The Gap Between the Shop Floor and the Asset Management Strategic Plan

Panel & Debate

Looking at the disconnect between strategic asset management intentions and operational reality on-site. Exploring attitudes such as “she’ll be right, mate — we’ll just do maintenance the way we’ve always done it,” alongside challenges including poor-quality asset data, inconsistencies even across fundamental assets, and contract models that often fail to drive the right behaviours — particularly amongst outsourced service providers.

We’re setting up a live debate between two sides;

  • Operational experience and established maintenance practices can provide continuity and practical solutions when managing assets in complex environments.
  • Poor asset data, inconsistent standards, and ineffective contract models can undermine strategic asset management goals and fail to drive desired behaviours.

Each side will make their case with strong, opposing views!

After that, it’s over to you. We’ll open the floor to the audience — to your opinions, questions, and perspectives. Nothing is off limits. Let battle commence!
