management communities"

Hans Klemme-Wolff - Founding Chairman - GFMAM

Established in 2010, the Global Forum on Maintenance and Asset Management (GFMAM) consists of ten not-for-profit maintenance and asset management organisations from around the world. An enduring objective of the GFMAM is to facilitate the exchange and alignment of maintenance and asset management knowledge practices; the lever which commenced the universal branding and unification of asset management, by way of the Asset Management Landscape (gfmam.org) and its subsequent updates.

With the Landscape and the publication of ISO 5500X Asset Management Standard, the GFMAM created the ‘Competency Specification for an ISO 55001 Asset Management Auditor Assessor’ to support the competence of people who audit or assess organisations to ISO 55001. Recently a joint venture, World Partners in Asset Management (WPiAM), was formed to deliver outcomes from this specification.
