Strategic asset management is a mindset that is based on that physical infrastructure assets can help achieve business goals. Asset management is a key capability in this holistic approach that is supported by BS 65000:2014 Guidelines on Organizational resilience.
Whatever your goal is to minimize downtime, reduce repair costs, increase productivity or increase reliability of equipment You can achieve all of this through efficient maintenance. It is important to understand the performance and requirements of your assets. This involves creating a precise and complete inventory. Also, it is necessary to devise strategies to acquire new assets – with an emphasis on long-term value as well as alignment to business goals – as well as strategies for maintaining and extending the lifespan of the existing ones.
Once you have a solid base and a solid foundation, you’ll be ready to transition from reactive to proactive operation. This means staying clear of the common mistakes that many companies fall into, like not aligning maintenance activities with goals for the future and misinterpreting data, or not performing regular comparisons of reports from baseline.
You can avoid these mistakes by incorporating your asset management strategy into a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) that’s designed to connect all the elements of your operational puzzle. You’ll then have the visibility and transparency needed to not only identify areas for improvement, but also make your case stronger when you need to justify your next budget request.
