Event Description


This course provides an overview of asset management principles and practices for industry and utilities. It examines the function and importance of asset management to asset dependent businesses. Participants will gain insight into key aspects of asset management, including risk assessment, legal, regulatory, ethical, and social requirements, cost-benefit analysis of investment options and life-cycle cost models. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of reviewing and updating plans and evaluating asset performance and capacity. This course will also review the role of information systems in supporting the delivery of an asset management strategy and plan. It provides knowledge on how to monitor the performance of assets and systems, how changes to assets and systems are managed, how asset management key performance indicators are determined, and the need for asset management stewardship reporting and how this is achieved.

About the Event


Preamble

Dr. Ghosh and Dr. Moshref’s 4-hour asset management course is specifically designed to grow engineers’ skillsets in order to apply integrated approaches to manage portfolios of electrical equipment at industrial facilities and utilities. These are the skills that many professional electrical engineers are looking for to advance their careers from purely technical to a combination of technical and managerial. The course focuses on the ISO:55000 standard for managing assets of any kind. Upon completion, students will understand the principles of integrated asset management and be able to help their organizations, in private industry and utilities, realize value from their assets.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Understand the broader perspective of electrical asset management, asset management subject areas, asset management framework and asset management as a profession;
  • Recognize what is involved in creating an asset management strategy, policy and plan, and how these respond to business drivers and can be used to guide operational performance;
  • Explain how effective asset management practices can improve the bottom line of a business;
  • Recognize the importance of analysing life cycle costs, risks, and benefits of investment options;
  • Develop realistic procurement criteria, identifying and evaluating procurement methods, determining terms and conditions, bidding, negotiating, and monitoring the performance of suppliers/contractors;
  • Describe the purpose of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with asset management to meet legal, regulatory, ethical, and social requirements;
  • Determine key performance indicators for asset management;
  • Understand the necessity of asset management audit and reporting;
  • Explain why resource planning, especially for maintenance, life-extension, decommissioning and disposal of assets, is critical for operational excellence; and
  • Recognize the importance of maintaining accurate and up-to-date asset management records and understand how information systems are used to support the delivery of an asset management plan.
