Course Overview

Physical Asset Management can reduce maintenance costs, increase the economic life of capital equipment, reduce company liability, increase the reliability of systems and components, and reduce the number of repairs to systems and components. When properly executed, it can have a significant impact on an organization’s bottom line. This fiveday program has been designed to help managers care for their assets efficiently and effectively through sound and timely decision-making. This certificate program gives participants the tools and methodologies necessary to achieve maintenance excellence in your organization.

Key Takeaways

1
Analyze the key components of physical asset management, including maintenance strategies, risk management practices, and financial planning, to develop effective asset management plans.
2
Apply the principles of lifecycle costing and value management to assess the long-term costs and benefits of asset management decisions, and develop strategies to optimize asset performance.
3
Evaluate the impact of technological advancements on physical asset management, and identify opportunities to leverage emerging technologies such as IoT, AI, and blockchain to improve asset performance and reduce operational costs.
4
Synthesize data from a variety of sources, including asset inventories, condition assessments, and performance metrics, to develop comprehensive asset management plans and monitor progress towards achieving performance targets.
5
Collaborate with key stakeholders, including maintenance personnel, financial analysts, and senior management, to communicate asset management plans and strategies, and gain support for implementation efforts.

The Centre for Maintenance Optimization and Reliability Engineering is directed by Professor Andrew K. S. Jardine, the internationally recognized maintenance optimization expert, within the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto. C-MORE’s research is driven by close interactions with industry, in particular with C-MORE consortium members and with researchers at universities worldwide. Our focus is on real-world research in engineering asset management in the areas of condition based maintenance, spares management, protective devices, maintenance and repair contracts, and failure-finding intervals. These strong industry connections not only benefit the companies we work with, but also our graduate students, who find work in the maintenance divisions of industry leaders after graduation. We apply our research with prototype software tools that obtain valuable information from data in corporate databases. Two of these tools are now commercially available through the Ontario-based C-MORE spinoff company OMDEC, and through Ivara an industry leader and innovator in asset reliability solutions. C-MORE is also the driving force behind IMEC: The Asset Management Conference, which brings together leaders in the global maintenance field. For information about the conference, you can visit our site, or view Maintenance Technology’s article about the conference. C-MORE welcomes maintenance professionals as visitors and collaborators.
