What is asset management and where do you start?

摘要

For decades the industrial sector— particularly in the United States, Canada, and portions of the European community—has focused heavily on managing plant and equipment assets. Only recently have public utilities been interested or more formally involved in developing an asset management strategy (AMS). Preliminary program results migrating from Australia and New Zealand have somewhat fueled (or refueled) this effort.rnA sound AMS must be viewed as belonging to and involving the entire organization, not just the maintenance department.
