Training aim

Key points will be emphasised with case study examples. There will be a combination of presentation sessions and workshops during this programme.
Learning objectives
Asset management is vitally important for all capital intensive industries which rely on cost effective and trouble free operation of their plant and equipment in order to deliver products and services to their customers. Every organisation carries out asset management – the key question is how well is this done? Typically asset management is inherently a cross-functional activity involving aspects such as new project design, commissioning, operation & maintenance. Getting the right dialogue taking place between these groups is necessary so that joined up thinking takes place and the life cycle costs of assets are minimised.
This course discusses in depth the key features involved in asset management throughout the life cycle of equipment. Best practices drawn from a range of different industries are introduced. In addition, the skills, attitudes and competencies necessary for effective asset management are fully discussed. The latest tools and techniques are introduced and explained with a minimum of jargon so that delegates can see how to use them in their situation. The asset management standard PAS 55 is introduced and reviewed. The link between its sections and important aspects of asset management which have been discussed is highlighted. Where to obtain further information about the standard and how to assess one’s organisation against it are discussed.

The following aspects are covered in a straightforward way:
Life cycle costing advantages and issues
Asset policies & strategies derived from the business plan
