A Guide to Asset Management: What, Why, and How is a comprehensive guide to the thought process of asset management. Often people think of asset management as a technology-driven activity—what can you do with a computer or with software—rather than realizing that it is first and foremost a way of thinking. It is a strategic process that involves five main components: current state of the assets, level of service, criticality, life cycle costing, and long-term funding. The book describes each of these components, along with ancillary topics that are necessary to fully understand and implement asset management, including:
• The Asset Management Plan
• Getting Started
• Measuring Progress
• Assessing Triple Bottom Line Benefits
• Tools and Resources Available
