Evolving from a Maintenance organisation to an Asset Management organisation
Many companies that already have effective maintenance management in place would like to have an asset management plan for all their facilities. In many cases, this is the logical next step in the evolution towards a professional asset management organisation.
Yet, there is considerable concern and reluctance, rightly or wrongly, to take such action. However, practice shows the real added value in the long term.
In a (strategic) asset management plan, organisational objectives are translated into a plan for the maintenance and asset management organisation and it is specified how these objectives will be achieved. Issues such as the ageing of assets are objectified and the plan is set out to bring the average age and condition of assets up to standard. It is important to move on to life cycle optimisation, taking into account the total life cycle.
During this journey, you as a participant lay the foundations, step by step, for developing professional asset management. In a small group, under the guidance of an experienced specialist and trainer, you will receive theory combined with practical work to be carried out yourself. With a period of a few weeks between each session, there is enough time to test and convert the new ideas in your own business.
This practical training course differs from classic (asset) management training in that it focuses on the most essential processes that are not (sufficiently) developed in many companies.
Evolving from Maintenance to Asset Management
One of the objectives of this course is to move your maintenance organisation to an asset management organisation. Asset management is a concept that has been increasingly used in recent years, both in the public sector (e.g. infrastructure managers) and in the private sector (e.g. manufacturing companies).
The ISO 55000 standard defines asset management as "the coordinated activity of an organisation to create value from assets". It is a set of procedures and tools to optimise the performance of physical assets throughout their life cycle. Asset management helps companies make the right trade-offs between costs, revenues and risks. In this way, it contributes to a structural and sustainable improvement of the operating result.
More and more companies and organisations are looking at how the processes surrounding the investment and management of infrastructure, plant and/or machinery fit into the principles of professional asset management outlined in ISO 55000. The principles behind the standard help companies to ensure that every organisation around assets contributes to the same objectives and that operational silos are broken down. It is still too often the case today that much value is lost through sub-optimisation.

About the trainer
After studying engineering sciences at UCL, Serge Vanden Bulcke spent a few years designing and building transport, mixing and grinding equipment for powdered products, and then automatic handling and transport equipment.
Since 2000, he has been working on projects to optimise the organisation of maintenance, often accompanied by the implementation of CMMS. Through the realisation of such organisational improvement projects, Serge has acquired over the last few years a solid experience in maintenance and asset management, as well as in the Change Management often inherent to this type of project. He has also successfully completed the IAM certified Asset Management course. Serge joined Mainnovation in 2013 where he is responsible for the Belgian consulting team and participates in the development of the activities in Belgium and France.
Who is this training for?
Technical-operational managers (asset managers, technical directors, maintenance managers, fleet managers, etc.) who want to start applying asset management principles within their organisation. It is best if you already have an idea of what asset management means. If not, we will be happy to send you reading material.
Practical info
The course will be given in French, documentation will be in French and English.
