At time of writing we are regularly publishing articles and papers for a range of trade publications throughout the world.
Including:
Plant Services.com - where we publish regular monthly columns on Effective Asset Maintenance.
Reliability Web.com - where we publish articles, papers and information pieces on an irregular basis. We are working with ReliabilityWeb to see if there can be a regular column produced for this site also.
Utility Week - The reigning utility industry information source for managers, Directors and senior asset engineering staff in particular. We have contributed the lead piece for UW on their October Asset Management issue, as well as regular contributions to their smaller magazine Utility Engineering.
Maintenance and Asset Management Journal - A UK based publication for the maintenance and asset management communities, where we publish from time to time articles, interest pieces and other information.
Other news:
In other news I have recently been appointed by the steering committee of UK Water Industry Research Limited as an international peer reviewer for their ongoing project
"Capital Maintenance Assessment Process RG/05/A-214". This project is focused on producing an assessment framework for evaluating asset management plans in the submission process of 2009, and has implications for the future of the UK water industry.
This is a great honor for me personally and I hope to be able to add significant value to the process and ultimate outcome of this important project.
A New Book:
I have recently reached agreement with my publisher Industrial Press to produce a second book for them. My first book for this publisher was The Maintenance Scorecard which has enjoyed moderate success as a guide to implementing balanced scorecard style programs into asset intensive industries.
The second book is tentatively titled Asset Resource Planning: lean strategies for efficient asset maintenance. I am very exited about this book and we are planning for it to be published in April of next year. Another great honor for me to be working with this publisher again and I look forward to continuing to work with them for many more years to come.
Speaking Engagements:
After many years of trying I will finally be speaking at one of the many asset management conferences that occur during the year. RCM-2007, run by Reliability Web.com is the premier event globally for reliability practitioners, particularly those engaged in the development and implementation of asset maintenance regimes. I will be delivering a keynote on Thursday or Friday morning (I don't recall at present) called "Beyond RCM" a look at shaking up some of the paradigms and thinking that we have traditionally associated with implementing and "selling" RCM services.
I will also be presenting a half-day seminar at the concurrent conference EAM-2007 on implementing CMMS systems. I am looking forward to this event as I began my career working with EAM and CMMS systems and I particularly enjoy this theme.
I have known Terry for many years now but have never had the chance to meet him personally. I am grateful for this opportunity and appreciate his continuing commitment to the growth of the managerial discipline of asset management.
I have been chosen to present at the annual British Institute of Facilities Management conference to be held in Keble College, Oxford, UK in march of 2007. This is a very prestigious event of which it is quite an honor to be accepted as a speaker. (Similar to the RCM-2007 event) I will be presenting a piece on 4the generation asset management concepts, and how these are able to assist facilities managers to add value to their physical asset base.
Some other conferences of which I am regularly in contact with, but are yet to be confirmed for 2007, include:
- Fleet Reliability Conference - Held each year in London, I have spoken there for two years running.
- defense Asset Management - Held each year in London, I have spoken at this conference for the last three years and enjoy it thoroughly.
I wish you all the very best for Christmas of 2006, I hope the festive season is as joyous for all of you as I am planning for my own family, and I wish you all the very best for a prosperous and happy 2007.
Best regards,
Daryl Mather
I'm trying to finish college at MSU and wanted to make a couple of extra bucks. I got scammed quite a few times, but found something that actually makes me about $200 bucks a month now. I know it isn't much, but at least it is legit. You can check it out and I hope it helps you out too.
