Improving the delivery of asset management across the enterprise

This paper sets out a methodology for the asset management transformation of a complex organisation operating multiple sites and extensive fleets of physical assets. The approach is based on PAS 55:2008 and ISO 55000 specifications for an asset management system. Case study material is utilised to draw out specific approaches for applying the techniques to deliver tangible performance improvement throughout the organisation and in particular to service delivery groups. The foundation elements include defining and communicating a clear strategy, aligning the organisation with asset management service delivery and the use of information to optimise decision making about work delivery and investments in the assets themselves.
