Asset Productivity Optimisers

We combine operations, maintenance and support functions, to optimise the balance between asset output (revenue, profit, return on investment), input of resources (cost) and risk, which meets the aim of any business at any level.
We employ three methods of assisting you optimising asset output and transfering skills to your employees:
  • systematically cover various asset management improvement methods,with real life examples and analysis sheets and charts, to apply the methods without further assistance.

2. In-house Training Courses

  • The courses teach up to 24 of your personnel a technique, following our manual with a PowerPoint presentation.
  • You benefit from the invaluable positive contribution of good facilitation.
  • We use your assets for excercises and you can have your first asset thoroughly analysed, as part of the training.

3. Consulting

  • Together with you, we develop a program to analyse and improve the performance of your assets and systems.
  • We transfer skills for sustained improvement.
  • Consulting starts with a short training, followed by a facilitated analysis of your selected assets using a certain technique.
In a course we may only analyse one asset and in consulting we may do several assets.

It doesn't pay being an innovator!!
In 2000 we spent a year developing (unpaid!) a 306 page 'Business Driven Asset Management' course book and model (below), for Engineering Education Australia, a branch of the Institution of Engineers, Australia (now Engineers Australia).
I developed book and model from 'first principles', and several topics and relationships between topics seemed to have more than one possibility. During the various courses it became clear what these should be for optimal asset management results and we changed the model and corresponding text repeatedly and also found an unexpected number of mistakes, some fairly embarrassing. In 2003 we published book and model and legally deposited it in a number of libraries for copyright protection. 
Original Published Model
In 2007, seven years later, a highly regarded organisation, operating in the asset management industry, published a model, which they claim to have developed, claim copyright for and use in their courses and  publications. This model is alarmingly similar to my original model, as appeared in the course book in 2000. They include one more block, which refers to 'non asset management solution'. Apart from this, both models have 21 blocks, 16 with the same text, 17 in the same position and about 25 out of 29 relationships between the blocks the same. It also shows the same mistakes as in my original model and the few differences seem to relate more to maintenance than asset management. They affect the homogenuous balance of the original model. (The organisation requested that I removed their model from this website).

The organisation claims that their model existed in the public domain in 1991 and one of their representatives claimed that they developed this from the 'EUT maintenance model' by Bill Geraerds, which is indeed in the public domain. I reproduce this EUT model below so you can make up your own mind whether either our (and their similar model) shows any similarity to this model.

We searched for any model, afer I finished developing my course material and model  in 2000, and on several occasions since and have not been able to find anything, even faintly resembling our model. We would be happy to receive any such model from anybody, out of curiosity!!
