Learning Objectives

  • Broaden knowledge of the role of Asset Strategy Management (ASM) in the asset management system and the value it delivers.
  • Learn the key elements for effective reliability strategy development.
  • Understand the foundations of ASM and how to implement them.

Key Learnings

  • A course designed to give you everything you need to lead and manage an Asset Strategy Management (ASM) process. ASM is a business process describing how asset maintenance plans are managed over time to continue to provide the desired balance of risk, cost and performance.
  • ASM has the objective of ensuring reliability strategy decisions (what you choose to do) and reliability strategy content (how you choose to do it and why you chose to do it) is optimal and implemented on all assets, all the time. To ensure that the optimal strategy is on all assets, all the time requires ongoing review, and update, of the performance of the asset, and adjustment of the reliability strategy to meet changing performance needs or operational conditions.

Why you should attend:

  • High maintenance costs and unplanned downtime
  • No line of sight from the tasks being executed in the field to reliability strategy decisions
  • Challenges in benchmarking asset performance and measuring continuous improvements
  • Inconsistent maintenance plans and Master Data
