It doesn't pay being an innovator!!
In 2001 we spent a year developing (unpaid!) a 306 page 'Business Driven Asset Management' manual and model (below), for Engineering Education Australia, a branch of the Institution of Engineers, Australia (now Engineers Australia).
As this model was developed based on 'first principles', it was 'preliminary' and it changed after every delivery of the course. I  published my Business Driven Asset Management book in 2003 which included greatly improved and corrected model, as there were quite a few things wrong in the original model.

In 2007, seven years later,  the Australian Asset Management Council, another branch of Engineers Australia, published the 'AMC Technologies model', which they claimed to have developed, claim copyright for and use in their courses and  publications and, likely as the basis of their 'AM book of knowledge' and certification activities. This model is alarmingly similar tomy model. Not only does it show the same mistakes as in my original, but the very few changes they made show a clear lack of understanding the model and of asset management. Could an organisation that shows such lack of understanding of asset management certify practitioners??

An AMC representative claimed that they developed this from the "EUT maintenance model' by Bill Geraerds, which is in the public domain. I reproduce this EUT model so you can make up your own mind whether the "AMC's model' is based on the EUT model or whether it is alarmingly similar to my own model.
