This document discusses NYC Transit's case for implementing an Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system. It notes that NYC Transit is the largest public transportation agency in North America, operating 24/7 with 7 million daily riders. It seeks to institute world-class asset management practices and information systems to increase asset productivity while lowering costs. The vision is to connect operational and capital investment decisions using coordinated processes and information systems to optimize asset management and improve operations. Key success factors for implementing EAM include having a full enterprise solution, leadership-driven governance, and an integrated roadmap to realize value.

Editor's Notes
Vision
To connect operating and capital investment decisions using systematic and coordinated process and information systems to optimize how NYCT manages its asset and asset systems to improve day-to-day operations, increase customer service and lower costs.
One of the key principles of Enterprise Asset Management is the line of sight provided to make decisions at all levels of the organization. An understanding of how daily functions impact on strategic organizational goals enables line of sight decision making and a collective progression toward a better railway.
Plans, procedures and work instructions should be developed to achieve goals set forth by the overall Asset Management Strategy. Part of all processes should be a feedback loop to enable continuous improvement and the ability to adapt to change.
Culture /Competencies
As part of this transformation, a training and education program on the principles of Enterprise Asset Management will need to be implemented to educate those who will act within the system and bring their capabilities to a level where the system will function
Only when strategy has been set, procedures have been standardized, and optimized, and individuals have achieved required competencies, information resources and technology can be added to the system to produce a smooth running product.
Preliminary assessment of the MTA’s asset management practices, processes, decision support tools and organization structure and strategy in comparison to PAS 55.
Many areas of the asset management system need improvement
Many tools exist but are not linked together, resulting in significant data gaps
Policy statements are functional or focused on asset capacity and not linked to the strategic plan
There is no single consistent asset strategy across the organization
Many enablers are missing and therefore cause an inconsistent approach across the organization
Asset risk other than safety is not factored into decision making process
Decision-support tools to compare goals and risks with investment options are not currently used
Line-of-sight architecture is not apparent for connecting senior managers to front line workers
Formal Sr. Management reviews of AM Competence or Asset Risk are not in place
Strategy - An integrated approach with the following objectives:
Provide a clear line of sign on organizational priorities and decision making
Develop efficient and effective standardized business processes
Embed the culture and competencies for advanced asset management practices
Deploy asset information strategies, standards and systems to support lifecycle planning, operations and decision making
Stages and Gates:
Fall 2011 – Increase understanding and acceptance of AM
1Q 2012 – Establish enterprise-level AM Framework
2Q 2012 – Benchmark departments against PAS55
3Q 2012 – Develop a prioritized roadmap for implementation program
By 2015 – Achieve a basic level of AM strategies, processes, competencies and tools
In 2015 – Begin to look towards more advanced practices and continuous improvement
