What is Asset Management?
Asset Management is a systematic approach to operating, maintaining, and upgrading, physical assets cost-effectively. It combines engineering principles with sound business practices and economic theory. It is a toolbox to facilitate an organized, logical approach to decision-making and provides a framework for handling both short- and long-range planning
Through the process of answering seven essential questions of Infrastructure Asset Management, organizations can develop their own unique Asset Management Plan.
- What do we own? (Inventory)
- What is it worth? (Valuation)
- What condition is it in? (Condition & Performance)
- What do we need to do to it? (Lifecycle Activities)
- When do we need to do it? (Useful Life)
- How much money do we need? (Replacement Profile)
- How do we reach sustainability? (Investment Profile)
These questions form the basis for the development of asset management plans and build capacity in organizations to incorporate asset management principles into its long range planning regardless of the size of the organization.
