Designed as a short, intensive session,
the workshop explores the different levels of asset management awareness
and maturity in organisations today — from initial awareness to more
structured, advanced practices. Participants will gain clarity on their
organisation's current position and identify practical next
steps toward value-driven asset management.
The
role of maintenance and reliability within asset management – Janez Tomažin
Asset
management maturity and capability levels – Martin Kerr
(Convenor of ISO 55001)
Value-based
decision-making considering risk, cost, and performance – Martin Kerr
Training, certification, and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) –Rob Childs (Chair of WPiAM)
Real-world
examples from European industry and infrastructure –
Giel Jurgens (Asset Owner at the Port of Rotterdam).
The workshop is aimed at professionals
in maintenance, reliability, engineering, and asset management, as well as
managers seeking a clear, business-oriented understanding of asset
management without heavy theory or compliance focus.
This session is ideal for organisations looking
to boost asset management awareness, align technical and business teams, and
implement a practical, value-focused approach to asset management.

Railway Asset Maintenance Workshop – Driving Reliability, Efficiency and Sustainability
Thursday, June 25 | 13:00–16:00
This industry-focused workshop, led by Prof. Uday Kumar (EFNMS Railway Maintenance Committee), brings together key stakeholders from the railway sector to explore modern approaches to asset maintenance under increasing operational and environmental challenges.
Railway systems are under growing pressure to improve reliability, availability, and cost efficiency while managing aging infrastructure, increasing traffic demand, and climate-related impacts. At the same time, digital technologies are enabling new opportunities for smarter, data-driven maintenance.
This workshop provides a practical platform for operators, infrastructure managers, service providers, and technology experts to exchange experiences and solutions.
Key topics include:
Railway asset reliability and availability challenges in modern operations
Condition monitoring and data-driven maintenance strategies
Digital twins, AI, and Industrial IoT applications in railway systems
Integration of legacy systems and data quality challenges
Lifecycle cost optimization and decision-making under uncertainty
Case studies from European and Nordic railway systems (e.g. Trafikverket, Talgo)
The session will combine short industry presentations, panel discussions, and open dialogue, focusing on real-world implementation and collaboration opportunities.
This workshop is ideal for professionals involved in railway operations, infrastructure, maintenance, and digital transformation seeking practical insights and industry best practices.

LOTOTO Workshop – Safety, Standards and Practice in Maintenance Operations
Thursday, June 25 | 13:00–16:00
This workshop, led by Jan Teun Koningen (EFNMS EHSEC Committee), focuses on the critical role of Lock-Out Tag-Out (LOTOTO) procedures in ensuring safety during maintenance and operational activities.
LOTOTO is a fundamental safety practice to prevent hasardous energy release, yet its implementation varies widely across industries and organisations. This session provides a structured and practical overview, combining standards, real-world applications, and human factors.
The workshop brings together experts in safety, standardisation, and industrial practice to provide a comprehensive perspective—from regulatory frameworks to on-site implementation.
Key topics include:
The role of LOTOTO within maintenance and asset management
Overview of European standards and regulatory frameworks (EN standards)
Historical evolution and alignment with international safety practices
Behavioral and organizational aspects of LOTOTO implementation
Digitalization and future trends in safety procedures
Practical demonstration and case examples (including LOTOTO board/demo)
The workshop combines expert presentations, interactive discussion, and practical examples to support knowledge exchange and best practice sharing.
This session is ideal for professionals in maintenance, safety, operations, and engineering who are responsible for ensuring safe working conditions and improving safety culture in industrial environments.
