Asset Life Management System (ALMS)<br />
ALMS is a strategic asset planning system that models equipment life to<br />
produce future maintenance budgets and work programs.<br />
Company Information:<br />
Name: Asset Future<br />
Address: PO Box 1516 Toombul, QLD, 4011<br />
Contact Name: Larry Woodland<br />
Phone: (07) 3268 3336<br />
Email: larryw@assetfuture.com<br />
Web: www.assetfuture.com<br />
Software Details:<br />
The ALMS is a set of planning tools producing long term budgets, asset risk &<br />
condition analysis, CMMS work programs and ‘what if scenarios’. It consists of:<br />
ALMS Desktop (DTM) supporting condition assessment and data collection.<br />
ALMS Enterprise an Oracle web based planning system applying Oracle E-<br />
Business technologies. (Does not require any additional hardware or software<br />
to operate the system.)<br />
ALMS Information Explorer for analysis and reporting using a powerful ‘drilldown’capability<br />
and report wizards.<br />
ALMS access is licensed or plans can be produced using your expert<br />
knowledge. 25 year plans (< 50 items) start at $250.<br />
Asset Performance Tools (Aptools)<br />
Determine an assets whole of life criteria combined with its optimal operational<br />
reliability risk, cost & replacement value.<br />

Software Details - Functionality:<br />
Psychical Asset Management requires a process of workflow; data capture<br />
and analysis to enable strategic/best practice Asset Management decisions.<br />
Using Aptools to assist this process will enable engineers to determine To t a l<br />
Business Impact based upon fact<br />
Determine Life Cycle costing; calculate true optimum equipment life based<br />
on total business impact expenditures, performance & risk exposure.<br />
• Evaluate the correct time to replace or upgrade an ageing asset.<br />
• Calculate the business impact of Not replacing at the optimal time.<br />
Optimise Shuts & Inspection Schedules; select the right equipment, correct<br />
work scope for inspection & maintenance tasks.<br />
• Determine optimal intervals, combine tasks & staffing.<br />
• Investigate alternative work schedules, working practices, & risk exposure.<br />
Maintain Optimal Maintenance levels; determine best preventive intervals<br />
or replacement benefits, risk of alternative maintenance strategies.<br />
• Ensure OH&S compliance, customer impression & other intangibles.<br />
• Reliability modeling determines failure modes & risk pattern consequences.<br />
Risk Based Inspection; calculate the best inspection monitoring intervals,<br />
and quantify economics of inspection methods.<br />
• Which monitoring method is most cost effective.<br />
• Determine the best frequency for testing standards based equipment<br />
or systems.<br />
Manage Projects & Proposals; determine the worst & best case; evaluate<br />
the worth of projects against resources & constraints.<br />
• Evaluate & demonstrate project viability.<br />
• Discover what data is worth collecting & for what reason.<br />
Optimise Spares & Stock; determine correct levels, costs, & risk exposure.<br />
• Reveal impact of over or understocking, central versus distributed options.<br />
• Unavailability consequences, criticality coding, escalation stages.<br />
