Program And Project Management

Australia is transitioning to become an energy superpower—the $43 billion Gorgon LNG project and the other comparably sized projects lining up behind the Gorgon project confirm this. There are predictions that around $80 billion of CAPEX on LNG projects will be approved for expenditure for the 2010 financial year with much more to be invested in the following years. And, we are on the cusp of further coal seam gas developments in Queensland, which could see annual production rise from 130 to more than 3,000 petajoules per annum once the infrastructure is in place. What are the skills needed to realise the true potential of these investments? An appropriate asset management plan is key. Asset management is more than the provision of maintenance services—it is about developing a systematic approach to managing an asset during its life and achieving the outputs required by the owner of the asset. Program and project management of brownfield capital works, maintenance services and infrastructure projects are also essential technical capabilities to help meet the demand of the burgeoning LNG and coal seam gas industries. These skills will determine who can deliver on schedule, or ahead of it. The other key capability will be mobilising, managing and retaining people. There is speculation that the Queensland coal seam gas industry alone will generate approximately 12,000 jobs. The industry needs to be prepared to be innovative in engaging, training and upskilling people. As the only true global resources and industrial provider in Australia, Transfield Services will share its key learnings on effectively managing assets, projects and people from its work with clients including Canada’s largest energy company, Suncor Energy.

The Enterprise Asset Management Association (EAM Association) is pleased to announce the completion of the second book of the two-part edition on the methodology for managing equipment failures. While the first part dealt with the issues of investigation and accounting, the second, being its logical continuation, offers theoretical understanding and practical tools for the analysis and prevention of failures. Here are a few words from the authors of the book. Sidorov V.A.: «I have devoted several years of my working life directly to the investigation of equipment failures, automation of their accounting and standardization of analysis procedures, as well as to production training, including in the framework of improvement measures implementation. And now I will be happy to share my knowledge and experience with you, colleagues!» Sidorov A.V.: «It is important for everyone who, due to their professional activity, is faced with equipment failures not only to know, but also to understand what, how, in what sequence occurred and what to do about it. This is exactly what this manual is about.» Consideration of these issues in the book is based on a comprehensive vision of the process of managing production assets and a systematic approach and is accompanied by a wide illustrative material, a description of practical methods and tools that are recommended for implementation in the conditions of industrial enterprises. Cases from the authors' experience are provided to ensure the best understanding and assimilation of the equipment failure management methodology as an important element of the enterprise asset management system.

Students with persistent reading difficulties are often especially challenged by multisyllabic words; they tend to have neither a systematic approach for reading these words nor the confidence to persevere (Archer, Gleason, & Vachon, 2003; Carlisle & Katz, 2006; Moats, 1998). This challenge is magnified by the fact that the vast majority of English words are multisyllabic and constitute an increasingly large proportion of the words in elementary school texts beginning as early as grade 3 (Hiebert, Martin, & Menon, 2005; Kerns et al., 2016). Multisyllabic words are more difficult to read simply because they are long, posing challenges for working memory capacity. In addition, syllable boundaries, word stress, vowel pronunciation ambiguities, less predictable grapheme-phoneme correspondences, and morphological complexity all contribute to long words' difficulty. Research suggests that explicit instruction in both syllabification and morphological knowledge improve poor readers' multisyllabic word reading accuracy; several examples of instructional programs involving one or both of these elements are provided.
