Transcription

1 44thESReDA Seminar on RAMS impact on Asset Management Stakeholders and Risk Assessment Methodologies 9th and 10th May 2013 Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, Portugal Scope of the Seminar: In our times, the economic and social environment is increasingly more complex, with the uncertainty in the financial markets and all the new situations that arise with globalization. Organizations, in particular the European ones, needs to improve their performance at all levels, in order to survive. So they must improve their level of ROI (Return on Investment), which is only possible through improving their rates of ROA (Return on Assets), as their physical assets represent the most important component of investment, and usually are not easily tradable. To achieve their goals, organizations must control their business risks through the effective management of their assets. To ensure that this risks are controlled and that the ROI and ROA are provided in a sustained manner, it becomes necessary to manage the equipment (engineering assets) taking into consideration their complete life cycle. Effective management of equipment, especially in capital intensive organizations, implies not only a vision that encompasses aspects of economic and financial nature, but involves permanently technical management of the

2 operations of engineering assets, as they represent the most important part of investments. The scope of this seminar is to provide a forum to present and discuss the relevance of Engineering Asset Management (EAM) and the importance of the contribution of Risk Assessment methodologies to EAM to be successful in all types of organizations: utilities, infrastructures, industries in an environment of economic and social uncertainty. It will provide an opportunity to share the best practices across all economic sectors as well as to identify the new opportunities to apply new concepts across organizations, public or private. Relevant topics for papers: Strategic engineering asset management concepts Risk and reliability analysis and management The importance of risk assessment for Asset Management Application of PAS 55 and the future ISO Key performance indicators for asset and reliability management Asset management and risk assessment with limited information Reliability centered and Risk based maintenance in an Asset Management framework Optimization techniques Key parameters in the operating modes and the mission profile that impact Asset Management Maintenance perspectives in an Asset Management framework Papers for the seminar are invited from all stakeholders (operators, industrialists, regulators, end user associations, universities, R&D organizations, Ministries, engineering contractors and consultants). Domains of application (examples): Energy sector: nuclear and non-nuclear (e.g. fossil, hydro, gas) power plants Process industry: oil and gas industry, chemical and petrochemical facilities Transport (rail, road, air, maritime): supply and distribution network, operation Aerospace industry Military Industry Banking & Insurance Health Electronics Automotive Industry
