This course lays the foundation for the development of an asset management (AM) scorecard. Over the course of eight topics, it explains performance measurement terms and concepts such as objectives, KPIs, leading and lagging indicators, PDCA, and data vs information. It then provides a framework for a "balanced AM scorecard" and discusses the use of benchmarking for setting targets. Finally, it emphasizes the identification of forums where KPIs can be discussed and action taken in line with the PDCA cycle, providing a template for a measurement plan.

The starting point for any asset management system is a complete register of all the organisation’s physical assets. This course explains the need for an asset information system and explains the difference between a computerised maintenance management system (CMMS) and an enterprise asset management system (EAMS), with some selection and implementation guidelines. Next is the asset register, with some best practices regarding the asset hierarchy, relevant asset attributes, and asset numbering, and the relationship between the engineering and financial asset registers. It also covers document management and the importance of a document management system and configuration control.

Risk management is an integral part of asset management, and the ISO 31000 standard for risk management is often referred to as ISO 55000’s “sister”. It is therefore important to get a handle on risk and risk management principles, as well as the related concepts of “compliance” and “governance”.
This course is largely structured according to the risk management framework in ISO 31000, covering all its steps as well as related concepts such as the risk register, the hierarchy of risk management, management of change and the three lines of defense against risk. A real-life case study is discussed to illustrate how neglecting risk management resulted in a catastrophe.

The main purpose of the reliability engineer is to prevent the negative consequences of asset failures, rather than preventing all asset failures. This statement is expanded on and explored in this course, in which we define reliability terminology and principles, explain the importance of the PF curve, and align on the functions of the reliability engineer. We also look at different kinds of failures, various maintenance methodologies, and how the reliability engineer can select the appropriate maintenance strategy by using the so-called FMEA or RCA process.

This course covers the “engine room” of the Maintenance Department – the maintenance work management process, from the triggering of a work request and its validation, to the scoping and planning of the work, its resourcing, scheduling, allocation and execution. It covers the principles and best practices for each step, as well as the responsibilities, possible pitfalls, and the KPIs to measure their success. The course also emphasises the importance of complete and accurate work order feedback, as well as the use of systems and technologies to streamline the process.
