The Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand has recently finalised its requirements for ISO bodies providing audit and certification of asset management systems to ISO 55001 specifications.

The ISO released its first series of standards on asset management in 2014. What is commonly referred to as "ISO 55000" is really a suite of three documents.

During this time Sandy Dunn, Managing Director has sponsored a variety of speaking events, such as 'Making Engineering Diverse' breakfast in Perth.

The paper, titled 'Selling the Value of Asset Management to Senior Management', was voted by the delegates at the AMPEAK conference in Sydney last week.

65 Roses Day was a great success this year in Perth with orders topping 7,500 roses - 2,000 more than last year.

Our Brisbane team worked together with Mission Australia to transform the front garden of Roma House into a more tranquil and homely space.

Let's discuss how to start the journey towards implementing an ISO 55001 compliant asset management system, and what you need to consider before you start.

Asset management is based on 4 fundamentals that were agreed during the development of ISO 55000. This short video will help you understand these fundamentals.

ISO 55001 contains a lot of words, and no pictures or graphics. This video visually explains the key elements of ISO 55001 and how they fit together.

Let's think more broadly about factors that influence maintenance productivity, including the other departments that interact with maintenance.

Changing organisational culture is difficult and takes considerable time. Let's discuss the methods of leadership and performance measures that can help.

Using the latest research and practical experience, let's outline the ways maintenance managers can reduce or eliminate the impact of human error.

Let's explore a streamlined approach for determining equipment criticality, which achieves the desired results while consuming less of your time.

This month, our Brisbane team helped the community by giving their time to Mission Australia's Youth Beat Service.

The most recent community day was dedicated to Mission Australia's Youth Beat Service where the team put together care packs and Christmas hampers.

In this presentation given at the IMARC conference in 2014, we discuss how to improve equipment and people productivity in the mining industry.

If you’ve made the commitment to implement an asset management system, then your organisation is going to need a leader who can execute it.

If your maintenance function is already succeeding, there are three key areas in which continuous improvement can further improve maintenance productivity.

Most organisations identify "critical" assets extremely poorly, and the effort that they put into these assessments is mostly wasted. Let’s examine why.

Once we’ve determined the work that needs to be done, the work needs to be executed efficiently and effectively to get the best from our limited resources.

Anybody and everybody can have a work management framework within their organisation, but what needs to be considered to make this framework good?

The amount of effort required to implement a revised optimised maintenance program is often underestimated.

Even with mature preventive maintenance programs, there are opportunities to reduce maintenance time while simultaneously improving performance and reliability.

Let's explore a range of alternative approaches for organisations and individuals to use when developing and optimising preventive maintenance programs.

Here are four core concepts which apply to the development of effective preventive maintenance programs, no matter what approach you use.

Many asset intensive companies do not understand that the principles of measuring productivity can be applied internally to their maintenance programs.

Most of the billions of dollars that asset-intensive industries pour into training each year is simply wasted. Here are 5 ways to avoid common failures.

Want to certify your asset management systems as being compliant with ISO 55000? Here are 4 key things you need to know about the certification process.

Let's discuss the process for certification of asset management systems against the ISO 55000 suite of standards.

All organisations interested in best practice asset management should align with the requirements of ISO 55000, whether they seek formal certification or not.
