1. Measuring Asset Performance
Andrew O’Connor, Acuitas Reliability  

This workshop will assist participants in achieving business objectives through the appropriate use of asset performance metrics. Participants will cover the use and pitfalls for commonly used asset metrics, the types of data quality issues that may be encountered and how to conduct data quality assurance. The workshop will explain the relationship between specific performance metrics and the activities which form an asset management program. The second half of the workshop will teach and practice participants in calculating and applying the Mean Cumulative Function to inform capital replacement, predict increase in maintenance/support costs, and identify equipment performance in different environments.Asset

2. Leadership: Engaging Stakeholders for Strategic Outcomes
Monique Beedles, Teak Yew

Effective Asset Management requires a multi-disciplinary approach that considers the organisation as a whole and takes a long-term view. As a leader with responsibility for Asset Management outcomes, you need to engage with a wide group of stakeholders, both internal and external to your organisation. Your ability to influence these stakeholders, with or without formal authority, is a critical skill for Asset Leaders in any organisation. This workshop focuses on the conference theme to ‘be part of your organisation’s solution’. You will gain skills that improve your engagement with key stakeholders, to ensure the best strategic outcomes for your business.

3. Improving Maintenance Strategies and Asset Performance Management
Steve Turner, OMCS International

This workshop will emphasise the PM Optimisation methodology, which is an RCM based approach to maintenance analysis designed for existing plant or new plant that has vendor generated maintenance programs. The course material is the result of almost two decades of consultation and successful implementation programs with leading local and international companies. The course will also cover the integration of PM Optimisation, with planning and scheduling, data collection, asset health and incident management techniques. The integration of these processes is known as Asset Performance Management (APM). The course provides a combination of theoretical concepts bedded in with a practical case study completed by the delegates either on paper or on a spreadsheet. Participants receive six months free access to the APM software hosted on cloud or loaded onto their laptop.

4. Managing Reliability with ISO 55000
Philip Sage ARMS Reliability

Five steps to effectively integrate management of reliability within the upcoming release of ISO 55000 standard for asset management. Support the environment needed for better judgment in the operation and maintenance decision making process. Expand techniques like Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) & Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to ensure that maintenance tasks and intervals are more appropriate, selected and justified under ISO 55000. Insight for integration with SAP and MAXIMO, and other systems.

5. Creative Technique to Evolve Condition Based Maintenance Strategies
SAP

Traditionally we have solved problems by overlapping what is viable from a business sense with what is technically feasible. Design Thinking is an approach to solving problems that starts with what is desirable from a people perspective. Design Thinking is generally considered the ability to combine empathy for the context of a problem, creativity in the generation of insights and solutions, and rationality to analyse and fit solutions to the context.

The intent of this workshop is to combine the collective ideas of the workshop participants and apply a Design Thinking approach to Condition Based Maintenance. The outcome will be a comprehensive approach to real time monitoring and analysis of condition based data in order to maximise equipment uptime and operational efficiency.
