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:

1. Practical Manuals

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 2001 we spent a year developing (unpaid!) a 306 page copyright protected '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 meant to check and finalise many relationships during the delivery of the courses and improved both model and course book between and even during the courses. I also published my (copyright protected) Business Driven Asset Management book in 2003 which also showed a greatly improved (read corrected) model. From 2003 onwards I have continued to improve the model and book and must say that there are quite a few things wrong in the original model as depicted below.

In 2007 the Australian Asset Management Council, another branch of Engineers Australia, published the following model, named the 'AMC Technologies model', which they claimed to have developed, claim copyright for and use in their courses and publications and, likely, (with my course book) as the basis of their 'AM book of knowledge' and certification activities. This model not only shows the same mistakes as in my original, but the very few changes they made show a clear lack of understanding and it would be easy to expose this.

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.
