Tangible Asset Management Strategy
Infrastructure Stewardship • Lifecycle Planning • Maintenance Excellence
🎯 Purpose & Vision
This strategy outlines a long-term action plan—spanning the next decade—to address critical needs in infrastructure management and plant maintenance. It emphasizes a collaborative, lifecycle-based approach to ensure assets are developed, maintained, and renewed in alignment with service standards and financial sustainability.
🧩 Strategic Foundations
- Asset requirements are driven by defined service levels and performance benchmarks.
- Financial resources are allocated to optimize infrastructure investment and operational efficiency.
- A long-term lifecycle approach governs asset operations, maintenance, and renewal planning.
👥 Building the Right Team
A successful Tangible Asset Management Strategy begins with a dedicated planning team. As the strategy evolves, implementation stakeholders must be integrated to ensure ownership, alignment, and seamless execution. A robust Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system supports this by enhancing core functions like preventive maintenance and training.
