Dear Colleague,
The common misconception is that an ageing asset is an expensive asset and that an ageing asset involves increased maintenance,
reduced productivity and low profit margins
However, with the correct tools and management skills, investment into an ageing asset base can prove a highly productive,
highly efficient and highly profitable venture.
And this is the event that will teach you how the experts are extending the life of their asset base and driving their asset profit
margins beyond all expectations.
This unique conference brings together sensational case studies from around Australia that have seen critical assets and plants
lasting ten, twenty, thirty years longer than expected due to the implementation of advanced life extension strategies and tools.
This is your exclusive opportunity to hear the secrets behind the successes and how to replicate them in your workplace.
Dedicated to bringing you the best speakers from around the world, IQPC are thrilled to announce we are flying in global
maintenance leader, Dr Andrew K S Jardine from Canada for this event. This world renowned expert will draw on his best selling
books and vast knowledge for Australians to learn about progressive life extension strategies.
The high profile speaker faculty come from respected organisations such as the Department of Defence, Boeing Australia,
Australian Rail Track Corporation, International Power Hazelwood and Sydney Water, to name but a few.
This conference will teach you all the strategies essential for pushing an asset to its maximum lifespan without compromising on
quality, efficiency or productivity, translating into the most effective asset management plan.

Amber Brown
