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.
