C902: Leadership in Asset Management

Leadership in Asset Management presents a considerable challenge, which needs to be taken up with the necessary skills in the pocket

C902 photo1The Asset Management / Maintenance function intends keeping the Physical Assets in its care in a good operational condition. Its objective is to sustain a high level of Operational Readiness (Availability, Reliability, Operability, and Qualibility), at acceptable levels of Safety, Environmental Risk, and Cost.

Leadership in Asset Management involves leading the functions of Asset Management / Maintenance. It particularly keeps itself busy with achieving success through people. The objective of its companion course, C901, is to equip engineers with knowledge regarding the strategic and tactical aspects of Asset Management / Maintenance Engineering.

Even so, C901 cannot include all the necessary learning to prepare an individual to be a top class Asset Manager / Maintenance Manager. C902 fulfills that purpose. The two together produce the foundation for Asset Management Excellence and Career Progression.

Leading the Asset Management function needs considerable skill. It is much more than just managing technical results. Asset Managers need to steer the function to have the greatest effect on the output of the organisation.

To achieve this the Asset Manager should:

This course aims to provide the skills, knowledge, and innovative capacity to practicing Asset Managers / Maintenance Managers to make them into successful achievers. This includes addressing and teaching them knowledge and vocational insight into issues such as:

  • The profit impact of a properly run Asset / Maintenance department.
    • The challenges and dilemmas inherent to maintenance today; how to manage it, understanding the ‘New Maintenance Management Paradigm’.
    • Classical Management Theory as a basis for success.
    • Leadership and its critical role in maintenance.
    • Achieving personal mastery, so as to be enabled to lead others successfully.
