Asset Management

2. There are five common risks that
contribute to an organization’s
failure to optimally manage
their assets.

3. 1. Not Knowing What You Have

4. While it might seem intuitively obvious,
many organizations either don’t appreciate
the need to know with a high level of
confidence the assets that they have, or they
choose not to take the time to do so.

5. 2. Over or Under-Maintenance

6. The typical organization that is accustomed
to over-maintaining its assets will most
likely be performing intrusive maintenance
tasks more frequently, reducing uptime.

7. The typical organization that is
accustomed to under-maintaining its
assets often views maintenance as a
business expense open to cutting like
any other in order to maximize profits.

8. With these pressures, maintenance
departments are constantly struggling
with how to balance cost with the
performance requirements for the assets
such as reliability and uptime.

9. 3. Improper Operation

10. The best guidance we can give
with respect to this issue is to:
1) find out how your assets
should be run; 2) understand
the effects of operating outside
of design ranges; and 3) if you
can’t operate within the ranges,
understand the risks or mitigate
the risk.

11. 4. Improper Risk Management

12. The basic tenet of best practices for
asset management dictates that a plan
is implemented that not only manages
the operation and maintenance of an
organization’s assets but also manages
the risks associated with the ownership
and use of the assets.

13. 5. Sub-Optimized Asset
Management Systems

14. This generally stems from
shortcuts taken during the
EAM implementation. The
way to fully address this
issue is to either do it right
the first time or pay more to
do it later.

15. True excellence in asset
management performance lies
not only in avoiding the pitfalls
but also in turning every
opportunity to fail into an
opportunity to excel.
