Last week saw the Melbourne Chapter host another great event where delegates gathered to discuss industry 5.0, the next industrial journey, and what significant implications it may have on all of us. In his presentation, Clive Moore posed the question ‘can you sue an algorithm?’ and prompted the start of an ongoing conversation that as a technical community we have vested interest in.
Last week saw the Perth Chapter host a technical event where selected panellists from Rio Tinto, KPMG and AMCL evaluated some of the intricacies associated with SAMPs in Dynamic Environments.. The discussion invoked further thought and deep evaluation of how Asset Management organisations can apply different approaches to suit business models, meet ISO standards, and have SAMPs that are Useful, Useable & Used in such a rapidly changing world!
Last week saw the Melbourne Chapter host it’s first event of the year where delegates gathered to learn about RAMS (reliability, availability, Maintainability and Safety). In his presentation, Dr Allen Tam presented how RAMS engineering skills contribute to the life-cycle performance of a product/asset/services and how various tools can be applied.
The Sydney Chapter of the Asset Management Council held it’s online AGM yesterday evening. We are delighted to announce the 2023 AMCouncil Sydney Chapter committee line up is:
Last night saw the Canberra Chapter host it’s first event of the year where delegates gathered to learn about how updates to the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act have brought more infrastructure systems within the purview of the legislation. In his presentation, AMCouncil Canberra Chapter Chair Wayne Francisco talked to how the protection of Critical Infrastructure can be aligned within an Asset Management Program with reference to the GFMAM Asset Management Landscape Subjects.
For those local to Melbourne, come along and join the Asset Management Council’s Melbourne Chapter on Wednesday 15 February for an in person technical presentation and networking event on RAMS application for the Asset Life Cycle.

Summary:
RAMS (Reliability Availability Maintainability & Safety) is a common term used in asset management and systems engineering to represent the consideration of uncertainty for a given asset life-cycle. RAMS Engineering as an engineering discipline is dedicated to the elimination of assets, equipment, process, services failures throughout the life-cycle. It is a specialist field as a sub-discipline of Systems Engineering which is recognised as important during design phase but often not utilised fully to realised its value. This paper presents how RAMS engineering skills contribute to the life-cycle performance of a product/asset/services and how various tools can be applied.
