The fire at Notre Dame Cathedral on 15th April 2019 was an unfortunate event. Many people around the world watched helplessly as flames ravaged the beloved and famed tourist attraction. Before fire fighters were able to control it, the fire destroyed the cathedral and...
Understanding Risks & Asset Assessment Process for WTP Aeration Assets (Control of Legionella)
In 2014, the Water Corporation instigated the “Legionella High Level Risk Assessment Initiative” (LHLRAI), a prioritised work plan to capture cooling tower assets subject to AS3666.1-4 and the Department of Health WA requirements for assessing Legionella risk (Code Of...
How to use Analytics to Prevent the Deferral of Critical Maintenance
What can asset managers do to prevent the deferral of critical maintenance? And how can they use analytics to assist with this? When budgets are tight, or there are competing priorities for funds, deferring maintenance is an easy target for decision-makers in Finance,...

Determination of optimal preventive maintenance strategy for serial production lines
A Split System Approach (SSA) based methodology is presented to assist in making optimal Preventive Maintenance decisions for serial production lines. The methodology treats a production line as a complex series system with multiple PM actions over multiple...
Research On Influences On Maintenance Management Effectiveness
Maintenance management is a complex partnership between the people directly or indirectly involved in maintenance, the processes and strategies to direct the people’s actions, the physical assets being maintained, and the Computerised Maintenance Management Systems -...
Zero-breakdown machines and systems: Productivity needs for next-generation maintenance
