Title:

Mobile Collaboration Technology in Engineering Asset Maintenance – What Technology, Organisation and People Approaches are required?

Abstract:

Currently, doing maintenance has significantly altered due to changes in equipment design, information and communication technology, cost pressures and customer acceptance of risk and failures. Moreover, current working circumstances are more complex and require parallel multiple actions. An integrated high-level maintenance comprising multiple sub-systems requires the collaboration of many stakeholders including multiple systems and departments. The emerging mobile technologies are rapidly developing viewed as business enablers, and they have the impact, use and penetration of the marketplace to support asset maintenance practices. Mobile technology can maintain collaborative information sharing and provides a number of benefits to an organization such as working collaboratively or separately. Currently, several of specialised technical, operational and administrative systems have been invested by engineering asset organisations to enhancing their asset management and maintenance systems, however most experts agree that successful of such systems is less than 30%. The main reasons for unsuccessfully implementation is there is no common ground among engineering asset organisations about what are maintenance as well as collaborative maintenance systems are required. There are four key concepts that are essential when working collaboratively, but little though has been published related to the mobile collaborative asset maintenance requirements. The lack of systematic approach, together with the lack of specific requirements to implement mobile collaborative maintenance requests a comprehensive framework for guiding engineering organisation to implement of new mobile technologies. This research proposes to develop a framework to guide the preparation of adoption/implementation of new mobile technologies in facilitating asset maintenance collaboration based on Delphi and Case Study investigation.
