The October Asset Management Practitioner seminar was a huge success attracting approximately 60-70 attendees.
The Brisbane Chapter events are promoted via the Engineers Australia, Queensland Division events page which attracts a broader cross section of the engineering community. This is a win for both the Asset Management Council (promoting asset management) and Engineers Australia (providing CPD). The theme of the October seminar was loosely based on CMMS and corporate member organisations were invited to provide case studies. Presentations were provided from Leighton Contractors (LCPL), Maintenance and Project Engineering (MPE) and SBS Global.
Luke Riddel from Leighton Contractors showcased the integration between works management systems, GIS and decision support tools to provide risk based asset lifecycle modelling. Steve O’Keefe from MPE informed us that the time is right to make the leap to a paperless works management system. Rory Bell provided a case study of asset management improvement at Fultan Hogan NZ including many tips for a successful implementation.
A networking event is being planned for 18 November to wrap up 2013 – Details to follow.
