- Description: Fluctuating demands and increased competition in Australia and Asian countries have been putting more pressure on plants for packaged meat products in Australia. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) was seen a solution and is currently being implemented within a major meat processing facility in Melbourne, Australia for achieving high Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Concerns were raised by board of directors due to OEE targets not meant. TPM was initially applied in key areas of the business, thermoforming and packaging for reducing wastes and further enhancing productivity and quality. It is now being rolled out to other sections of the plant. Data collected from fifty-two weeks of production has been analysed and recommendations made to achieve OEE targets for the R145 production line. Risk based maintenance was applied to control adverse effects of packaging quality which significantly influences shelf life. Shelf life of a modified atmosphere packaged product assures safety for consumption of meat products by consumers. Risk based maintenance considered asset failure probabilities, impacts on quality and availability of spare parts. Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) resulted in a Risk score for each maintenance activity and as a component was used for TPM program. Findings from this study have been passed on to the meat processing facility for implementation in the entire plant.

- Description: Remote asset management are faced with additional challenges in monitoring conditions, coordinating logistics for maintenance crew, transport and spare parts for maintenance delivery and asset replacements. Recent trends in technologies, remote performance monitoring and risk-based decision making in Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operations and Maintenance Expenditure (OPEX) decisions for asset management are being embraced by asset intensive industries around the world, where critical assets are located in geographically distributed remote areas or difficult to inspect and maintain locations. Industries are also pushing boundaries by reducing crew size, deferring capital expenditure and overhauling and decision making in inspection and in some cases relaxing Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) recommended maintenance schedules. This paper discusses some of the issues and challenges with remote asset management. Illustrative example from heavy haul rail is used to explain reduction in Life Cycle Costs (LCC) and further enhancing operational performance.
