INTELLIGENT DIGITAL TWINS AND AUGMENTED REALITY IN INSPECTIONS & MAINTENANCE OMV, New Zealand’s biggest gas producer, set about simplifying, semi-automating and implementing an interactive environment of digital twins through Augmented Reality (AR+). The goal was to improve decision-making, enhance performance, increase productivity, optimize efficiencies in Inspections and Maintenance. Not only did they manage to achieve this but won the SAP Innovation Award 2021 based on the latest mobile solutions and wearable technologies (Smart Glasses) that they used.

They enhanced their ability to connect to various disparate systems as well as using AI driven augmentation techniques to contextualize and enrich the model with geotags and information. Furthermore, they established API interfaces between various source systems like the CMMS, Inspection Data Management System, Drawing System, Point Cloud Data Sets and Photogrammetry as well as the Process Information System which can be visualized on the Intelligent Digital Twins.

A Mark-Up Tool has been implemented on top of it to support various annotations during the planning and the execution phase. This provides a solid basis for data insights, data driven decision making and performance optimization.

Intelligent Digital Twins is a key enabler for the global scalability and accelerates creating the digital backbone of the company during the digital transformation and powers data driven decision making.

GREAT ASSET MANAGEMENT – MANAGING YOUR ASSETS FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE Masterclass Great asset management is based on an encompassing lifecycle view of our assets. This begins with a decision to invest or replace assets. To make that choice we assess asset designs and use portfolio and project planning to evaluate alternatives. Once the design is approved, we move to build and commissioning, in-service management over the service life, and finally end of life and replacement. Throughout this end-to-end process, data and information for the assets is enriched which produces an evolving representation or digital twin of the asset. While SAP supports all these steps it does not inherently provide an integrated end-to-end set of processes to achieve this. This presentation talks to the full asset lifecycle and solutions that deliver a holistic asset management outcome by building on and extending the functionality that SAP provides.

THE POWER OF AMBITION – THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO SUPERCHARGE THE OUTCOME OF YOUR STRATEGY Masterclass Every day, in every company and organization around the world, leaders are making mission-critical decisions on how they will execute their business strategy. Leaders at non-profit organizations, governmental agencies, Fortune 100 companies and Main Street small businesses all know that every day is an opportunity to make progress or to lose momentum.

It is the choices they make on what to do and what not to do, and how work will get done that will move them and their organizations forward or move them backwards.

And as a result, the pressure is on to make the right decision every single time.

The Ambition Method™ is anchored in behavioral science and decades of observation on organizational performance, and aims to answer this singular question that every leader has asked: HOW DO I GET EVERYONE FOCUSED AND ENERGIZED TO EMBRACE THE STRATEGY AND DELIVERTHE RESULTS? The Ambition Method™ lays out the approach that leaders and their teams can follow to create the results that they desire, to have a positive impact on their organizations, and to build the legacy that all leaders can be proud of.

IMPLEMENTATION OF A USER-CENTRIC FIELD APPLICATION FOR POLE INSPECTIONS TasNetworks owns and operates the electricity network in Tasmania. Work Manager was implemented in 2018 for our entire field work force, covering everything from inspections, maintenance and construction across the distribution, transmission, and telecommunication areas of the business. However, our distribution pole inspection process is a unique work type which has been hampered by Work Manager. Something had to be done!

This presentation will cover the drivers, architecture and demonstrate the newly implemented, user centric application built by Bourne Digital. The architecture consists of a Xamarin application connected via SAP Cloud Platform that replaces the use of Work Manager for pole inspections. As a result, we have developed a significant uplift in user trust of the systems used and a reduction in business risk through better and increased data collection from the field.

CREATING STORIES WITH SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD TO IMPROVE RELIABILITY AND MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES At OJI Fibre, maintenance reporting for planned vs. actual from SAP to capture maintenance KPIs usually means many downloads to excel, links to spreadsheets, formulas and customisations and often results in inconsistent reporting across different sectors of the business. Having separate business units and plants with different ways of doing things has always meant accurate reporting has been problematic and unreliable.

Our objective was to deliver timely reporting on the accuracy of weekly work scheduling and execution. In addition, we wanted to support immediate investigation and isolation of details relevant to areas of concern; provide performance trends over time and nurture a high degree of automation and transparency (low reliance on people input).

We developed business defined KPIs and schedule compliance KPI measures along with supporting analytical capability to assist with understanding of variances and negative trends, enabling action to be taken to address them. Using SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) and then building custom tables and custom extractors we have created a comprehensive and complex structure of SAC stories that are managed in an agile manner. Starting with extracting data from SAP into SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and then taking it into SAC, stories are created to provide the accurate records of maintenance scheduling and execution (e.g., actual hours worked for a snapshot week compared to the planned scheduled hours for that week, break-in work and PM/CM ratio). The reports also measure other KPI’s which are added using a phased and iterative approach.

GOING LIVE WITH STANDARD SAP ASSET MANAGER MOBILE APP As part of the SAP S/4HANA implementation project, Sunwater was looking for a mobile solution to help our field staff manage work orders, raise notifications, complete work instructions, book time and enter readings on measuring points.

The mandate for the project was to go with a standard solution and SAP Asset Manager was selected. This presentation will follow the journey from design through to implementation with a focus on “what we know now that we wish we knew then”. Hear about the challenges faced during implementation and post go-live, and what we did to overcome them. The presentation will also include a live demo of Asset Manager: •

COLLABORATIVE MAINTENANCE: SHARE YOUR WORK ORDERS WITH SERVICE PARTNERS AND OTHER NETWORK PARTICIPANTS The SAP Business Network digitizes and automates collaboration between trading partners. One of the key use cases is Collaborative Maintenance. In the last year, SAP with the help customers in ANZ, APJ, and around the world, has released a Collaborative Work Order that enables Work Orders from ERP to be shared with service partners or other network participants via the SAP Business Network.

It combines the Statement of Work and Contractor view from SAP Fieldglass along with the rich Equipment, Notification, and documentation capabilities of SAP Asset Intelligence Network. This Collaborative Work Order enables Asset Owners, Maintenance & Procurement Departments along with their Service Provider to plan the perfect job without needing to build point integration or to rely on a manual PDF or email processes.

LIVE MAINTENANCE KPI REPORTING IN SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD (SAC) Like most organisations, we have a set of reports for our maintenance processes to measure how maintenance is performing. In our old world, data for Maintenance KPI’s were extracted monthly from SAP and manipulated in Excel to create these reports. The Excel reports used a lot of complex formulas; were slow to run and generate calculations. Sometimes there were errors in these reports.

They were inconsistent and manipulated. The information was a snapshot in time, out of date and always looking at the past when presented. The process of generating the reports took around four days per month.

We have now developed reports in SAC based on the manually generated reports from excel with instant, live reports. These are quick to run, deliver current information that is both past and future looking. We now provide summarised results for managers to detailed information for the planners and the work team. And best of all, I get 4 days back and can focus on higher value actions.

Join me as I share our story of how we did it, what is required, the challenges you might face and why we would never go back.

WALK THIS WAY – OPERATOR LED INSPECTION ROUNDS AND MOBILITY After auditing our maintenance performance, we found that we needed a wholistic approach to asset management (Operator + Maintainer + Technician). Success for us meant no gaps and no overlaps, improved operator ownership of the plant and freed up trades to do more corrective maintenance work.

We decided to create standard templates for common types of assets and put them into a mobility solution Together with Innovapptive, we co-innovated their new Inspection Rounds module to meet our business needs. Our requirements included both online and offline capability; auto-scheduling of inspection rounds; collection of data and uploading to SAP; linking operator findings to SAP Notification process; exception reporting of defects – and it needed to be easy and safe to use in a manufacturing environment. We engaged our Engineers to work with the operators to create rounds that: • • •

Aligned with sensible plant walkdowns and the checks associated with assets contained within the route are loaded into the route checklist The Routes are tested to ensure that they are achievable, and that the workload of each Route is reasonably balanced The confirmed routes and associated checklists are loaded into Software which will display the route and checks on a mobile device (Tablet).

The outcome is that our operators now successfully use the tablets to input inspection data as they move through the route and can raise notifications directly on the tablet if an issue is identified which requires maintenance follow-up.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN THE MAINTENANCE SPACE Artificial Intelligence is upending how people work and for many tasks is replacing them entirely, and in unexpected ways for the reliability and maintenance professional.

Today AI offers incremental benefits in how data is interpreted and analysed and how work is planned and scheduled. Where are these trends headed?

From an SAP perspective, AI is foundational to our vision for Intelligent Asset Management. This presentation will show the evolution of AI and its application in maintenance: 1) Data and Algorithms 2) Machine Learning: Anomaly Detection and Prediction 3) Deep Learning and Neural Networks 4) What elements of AI are available in SAP today 5) What is possible with the available AI tools today 6) How AI can move from advisory AI, to directing AI, to controlling AI and 7) Putting Intelligence into Intelligent Asset Management.

This presentation will be at a level that is accessible to anyone with a maintenance or reliability background and who is a user of a smart phone. Terms and concepts in the Industry 4.0 lexicon will be covered. New and emerging tasks and roles will be introduced as they pertain to reliability and maintenance professionals. Implications and benefits for operational efficiency and labor productivity will be touched on.

AI is here and it is useful, it is getting smarter and will change what tasks you do and how you do them.

THE WHY OF ASSET PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT Masterclass The “Why” of anything we tackle is critically important to understand. Understanding drives passion and motivation two emotions which cannot be garnered without first identifying the “Why”. A quote which articulates this quite well is:

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”

—Antoine de Saint-Exupery Imagine if our people’s passion was the eradication of defects in equipment, people, process and data then asset performance management would truly be what we all wish it was. This master class will layout a roadmap to reach asset performance management. We will talk about definitions, data sets, process flows and tools. Participants will come away with a broader more interconnected view of the elements of asset performance management and what a plan could be to drive change in their organization.

DRIVING REAL CHANGE WITH FIORI: MEASURING MAINTENANCE PERFORMANCE BY HAVING EVERYONE ON THE SAME PAGE Masterclass SAP S/4 HANA is a big step for most businesses but how many are truly using the power of HANA? Post implementation at AGL, aligning to a standard maintenance process and driving change was very challenging. Each site was measuring maintenance performance differently as well as using many different tools.

Over the past 18 Months AGL has been on a journey with the site people delivering a pipeline of improvements in S/4 HANA. Among these improvements are suite of SAP Fiori UI5 real-time embedded analytic apps that measure maintenance performance as well as other common metrics in EAM. This session will show how we achieved a common set of apps to aligned maintenance performance across all AGL sites as well as technical steps on how we utilised the EAM data in S/4 HANA to build these Fiori apps.

MANAGING CONTRACTORS – MAINTENANCE ORDERS TO PAYMENT We have a lot of contractors who are on our site. Almost half the maintenance workforce at Australia’s largest coal fired power station are what we would call embedded contractors. And we have always battled with providing safe access to these contractors to our system. We needed to provide them an easy way to manage maintenance work assigned to them, book their time, and facilitate payment. We battled with the audit problem too – they essentially had too much access and could see other contractor’s commercials, providing them an unfair advantage at the next quoting event. There had to be a better way then the old paper and phone quote.

Using SAP S4/Hana (mostly on Web GUI) and a combination of enhancements and work center trickery we have provided them a way to see only their commercials at contract level and service line; We have provided a way for them to log their own time which is routed for approval to an Origin Energy person and which in turn creates a service entry sheet against a framework order (a periodic PO) and results in them getting paid.

Our system needs refining and small improvement but we almost entirely there, having solved an age old contractor management issue and creating great efficiency. Of course, this is for vendors who have access to and operate within the boundaries of our system.

Come listen to Rob Whitehead, ERP Asset Management Project Energy Markets Lead at Origin Energy share how they have solved this issue which until now has It prevented them and many other organisations giving contractors access and an unfettered view under the hood.

RISK MITIGATION BY RAPID-APP DEVELOPMENT Covid-19 has brought new and unexpected complexity to managing critical assets and facilities. Personnel tasked with running the day to day operations of essential plants and facilities are facing greater risk than ever before. As it stands, mitigating this new risk is costly and timely for SAP customers without rapid-app development capability.

New Zealand’s Defence Force has an exemplary story to share with the SAP community around how it has leveraged its existing rapid app development platform, based on SAP-Certified partner technology currently used for inventory and armoury asset management, to develop its Covid-19 tracker app. As the Government Department charged with managing New Zealand’s MIQ Centres to keep all New Zealanders safe in what’s now seen as the leading national response to Covid-19 globally, the stakes in this technology couldn’t be higher. And yet, it cost them next to nothing to stand up.

Join this one-time session with the New Zealand Defence Force to learn how the Neptune Software powered mobile personnel tracking app is integrating with its SAP back-end and being used for managing all MIQ Covid-19 personnel.

AVOIDING PILOT PURGATORY: HOW TO TRANSLATE A “DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION” INTO A SUCCESSFUL REAL-WORLD IMPLEMENTATION Masterclass It’s widely accepted that digitisation is a major contributor to multiple facets of busines performance. This is especially true of work order management in asset-intensive industries, with productivity 10-30 percent higher where digital asset management processes exist. But while the gap in performance between those that have more mature maintenance processes and those that have not continues to widen, research demonstrates that 7/10 digital asset management projects don’t progress past a Proof of Concept stage.

Director of Customer Success, Vikesh Dayaram has twenty years of international experience implementing major digital transformation projects in mining, energy and utilities. In this masterclass, Vikesh will share the common factors for a successful digital transformation, in addition to ways tips on managing roadblocks and avoiding failures – including pilot purgatory. In this thought-provoking workshop, attendees will gain practical tips and compelling industry research that will improve their chances of a successful digital asset management initiative.

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE IN 90 SECONDS Often the incredible, audacious goals we set for ourselves – those amazing opportunities we flirt with – begin as an exciting spark of inspiration that provides an immediate rush of adrenalin. But then real life snaps us back to reality and we put that big idea on permanent hold because…well, because it is just too big, too hard, and too massive to possibly execute.

But maybe we have been doing it all wrong? Maybe we are biting off way too much and then disappointing ourselves when we don’t meet our big hairy audacious goal within 3 weeks? Maybe, instead of going all audacious, we need to start with one small step and then add another small step and then another and another until all of a sudden we realise that we have actually climbed that mountain we thought was impossible to climb. Maybe, instead of focussing on the big picture, we should be focussing on the 90 second ‘moments’ of time that simply require us to exert enough power to open a new door?

Every monumental change in your life starts with one small step – called a ‘MOMENT’. Focusing on and embracing every MOMENT creates MOMENTum, and once you have MOMENTum, you can literally change your life.

THE POWER OF THE MADE-UP MIND

And what I learnt cycling through every country in Africa

On the 30th June 2013, after selling everything he owned, 20kg overweight, alone and unaided, and with no ‘adventure’ experience, Ron Rutland left Cape Town Stadium on his bicycle to fulfil a lifelong dream and embark on a world first…a single continuous journey through every country on mainland Africa.

42,000km, 841 days, and 75 countries later, Ron arrived in Brighton, UK on the 17th Sept 2015.

The decision to embark on that first adventure changed the course of Ron’s life forever, and he has since then become a full time ‘working adventurer’, and when not cycling around the world or trekking across countries, he’s inevitably working on plans do just that!

In his uniquely self-deprecating and humorous manner, Ron has inspired and motivated audiences around the world, with his tales from the road, and what it took for the most ordinary and unlikely person to achieve something quite extraordinary. Drawing on his experiences from some of the most inhospitable environments on the planet, Ron shares the tangible ‘real life’ lessons he learnt chasing, and ultimately reaching, the most audacious goal imaginable. Some key lessons shared: 1. Proper planning, and being adaptable 2. Cut the clutter – the power of focus 3. Assuming the best in people (you’ll probably be right) 4. Just make the decision and start

THE POWER OF AMBITION – THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO SUPERCHARGE THE OUTCOME OF YOUR STRATEGY Masterclass Every day, in every company and organization around the world, leaders are making mission-critical decisions on how they will execute their business strategy. Leaders at non-profit organizations, governmental agencies, Fortune 100 companies and Main Street small businesses all know that every day is an opportunity to make progress or to lose momentum.

It is the choices they make on what to do and what not to do, and how work will get done that will move them and their organizations forward or move them backwards.

And as a result, the pressure is on to make the right decision every single time.

The Ambition Method™ is anchored in behavioral science and decades of observation on organizational performance, and aims to answer this singular question that every leader has asked: HOW DO I GET EVERYONE FOCUSED AND ENERGIZED TO EMBRACE THE STRATEGY AND DELIVERTHE RESULTS? The Ambition Method™ lays out the approach that leaders and their teams can follow to create the results that they desire, to have a positive impact on their organizations, and to build the legacy that all leaders can be proud of.

OPTIMISING THE DIGITAL SUPPLY CHAIN USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) - SAP CUSTOMER CASE STUDIES According to Gartner at least 50% of large global companies will be using AI, advanced analytics and IoT in supply chain operations by 2023. With COVID-19 disrupting supply chain operations around the world, companies need to have greater insights and visibility of materials, stocks and how they can utilise technology to automate manual and tedious process.

Nick will present customer case studies on how we can improve visibility and productivity in our customers supply chain using IoT and AI to improve current business operations.

GREENFIELD SAP S/4HANA PROJECT DELIVERS A COMBINATION OF LEAN & EXTENDED WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT (EWM) WAREHOUSING Our organization is a medical device distributor of mostly surgical implants and instruments. Turnaround time to hospitals is time critical and this means that having the stock easily accessible and being able to rely on our stock on hand numbers is pivotal. Our aged legacy systems weren’t fully integrated to our vertical storage solution, nor did they support cycle counting, stock transfer orders or 2 stage put away. Instead, we were reliant on annual stock take processes that froze systems for 4 days and then reconciliation processes which took weeks to several months to reconcile.

Our EWM implementation enabled a hub and spoke model from our national distribution center, with Lean warehousing in 6 satellite warehouses across ANZ. In addition to EWM, we integrated our Kardex solution giving us better visibility of inventories in bin locations and developed customized Fiori style apps for efficiency with scanner guns. The result of this work was: • • • •

With increased inventory accuracy, MRP is utilised for the automation of replenishment requests and in automatic creation of stock transfer orders now more visible and accurate Regular cycle counting & standard 2 stage put away functionalities now being leveraged Increased visibility within S4 of stock on hand down to bin level within vertical storage solution, Kardex Bulk of warehouse tasks are managed via the scanner guns, alleviating the need to manage tasks on a desktop separate from the physical workflow in the warehouse

HOW AN SAP BLOCKCHAIN-ENABLED SOLUTION IS DRIVING VISIBILITY ALONG THE PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLY CHAIN IN ASIA Zuellig Pharma, Asia’s leading healthcare services provider set out to develop the first Blockchain hosted drug traceability application in Asia named eZTracker in 2018. The work leveraged SAP enabled blockchain to ensure the efficacy of their products along the supply chain. Starting by capturing data about a drug on to the blockchain from the drug manufacturer once a product reaches Zuellig Pharma’s warehouse, and then tracking sensor data right through to the drug being shipped to consumers, hospitals, and drug stores.

Fast forward to 2021 and a handful of innovation awards under its belt, the business is really seeing the value of this work and its evolution. Achieving technology driven assurance of transportation temperature conditions of their goods, helping with custom clearance, offering end to end network visibility and facilitating payments and transactions via an open platform that the business can collaborate on.

Daniel will also speak to the opportunities of using this data to achieve smarter supply chain decision making – including auto replenishment that leverages AI to predict reorder and how external influences might disrupt their supply chain, such as environmental conditions or civil disruptions.

CHASING ZERO: CREATING POSITIVE ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND SOCIAL IMPACT WITH SAP SUSTAINABILITY Climate action is top of mind for many companies. Companies that want to safeguard their “license to operate” need to manage carbon and other environmental compliance; in the absence of which they face escalating risks in areas such as investment returns, regulatory compliance, market competitiveness and brand reputation. The pressure to reduce emissions is coming from all directions – investors, customers and regulators. But how can leaders safeguard earnings without emissions transparency? How can they show competitiveness if no benchmarks exist? And how can they steer the right action in the face of such uncertainty?

INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLANNING (IBP) FOR INCREASED FORECAST ACCURACY AND SUPPLY CHAIN VISIBILITY Carlton United Breweries (CUB) started a journey with a desired result and a specific path in mind – enable new capabilities, improve forecast accuracy, and improve service levels making use of SAP APO under AB InBev. However, during this journey the team had to change paths as CUB was sold to Asahi. Not only did we have to deal with a demerger, but ultimately changing technology to SAP IBP. We have now successfully deployed SAP IBP Demand Planning which enabled the business to plan effectively across approximately a 1000 finished products, to 1300 planning customers across 40 distribution centers.

After a successful go live, we’ve also added more functionality as the business became more comfortable with the solution and the capabilities that it provides. To date we have: • • • • • •

Expanded the reporting capabilities Increased forecast accuracy Enabled end-to-end visibility of forecast changes to our P&L More granular data visibility allowing better decision making Improved employee engagement Various new capabilities that was previously not possible

COCA COLA EUROPEAN PARTNERS (CCEP) AND SAP CO-INNOVATE TO DEVELOP WORLD’S FIRST TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONALITY CCEP’s operate a transport network utilising in excess of over 500 trucks each day to supply products to our customers. A large portion of this is our deliveries to our “Route” customers, such as small stores; snack bars; bakeries etc. Our network scale and complexity, together with increasing customer and regulatory demands are driving a need for improved management systems to give greater visibility of our Chain of Responsibility (COR) compliance, and to unlock productivity and cost reduction opportunities across our Logistics network. The proposed CCEP TMS will deliver a centralised ‘Control Tower’ capability to allow an integrated approach to logistics management covering transport efficiency, execution, and monitoring. By Co-Innovating with SAP we were able to develop the functionality needed, which did not exist in the market place. This included, being able to plan the building of pallets, through to safely loading onto the truck and finding the most efficient route to the customer.

SHELL’S WAREHOUSE DIGITISATION PROJECT Shell operates hydrocarbon and renewable energy assets in over 70 countries globally. Maximising the performance of these capitalintensive assets requires a complex, global supply chain to ensure a vast range of equipment and spare parts are available to maintenance technicians in the right place, at the right time and in the right condition. In recent years, Shell’s Connected Worker Program has focused on deploying new technology to improve the end-to-end supply chain for maintenance, repairs and operations (MRO). A key part of this program was to improve the operational performance across a global network of 200 MRO warehouses, which, despite operating on SAP, were largely dependent on paper-based processes for material receipt, storage, and dispatch to assets.

There was a big opportunity to increase inventory accuracy with real-time SAP updates, improve warehouse productivity by enabling the frontline and reduce working capital tied up in inventory. After a competitive evaluation, Shell selected Innovapptive’s Inventory mobile solution integrated with SAP as the way to digitise existing manual warehouse processes. This presentation will provide practical, in-depth insights on their journey, including the following: • • • • • •

Scope and scale of Shell’s MRO operations Key evaluation criteria used to select the right solution How to organise a global rollout program Importance to Shell of deploying a market standard solution that could be adopted globally Lessons learned from the project Actual benefits achieved

INTEGRATED BUSINESS PLANNING (IBP) OPTIMIZER IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH AT ICONIC JAPANESE COMPANY Shiseido is one of the world largest beauty companies with $11 Billion in sales and 39 000 employees. IBP Optimizer is a complex system with calculations far more advanced than anything they could manually achieve. In order to align Optimizer’s results with their supply chain, Shiseido needed the ability to test scenarios and control system outputs.

The approach was to introduce “Light” Optimizer first, so as to understand and adjust the system while still taking advantage of its functionalities and capabilities. The decision to solely implement IBP for contract manufacturing gave Shiseido a manageable scope of parameters to adjust and the opportunity to focus on master data governance within the system. Through different adjustments, trials, and testing, they are now more prepared and capable to utilize Optimizer fully and properly for internal manufacturing.

TRANSFORMING THE MRO VALUE CHAIN THROUGH DIGITAL INTEGRATION OF MAINTENANCE AND WAREHOUSING Masterclass Maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) value chains tend to be quite complex, spanning the globe far and wide, and, as a result, creating ample opportunity for things to go wrong. What’s more, companies often experience challenges on the home-front with maintenance and supply chain organisations operating in silos, caused by missing or weak ERP support for MRO processes like kitting, returns and rentals. Evidently, despite significant investment in ERP systems and the factors mentioned, many organisations continue to operate on inefficient, paper-based processes that lead to low visibility across the value chain and misalignment between their system and actual operations.

Join this interactive masterclass as we take a comprehensive look at opportunities to improve maintenance planning, execution and warehouse operations through integration, including important process touch points across the value chain. Key topics are as follows: • • • •

A review of common challenges in the MRO value chain Deeper look into the business implications of poor integration An interactive discussion with maintenance and industry experts A demo of best practice technology proven to improve the MRO value chain

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE IN 90 SECONDS Often the incredible, audacious goals we set for ourselves – those amazing opportunities we flirt with – begin as an exciting spark of inspiration that provides an immediate rush of adrenalin. But then real life snaps us back to reality and we put that big idea on permanent hold because…well, because it is just too big, too hard, and too massive to possibly execute.

But maybe we have been doing it all wrong? Maybe we are biting off way too much and then disappointing ourselves when we don’t meet our big hairy audacious goal within 3 weeks? Maybe, instead of going all audacious, we need to start with one small step and then add another small step and then another and another until all of a sudden we realise that we have actually climbed that mountain we thought was impossible to climb. Maybe, instead of focussing on the big picture, we should be focussing on the 90 second ‘moments’ of time that simply require us to exert enough power to open a new door?

Every monumental change in your life starts with one small step – called a ‘MOMENT’. Focusing on and embracing every MOMENT creates MOMENTum, and once you have MOMENTum, you can literally change your life.

THE POWER OF THE MADE-UP MIND

And what I learnt cycling through every country in Africa

On the 30th June 2013, after selling everything he owned, 20kg overweight, alone and unaided, and with no ‘adventure’ experience, Ron Rutland left Cape Town Stadium on his bicycle to fulfil a lifelong dream and embark on a world first…a single continuous journey through every country on mainland Africa.

42,000km, 841 days, and 75 countries later, Ron arrived in Brighton, UK on the 17th Sept 2015.

The decision to embark on that first adventure changed the course of Ron’s life forever, and he has since then become a full time ‘working adventurer’, and when not cycling around the world or trekking across countries, he’s inevitably working on plans do just that!

In his uniquely self-deprecating and humorous manner, Ron has inspired and motivated audiences around the world, with his tales from the road, and what it took for the most ordinary and unlikely person to achieve something quite extraordinary. Drawing on his experiences from some of the most inhospitable environments on the planet, Ron shares the tangible ‘real life’ lessons he learnt chasing, and ultimately reaching, the most audacious goal imaginable. Some key lessons shared: 1. Proper planning, and being adaptable 2. Cut the clutter – the power of focus 3. Assuming the best in people (you’ll probably be right) 4. Just make the decision and start
