Asset, Facility and Maintenance Management

Our asset, facility and maintenance management model and book

We developed an asset, facility or maintenance management model and wrote a manual that aims at providing those active in the management of productive and infrastructure assets or facilities with the knowledge, skills and attitudes for optimising the quality and quantity of outputs or services (which increases revenue), minimising risk and use of inputs (which decreases cost and increases profit) at the various life stages, as required by the business plan.

We combine theoretical concepts and practical considerations to refine the understanding of:

• the role of asset, facility or maintenance  management as a vital business driver,
• the essential tools required for effective and efficient management of assets and facilities, in the light of economics, safety, health and environment, and
• the importance of accurate performance data and analysis and of decision making based on facts and life cycle costs.

What makes our approach different?

• operators affect the performance of a function as much as maintainers, hence we cover operational and maintenance tasks and introduce operators performing minor maintenance to address any performance deterioration as soon as possible, reducing costs; and
• we perform maintenance when the asset requires it to perform its function at the required performance level. This means that we do not perform maintenance to 'make an item look good'. This also reduces costs.
• we address all issues that contribute maximising revenue and minimising costs and risk over all stages of the life of an asset. 
  
• We emphasise that existing assets or facilities may also benefit from a one-off design modification or changes to the operational or maintenance procedures. Hence the manual applies equally to existing and new assets and facilities.
