Slides from 'The Journey Towards Asset Management Excellence' held 24th July 2014.
It can be difficult to know which asset management approach will help you obtain the maximum value from your assets, while also helping you to keep costs down.
In this free webinar Donald MacDonald will discuss the pros and cons of each approach, as well as examine how these can help you achieve excellence in asset management.
Key Topics:
* The various alternative approaches to asset management available to the FM practitioner.
* The advantages and the disadvantages of each of these approaches.
* The roles that these various approaches play in achieving excellence in asset management.

3. Definition
“A set of coordinated activities that an organisation uses to realise value from
assets in the delivery of its outcomes or objectives. Realisation of value requires
the achievement of a balance of costs, risks and benefits over different time
scales.”
(Draft ISO 55000 - Asset Management)
4. Drivers behind rising Asset Management
awareness
The rising profile of whole of life costs e.g. PPPs
Statutory obligations – obligations for government bodies to have an asset
management plan
The rising cost and scarcity of money
Risk management
Value for money principals
PAS55/ ISO55000
Industry benchmarks e.g. TEFMA

14. Funding Challenges for Planned Maintenance
and Lifecycle Replacement Works
The consequences of under-spending is unlikely to be immediately apparent to the
customer.
Non-core business requirements are valued less highly than core business needs.
If the assets appear to be performing within the parameters that the customer expects
of them, it can be difficult for these customers to perceive a need for major
expenditure.
Assets that are performing inefficiently, either due to inadequate maintenance or from
having been retained in service beyond their economic life, often deteriorate
gradually.
15. Common approaches to Lifecycle Estimating
Fixed % of value per annum
Squeaky wheel
What did we spend last year?
17. Disadvantages
Availability of funds = Backlog maintenance issues =
Reliability of assets + Responsive repair costs +
Unscheduled service interruptions +
VALUE FOR MONEY!!!
Incidences of premature asset failure =
Does not reflect reality =
18. No direct link between estimated lifecycle costs and actual performance of assets.
Estimated lifecycle costs assume external factors do not impact lifecycle.
Disadvantages
33. Supported State Housing Department
> 500 properties supported living units
Located throughout Victoria
Lifecycle & maintenance funding = $7,000 p.a. / property
Substantial back log maintenance issues
Establishing business case for asset replacement was challenging
35. Typical lifecycle profile for all properties identified
Point at which assets were ‘technically dilapidated’ identified
Lifecycle & maintenance funding increased to $24,000 p.a./ property
Business case for asset replacement established

37. Country Base Hospital
Decision taken to consolidate services at two hospitals
Management of hospital to be transferred between two state health departments
Initial period - 5 years
Lifecycle liability of infrastructure & biomedical assets to be agreed at the point of
transfer
Basis of joint funding for lifecycle liability to be agreed
38. Lifecycle liability of infrastructure and biomedical assets for next five years was
established
All assets scheduled for replacement were risk ranked
Both parties agreed sum for lifecycle replacement works for extreme and high risk
assets
Tool provided a robust, transparent and equitable basis for mutually agreeing funding
levels

43. Key to an effective asset list
A standardised approach to naming conventions
Standardised naming conventions applied to all assets
Naming convention typically follow published naming principles e.g. BCIS
QA controlled master list of assets
A ‘single source of truth’
Standardised approach to asset list inclusions e.g. > $1,000 in value and/ or requiring
planned maintenance interventions
Assets <$1,000 in value are typically bundled e.g. RCD’s, fire equipment etc.
Include replacement value and date of installation
Sub- divide entire portfolio into logical and appropriate areas

47. Reliability Centred Maintenance
Identify major asset with unusual failure patterns (e.g. desalination pump)
Sub- divide asset into composite assets (e.g. impellers, electric motor, etc.)
Identify nature and consequences of composite asset failures
Undertake a root cause analysis of each failure
Identify remedial works required (e.g. repairs and modifications)
Undertake a Cost Benefit Analysis re: remedial works required and implement as
appropriate
Budget for and implement a planned maintenance regime to mitigate issues going
forward
Identify training needs and implement
Identify documentation needs and implement

52. ISO 55000 - Background
A new International Standard released in early 2014
Based on PAS 55
Consultation with > 30 countries including Australia
Government clients are mandating this Standard e.g. QLD Health & Federal
Government
Incentivises a risk based, standardised and consistent approach to asset
management
53. ISO 55000 - Features and Benefits
Asset management policy encourages strategic alignment with core business
Risk based approach
By focusing on critical assets, expenditure is prioritised
Introduces best practice
Facilitates a proactive approach to asset management
Facilitates effective benchmarking
Supports probity and transparency
54. Begin with the end in mind
Future proof by design
Source locally where possible
Ensure key components, systems and sub- systems are backed by guarantees and
warrantees
Maximise local skills and materials
Avoid locating plant on roof
Construct plant rooms before plant has been installed
Consider maintenance access to high level architectural features e.g. glazed atriums.
Ensure metering supports future flexible usage of spaces
Always ensure service access to plant
“Black Start” test entire facility prior to handover
Make receipt of O&M manuals a ‘condition precedent’ of practical completion
