Australasian Maintenance Excellence Awards

 

The Australasian Maintenance Excellence Awards consider seven categories and related criteria:

  • Leadership
  • People
  • Planning and Scheduling
  • Maintenance Procedures and Practices
  • Reliability Improvement
  • Resource Management
  • Business Performance

By using these criteria, enterprises will be able to evaluate their capabilities of managing maintenance and its contribution to the business.Through the Australian Maintenance Excellence Awards the IMRt seeks to provide a high quality process which acknowledges maintenance excellence, supports continuous improvement in the maintenance function, focusing on people, practices and the business impact of maintenance excellence.A companion set of Australian Maintenance Excellence Awards material may be downloaded from this site which includes:

  • Resource BookletCriteria and Applications Guidelines
  • Evaluation Team Booklet

The Self-Assessment Booklet is closely linked with the Resource Booklet. They are both more detailed than the Criteria and Applications Guidelines material. While covering the same categories and criteria the Criteria and Applications Guidelines material includes more general and broader questions and is intended to provide an opportunity for a more adaptive approach for Award assessment purposes.
