Advanced RAMS in Asset Management and Maintenance
ADVANCED APPLICATION OF RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, MAINTAINABILITY, AND SAFETY (RAMS), IN THE MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF ASSETS
This three-day course is designed not only for maintenance and asset managers, engineers, and practitioners, but everyone who is involved in the assessment of the condition and logistic support of industrial and infrastructure assets, from developing asset management strategies to implementing efficient and effective life cycle practices, and assessments of assets integrity.
                                                                3-DAY COURSE                                  Course Schedule:

Comments from delegates:
The methods and techniques presented in the RAMS course have supported my everyday thinking and decision-making in engineering management” - Tony Mathwin, Engineering Manager WorleyParsons, WA.
I often apply the RAMS principles in the management of complex projects, from design assessment to commissioning” - Andrew Heinz, Project Manager S.E Asia Pacific & Middle East - Outotec, VIC.
The RAMS techniques form the basis of analysing plant and equipment in large projects for determining maintenance preparedness and due diligence” - Mike Espenschied, Maintenance Adviser Santos GLNG Project, QLD.
I believe the course tutor, Fred Stapelberg, is the most adequately qualified and experienced person to present the impact of RAMS on the management and maintenance of physical assets” - Professor Joe Mathew, CEO, Asset Institute, Queensland University of Technology, QLD.
