4. AM Progression 1996 – 2014
1996 2014
AM Mandated Multiple Legislative Changes, 4-5
cycles of updates
Basic or Core AM More Advanced AM, ODM used
Simple Asset Registers, Condition More sophisticated understanding of
assets and asset condition
Current service levels Some service level modelling
Simple future demand understanding Better future demand understanding
Some risk management More sophisticated risk management
Simple financials and assumptions Scenario analysis, ODM, more
understanding of assumption impact
5. 18 years - Overall Progression
• More knowledge of assets
• More knowledge of condition and failure
modes
• Better understanding of risks
• More ODM analysis (but not used by all)
• 15:70:15 – industry adoption spread
6. 18 Years – Still Gaps
• Service Level trade-offs with budgets and
risks
• Demand Forecasting
• Multiple scenario analysis
• ODM analysis
• Better understanding of preventative
maintenance verses renewal trade-offs
10. 18 Years – ODM Tools
• IDS dTIMS project – 16 year partnership
between NZ public infrastructure
engineers and Deighton, Canada
• See Inframanage.com/blog for recent
video on ODM
• Achieving good analysis and results
• The IDS dTIMS project has taken
sustained effort
15% of industry AM use at good level, using all appropriate tools – top of pack
70% industry – reasonable AM, but could do better, make better use of tools and analysis – middle of pack
15% industry – poor adoption of AM, dragging chain, invoke concern and regulation that affects all – bottom of the pack
Issue developed during Road Maintenance Task Force asset management analysis
Interconnectivity and trade-offs not well understood
Work is only just beginning on improving this understanding
Organisational culture of asset management is a huge issue
How to embed asset management thinking, and asset management practices
Relying on individuals carries longer term business risks
ISO 55000 addresses this by focussing on the total asset management system
Appropriate level of asset management practice for the authority is assessed
AMP compliance is assessed based on structured process
A risk prioritised asset management improvement program is developed from the results
370 major cities worldwide are shrinking http://www2.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=5718
25% in the USA – the majority on the East Coast
59 Major US cities are shrinking
Still experiencing worst first management after 18 years of AM
Moral Hazard – rewards poor behaviour
Reasons:
Management attitudes
Engineering staff attitudes
Lack of engagement in AM practice
Unwillingness to change
People think they can get away with it
Engineers are predisposed to complexity
Your risk and asset management should not look like this board
Black box models of incredible complexity that only you understand are of no use to anyone else
Keep it simple, and keep the analysis to an appropriate level
Models are only models – don’t forget about reality
