Complex asset management for Powerlink
This work was supported by our industry partner Powerlink.
Context
The project involved development of a process architecture of critical maintenance and renewal decisions for its assets. A process architecture provided an overview of the key processes, data, personnel, and other governance mechanisms involved in making decision related to critical assets. This understanding enabled the organisation to gain an assessment of the current situation and identify potential areas of improvement for the future. The improvements are expected to result in efficient, standardised decision-making process for critical assets at Powerlink. BPMN and DMN languages were used to develop a detailed process architecture for the organisation.
The aim of the project was to develop a process architecture and process models to capture the complex engineering asset management (EAM) processes for transmission line assets at Powerlink. The control flow, resources, and data perspective had to be captured.

Project Outcomes
A process architecture and a detailed process model capturing complex EAM processes for transmission line assets was developed, using BPMN and DMN. The architecture and process model was validated by all key stakeholders.
