Recently, PEMAC (Canada) held its 2014 annual conference ‘MainTrain’, at which AM Council CEO Sally Nugent was a keynote speaker.
She delivered a well-received paper on the Asset Management Council Models (which members can access by logging in to the member zone), as well as a workshop practice session on using the Companion Guide to ISO 55001 (available here). Delegates were asked to, in small groups, talk about the sample of the Companion Guide provided.
This included a portion of a ‘shall statement’ concerning evaluating assets and asset performance, further explanatory notes and evidence examples. Some really valuable discussions occurred during the workshop, highlighting the many potential answers to the question of “If this ‘shall statement’ was implemented, what would success look like in your organisation?”. Many differing industries, businesses, and points of view enabled a really useful session, with a lot to take away.
PEMAC’s Annual General Meeting was held during the conference. It was here that stakeholders voted to change the direction of PEMAC, from a maintenance society, to a more inclusive asset management society.
Their mission statement is now: “PEMAC is a national not-for-profit association providing global leadership, education and certification in asset management”.
“It was great to share the experience of the asset management journey of providing asset management resources to stakeholders”, said Sally Nugent, CEO Asset Management Council.
