Asset Management Advisory
Reliability gaps rarely live in just one place. Neither does our advice.
COSOL brings decades of asset management experience across people, process, data, and technology - and stays accountable until improvement is in the numbers, not just the report.

Five Advisory Solutions. Built for the Pressures Asset Management Leaders Actually Face.
1. Asset Management Maturity Uplift
“Too many teams are working hard without getting the results their operation demands - and without a clear, agreed view of why.”
- Team COSOL
COSOL's Maturity Uplift is the starting point most operations should take before committing improvement budget anywhere else. It gives asset-intensive organisations a scored, evidence-based view of where they stand across people, process, data, and systems - and a prioritised roadmap to close the gaps that are costing them most.
The program covers four capability areas:
- Asset Management Assessment and Improvement Plans - 21 competency areas evaluated, producing a phased 0-24 month roadmap with a value case tied to production, uptime, and cost (Watch our Webinar!)
- Master Data Diagnostic - data quality assessed across the processes where gaps are creating the most operational impact, with a prioritised remediation plan
- AM Standards and Frameworks - the governance structures your operation needs to make improvement repeatable and sustainable
- Master Data Strategy and Standards - strategy and standards designed from the ground up for organisations without established data governance
Relevant for:
Maintenance Managers, Engineering Managers, and Site GMs where reactive work is rising, improvement initiatives keep stalling, or leadership cannot agree on what to fix first.
Customer Story
A large Gold Miner had identified opportunities to improve maintenance and asset management but lacked the capacity to drive the detailed strategic work. COSOL delivered a three-phase roadmap aligned across departments and began co-delivery of the improvement initiatives. The program is set to deliver multiple times return on investment in the first year.
2. Asset Investment Confidence
“Every dollar committed to buying, maintaining, or replacing assets either earns its return or erodes it. The difference is whether the decision behind it was driven by strategy or habit.”
- Team COSOL
COSOL builds the evidence base your leadership team needs to invest with confidence - whether the challenge is a fleet approaching end of life, a capital portfolio needing rationalisation, or a major project requiring rigorous feasibility analysis.
What COSOL Advisory Team delivers:
- Whole-of-life asset strategy and plans
- Fleet strategy and asset replacement analysis
- Project feasibility studies
- Capital portfolio optimisation
Relevant for:
Asset Managers, Engineering Managers, and Finance leaders facing major capital decisions or growing pressure to justify spend with a business case that holds up under scrutiny.
Customer Story
One of Australia's largest Iron Ore Mining company engaged COSOL to assess the feasibility of lightweight trays to increase haul truck payload capacity. The result was a 5.9% payload increase - equivalent to an additional 71 million tonnes of fleet capacity over ten years.
3. Business-Aligned Maintenance Strategy
“A maintenance strategy built for last year's budget and last year's risk profile is already costing you. As conditions shift, strategies that do not adapt become a source of both waste and risk.”
- Team COSOL
COSOL develops and adapts maintenance strategies that reflect what the business actually needs right now - not what the OEM recommended at commissioning, or what has always been done.
What COSOL Advisory delivers:
- Maintenance strategy development
- Tactics development and review
- Shutdown strategy
- Labour optimisation
Relevant for:
Maintenance Managers and Operations leaders where strategy has not been reviewed in years, shutdown costs are escalating, or planned work is consistently displaced by reactive work.
Customer Story
A large iron ore mining company required improved accuracy in the planned maintenance budget for Heavy Mobile Equipment. COSOL analysed SAP master data gaps and historical budget overspend, then created PM02 task lists to close the gap between budgeted and expected spend. The result was savings of over $30 million.
4. Working Capital Improvement
“Inventory is one of the most significant sources of trapped capital in any asset-intensive operation. Spare parts that have not moved in years. Critical spares duplicated across sites. Contracts written for an operating environment that no longer exists.”
- Team COSOL
Reducing inventory capital does not have to put reliability at risk. Done with the right analytical rigour, working capital improvement strengthens both financial and operational performance at the same time.
What COSOL delivers:
- Inventory optimisation - rationalising holdings that do not reflect actual asset risk while protecting genuinely critical spares
- Critical spares assessments - a failure-mode-driven review of what is truly critical versus what can be sourced on demand
- Commercial contracts review - identifying where renegotiation creates measurable value
Relevant for:
Maintenance Managers, Supply Chain Managers, and Finance leaders carrying significant inventory value with limited confidence in whether holdings match what assets actually need.
Customer Story
A gold mine based in Africa, had hydraulic excavators that were constraining total site production. COSOL's critical spares planning directly addressed the component lead time issues extending downtime - improving equipment availability and closing the supply chain exposure limiting production capacity.
5. Asset Management Process Optimisation
“Ineffective processes do not always look like failure. They look like people working hard to compensate for a process that does not quite work — chasing approvals, correcting data, running workarounds so embedded nobody remembers there was supposed to be a better way.”
- Team COSOL
COSOL identifies the process gaps costing your operation most, redesigns work execution around what the business needs, and builds the documentation and governance to make the improvement stick.
What COSOL delivers:
- Work management process design and improvement
- Operational and asset readiness
- Reliability engineering
- Shutdown effectiveness
- Spares and inventory management process design
- Procure to pay optimisation
- OnPlan Digital Work Management implementation
All process optimisation work is underpinned by COSOL's Work Stream Manager Platform.
Relevant for:
Operations Managers and Process Owners where critical processes run inconsistently across sites or shifts, or a major system transition is creating the opportunity to redesign processes before the investment is made.

Is Advisory the right next step for your Operations?
The organisations that benefit most from COSOL's advisory are those where the pressure is already visible but the path forward is not clear - or not agreed.
