CIEAM is developing a world class research and development capability in the field of integrated engineering asset management. In this, our commitment is:

• the optimisation of asset management systems for industry, including:
  • defence
  • utilities
  • transportation
  • process
• seeking out and developing innovative technologies, processes and programmes
• enhancing infrastructure cost effectiveness, productivity and longevity
• building Australian capability in research, postgraduate education, and training and service provision.

Read CIEAM's Vision and Mission.

As a CRC, CIEAM's research is focussed on addressing real asset management problems faced by today's industry. We work in direct partnership with our participants, helping them leverage their R+D investment, and delivering valuable outcomes for their businesses.

CIEAM's work involves leading academic and industry researchers around the country, collaborating to develop a range of solutions that will help industry better manage their assets for the whole of their operating lives through the more accurate capture and use of data, minimising the need for expert human intervention and optimising asset availability and performance.

Current CIEAM research work includes the development of:

• analytical and visualisation models for asset management decision support processes from operational to corporate levels
• training materials for award courses as well as professional and technical in-service training
• sensor networks to improve failure detection, material corrosion and tracking of reliability and environmental risks
• methods for assessing data quality and complementary management practices to improve data collection and error checking
• practical procedural models, tools and protocols for optimal human performance and critical occupational health and safety issues
• tools and standards for data exchange between technical and management information systems.

Vision

Become a recognised global leader in engineering asset management research, education and commercialisation, developing practical, integrated solutions to real-world challenges, that maximise the safety, performance and global competitiveness of Australian industry.

Mission

Develop leading edge technologies in key areas of physical asset management and implement them in an environment that is both vertically and horizontally integrated; establish world's best practices in the field and implement them nationally, increasing efficiency and cost benefits for industry, and positioning the Australian asset management service industry to compete on an international scale.

What is integrated engineering asset management?

Integrated Asset Management and more specifically, integrated engineering asset management is a systematic, structured process covering the whole life of physical assets whereby the underlying assumption is that assets exist to support the organisation's delivery strategies, and requires a certain level of management insight and expertise from diverse organisational disciplines.
