Last night, Brisbane Chapter members took part in a workshop to uncover the impact of operations and maintenance on the asset lifecycle. This in-person workshop brought like-minded professionals together to provide examples and suggestions on how operations and maintenance can be seamlessly integrated into an organisation’s asset management framework, along with identifying the challenges that could be encountered and how these can be overcome.
The event was run as a series of roundtable discussions centred around the following discussion points:
- Considerations for assessing existing O&M approaches and practices, with particular emphasis on their cost and accuracy, alignment with the risk tolerance of the organisation, and how they can be underpinned by a robust governance framework
- Importance of key asset management framework documentation in determining the organisation’s O&M philosophy and their effectiveness in creating a line of sight from strategy to on-ground practices
- Strategies to achieve the O&M objectives identified in the organisation’s asset management framework
- Continuous improvement of O&M practices to increase the efficiency, effectiveness and reliability of service delivery, as well as to improve decisions relating to assets
- Building sustainability within O&M practices to mitigate the impacts of an uncertain and changing environment on asset expectations and outcomes.
