This unit provides an introduction to asset management within an organisation. You will evaluate organisational structure that supports asset maintenance and management. You will compare different asset management principles and work processes to develop a rudimentary organisational structure that meets the regulatory requirements for asset maintenance and management. You will also research and evaluate changes in organisation’s asset management principles driven by market trends, the industry and regulatory environment including contracting strategies.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from Have your say

The slides were a very high standard of presentation although some student did themselves lost in subject material at times.

Keep the PowerPoint presentations at high standard and relevant. Students are encouraged to connect with the lecturer and tap into other resources, but we’ll also keep a closer eye on their Moodle engagement to proactively spot and address any issues.

Feedback from Have your say

Unit is achievable but difficult for students that aren't employed directly in the mining/process industry with complex structures.

Alongside the existing weekly materials covering various industries, the teaching team will keep sourcing and sharing case studies from different sectors, bringing in examples that resonate with the student group for class discussions.

Great subject, overall satisfied with the learnings and look forward to using the knowledge in the field. Very appreciative of the effort to bring in speakers from different industries, really found this valuable. also, very appreciative of the subject understanding students work life and moving assignment 3 to the Monday. For entire course feedback, all assignments should be due on Mondays due to students working full time.

The teaching team will keep bringing in industry guest speakers and take students’ workloads into account when planning assessment deadlines. We’ll also continue tracking how well these changes (assessment scheduling and the use of diverse case studies) are working in future terms. These points and their impact on students’ experience and learning outcomes will be reviewed in the next AUER cycle.
