HMAS Anzac’s engineering departments were awarded a bronze certificate at the recent Maintenance Engineering Society of Australia’s (MESA) awards night, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Companies and organisations from over 30 countries attended the awards. The stated objectives of this international award were “to bring about the optimum performance of assets, and the development of the maintenance discipline”.
The Anzac team found the MESA’s program both an opportunity and a challenge that involved thinking about how to manage maintenance. The program also offered the chance to take on board good ideas for maintenance improvements, especially from other industries.
Anzac’s submission involved contributions from all ranks, with officers and senior sailors providing the initial written report. Junior sailors demonstrated how the Navy conducts maintenance during the MESA assessment team’s ship visit. |
