Case Study: Metropolitan Rail Operator achieves scenario-based asset management planning with Siemens Asset Management Software

Metropolitan Rail Operator visualizes 170 stations with Siemens Asset Management Software

The customer, a metropolitan rail operator in Australia, faced the challenge of optimizing its asset management outcomes during a transition to a new corporate EAM system. They needed a way to balance multiple factors like cost, risk, and performance to prioritize annual works programs. Siemens Asset Management Software was engaged to provide advanced decision analytics.

Siemens implemented a five-step methodology that involved data collation, model development workshops, and calibration with key stakeholders. The solution delivered powerful visualizations of multiple future asset scenarios using Esri online story maps. These outputs were integral to senior stakeholder engagement and were fed directly into key corporate plans, including the Strategic Asset Management Plan and the Annual Work Program. Siemens provided the operator with the ability to conduct what-if analyses considering asset condition, criticality, and degradation.
