Asset Performance Manager SEQ, Queensland Rail

To introduce a best practice asset management system, overcome the 140 year old “Memory Wall” and reach their full potential - Queensland Rail required a major shift in their thinking. Moving from their present “run to fail” culture to an integrated “whole of life” asset management approach, meant realising the purpose of a safe, customer focused and efficient railway.

  • How Queensland Rail started off applying best practices
  • How to get your maintenance team on board
  • What makes a good planner?
  • Managing your work-order backlog
  • The network owner and operations partnership
  • Managing large corridor closures with over 50 work groups and 125 work activities including 924 tasks
  • Evidence of continuous improvement

Key take-away points:

  1. Get your staff trained in best practice methodology
  2. Get your communication sorted - be the one to change the attitude with your staff
  3. Trend your achievements and enjoy and celebrate success
