2024 Schedule

Managing seaway assets in a sustainable manner requires an asset management system. Traditional maintenance, reliability, and engineering practices in silos are not good enough. We need a management system that will go beyond just great maintenance, great reliability, and great engineering. We need a management system that will bring the operations and maintenance pieces together with the infrastructure, finance, IT, and HR pieces. We need a management system with an overarching framework and governance structure that will support value-based investment decisions. We need a management system that will allow the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corp. (SLSMC) to maximize value from its assets and infrastructure for sustainable seaway service delivery. Finally, we need to build a culture that will sustain our effort over many years. As an organization, we have been doing asset management for years and have been adopting and implementing good industry practices. However, to maintain best-in-class asset management practices and to evolve within the industry, we are committed to aligning with ISO 55001. This presentation will outline the approach SLSMC has adopted known as the Asset Management Eco-System (AMES). This is a comprehensive system that aims to manage assets in a holistic way by encompassing all the functional groups of the organization.
