The MAINSTREAM research team surveyed our WA community of hundreds of Maintenance and Reliability professionals to glean distinctive insights into challenges faced, and the opportunities on offer, in their quest for achieving asset management excellence. These hot topics drive an agenda designed to help leaders and teams understand best practices, compare their companies’ performance and working environment to those inside and outside their industry, and make informed and effective decisions.

The 2025 State of Asset Management survey results are in.

This 38-page report captures insights from Maintenance & Reliability leaders across West Australia, representing a range of industries and asset management maturity.

Insights leading the way are:

• Asset Data Management and Utilisation
• The Impact of Decarbonisation on the Asset Manager
• Undervaluing the Critical Role of Reliability Engineering
• Inadequate Alignment of Safety, Risk Management, and Asset Maintenance Plans
• Misalignment Between Asset Strategy and Company Strategy

You’ll glean fascinating insights into how people are feeling, challenges faced, trends, hot topics and importantly the opportunities for you. These findings enable leaders, teams, and individuals to understand best practices, compare their companies’ performance and working environment to those inside and outside their industry, and make informed and effective decisions.

The results of the survey directly influence the MAINSTREAM Summit 2025 program. This means that the speakers (local and international), Xchanges and workshops at the MAINSTREAM Summit on the 6 March 2025, will be relevant to the community’s knowledge, capability, and training requirements.
