The Asset Management Landscape

English Version

1 Introduction
As the discipline of Asset Management has developed significantly over the last two decades, a number of approaches, standards, models and principles have been developed across the world. It has become clear that there is benefit in aligning these various approaches and collaborating to develop a global view, in particular for companies that operate Asset Management systems in many countries. The Asset Management Landscape is a GFMAM initiative focused on the third of GFMAMs enduring objectives to facilitate the exchange and alignment of maintenance and asset management knowledge and practices. The Asset Management Landscape initiative has the following objectives: 1) To develop a common Asset Management Landscape that provides an overview and perspective of Asset Management and its various features 2) To agree a set of Asset Management Subjects and Principles that describe the discipline of Asset Management 3) To allow GFMAM Member Organizations and their respective Members to see how and where their knowledge and practices fit against the Asset Management Landscape 4) To have a common Core (the Subjects and Principles) but be able to be tailored for each GFMAM Member Organizations to align it with their particular knowledge and practices This document describes The Asset Management Landscape English Version including the Subjects and Principles that depict the discipline of Asset Management. Each GFMAM Member incorporates this Landscape as part of their Asset Management Framework. An Asset Management Framework shows how and where a Members Knowledge and Practices fit within the Asset Management Landscape.

2 Asset Management Landscape

The Asset Management Landscape is a framework to enable Asset Management knowledge and practices to be compared, contrasted and aligned around a common understanding of the discipline of Asset Management. The Asset Management Landscape is represented in diagram 1 below:

Diagram 1: Asset Management Landscape This shows that the Asset Management Landscape is made up of three key areas: 1) The Core of the Asset Management Landscape which will be common across all GFMAM members; 2) The Knowledge and Practices Area of the Asset Management Landscape which will contain the knowledge and practices of each member society within their own Asset Management Frameworks. 3) The Supporting Area which contains reference to standards and other knowledge and practices that are considered to be outside the scope of Asset Management but which may influence the Asset Management practices of organizations around the world.

2.1

The Core

The Core of the Asset Management landscape comprises the Asset Management Principles and the Asset Management Subjects. The core has deliberately been kept to a minimum to prevent member organizations from having to re-work existing knowledge and practices. The Asset Management Principles need to be part of the Core to ensure GFMAM member organizations have a common understanding of Asset Management; even though they use different models and techniques to describe this to suit their various member communities. These Principles are aligned to the emerging work being undertaken to develop an international standard on Asset Management, the ISO55000 series of standards and are described in Section 4. The Asset Management Subjects need to be part of the Core to enable GFMAM members to be able to compare, contrast and align their knowledge and practices. These Subjects are also intended to provide a common understanding on the scope of Asset Management. The list of Subjects has been derived from an international review of an extensive list of Asset Management models and assessment methodologies. This review identified 39 Asset Management Subjects that together describe the scope of Asset Management, which are shown in the table below. It is essential to note that this is an arbitrary division of the discipline into individual Subjects for the purpose of understanding the breadth and components of Asset Management more clearly. They cannot be treated as self-standing and independent and it is not possible to understand Asset Management properly without addressing them all as a holistic integrated body of knowledge.

2.2

The Knowledge and Practices Area

The Knowledge and Practices Area of the Asset Management Landscape represents the knowledge and practices that GFMAM member organizations have developed or may wish to develop. It is intended that each GFMAM member organization will develop their own Asset Management Framework that is aligned with the Core of the Asset Management Landscape but is also aligned to the knowledge and practice of each member organization. The components that make up of these frameworks will be different across the different member organizations but are likely to include the items shown in the Knowledge and Practices Area of diagram 1. A brief description of these generic components is provided in Section 3 of this document. These Asset Management Frameworks will allow member organizations to map their knowledge and practices to the Asset Management Principles and Subjects and enable these to be compared, contrasted and aligned with the knowledge and practices of other member organizations. It also allows member organisations to do a gap analysis of what they offer to their members. The development of these Asset Management Frameworks should provide the following benefits to the members of the GFMAM member societies: Greater access to guidance and best practice material on Asset Management Common definitions relating to Asset Management and how Maintenance contributes to Asset Management Helps to bring Maintenance and Asset Management to the boardroom Greater consistency internationally on guidance on Asset Management Greater choice of internationally recognised qualifications through the International Accord Increased availability of international case studies and other knowledge

Part Two of this Asset Management Landscape description will contain guidance on how GFMAM member organizations can develop their own Asset Management Frameworks and to compare, contrast and align their knowledge and practices with other members.

2.3

The Supporting Area

The Supporting Area of the Asset Management Landscape contains standards, knowledge and practices that are not considered to be within the scope of Asset Management but that may influence Asset Management decisions. At this stage only a few example are shown on diagram 1 and this should not considered to be a comprehensive list.

3 Components of the Knowledge and Practices Area

The following sections provide an overview of the different components of the Knowledge and Practices Area of the Asset Management Landscape.

3.1

Conceptual Models

A conceptual model describes, at the highest level, the key aspects of Asset Management and how these interact with each other how they link to the overall corporate objectives and business plan. Everyones journey in the understanding and application of Asset Management is different, reflecting differing starting points, cultures, languages and objectives. Thus, differing conceptual models may therefore be helpful to present Asset Management in way that reflects more closely the background and current position of any member organization, whilst still retaining a common approach and content. However, there are a number of common characteristics that a conceptual model should include which are: They should cover the whole scope of Asset Management as defined by the 39 Subjects of the Landscape They should be consistent with GFMAM Asset Management Principles They should consider the whole asset lifecycle They should reinforce alignment (line of sight) to organizational goals and objectives They should reflect how the business environment and stakeholders will influence the Asset Management approach They should reinforce the importance of the integration of activities to deliver an overall output They should emphasise the need for measuring performance and continuous improvement.

Three example conceptual models from GFMAM member organizations are in shown in Appendix A that all share these characteristics.

3.2

Competence Frameworks

A competence framework contains the competence requirements that are needed for people working at different levels within an Asset Management organization. Competence requirements are typically described in a hierarchy, for example Roles, Units and Elements of competence. Competence frameworks sometimes define the level of competence required for different Asset Management roles or otherwise will define the process by which these should be defined within an organization looking to adopt the competence framework. Competence frameworks are typically linked to an Asset Management body of knowledge and should be linked with the 39 Subjects within the Asset Management Landscape Core to demonstrate coverage of scope.

The Asset Management Landscape

English Version

3.3

Asset Management Training Courses

Asset Management Training courses can be described within an Asset Management Framework by linking this training to the 39 Subjects to demonstrate coverage of scope of each course. The training courses can also be linked to the Units and Elements of competence defined within the competence frameworks.

3.4

Asset Management Qualifications

Asset Management Qualifications will typically form part of an Asset Management Framework whether these qualifications are offered by the GFMAM member organizations or by third parties. Another GFMAM project (the International Accord) will provide the framework for assessing the relevance and level of different Asset Management Qualifications from providers around the world. The assessment of qualifications will be undertaken using the Asset Management Qualifications Framework which is fully mapped to the 39 Subjects in the Asset Management Landscape Core. It is expected that Asset Management Qualifications included within a GFMAM Asset Management Framework will have been assessed using the International Accord. This will be particularly beneficial to multi-national organizations that are members of more than one GFMAM member organization and are seeking a common approach to Asset Management Qualifications globally.

3.5

Knowledge

Most GFMAM member organizations already have a Body of Knowledge, Knowledge Base, Knowledge Centre or other initiatives to collate and disseminate Knowledge, but the ability to compare, contrast, align and share information across member organizations is limited due to the different approaches used to develop these. Mapping the member organizations Knowledge to the 39 Subjects in the Asset Management Landscape Core will facilitate the sharing of case studies, papers, how-to guides and best practices, thereby rapidly increasing the volume of material available to end users of the Knowledge.

3.6

Assessment Methods and Awards

As organizations adopt Asset Management they will rapidly want to develop their capabilities beyond the requirements of BSI PAS 55 and the emerging ISO55001 standard. It will be important for GFMAM member organizations to provide guidance to these organizations on a consistent way of assessing Asset Management Maturity across the 39 Subjects in the Asset Management Landscape Core. GFMAM member organizations may have developed their own Assessment Methods that may also be used for Asset Management Awards, and there will be in increasing need to ensure these Assessment Methods are aligned with the 39 Subjects and are consistent across GFMAM member organizations.

4 Asset Management Principles

Although definitions of Asset and Asset Management are not part of the Asset Management Landscape Core, the following definitions are included to provide the context for the Asset Management Principles that follow. They are taken from the draft ISO55000, Asset management - Overview, principles and terminology. It is likely that these definitions will continue to evolve over the period before publication. An Asset is defined in ISO 55000 as something that has potential or actual value to an organization. The following notes are included as clarification:
NOTE 1 Value can be tangible or intangible, financial or non-financial; examples of assets include financial assets, human resource assets, physical assets, organization reputation, etc. NOTE 2 Value includes consideration of risks and liabilities, and can be positive or negative at different stages of the assets life NOTE 3 For most organizations, physical assets usually refer to equipment, inventory and properties owned by the organization. Physical assets are the opposite of intangible assets, which are nonphysical assets such as leases, brands, intellectual property rights, reputation or agreements.

Asset Management is defined in ISO 55000 as coordinated activities of an organization to realise value from assets. The following notes are included as clarification:
NOTE 1 Value can be tangible or intangible, financial or non-financial NOTE 2 Value includes consideration of risks and liabilities, and can be positive or negative at different times in the asset life NOTE 3 Realisation of value will normally involve an optimization of costs, risks, opportunities and performance benefits. NOTE 4 When asset outputs or required service levels are pre-determined and non-negotiable, or when value is negative (e.g. dominated by risks or liabilities), realise value can represent minimising the combination of costs and risks.

This is a much broader view, and a more challenging scope, than just the maintenance of physical equipment, or the maximising of yield from a financial portfolio. It encompasses all asset types, tangible and intangible, individual components or complex systems, and all activities involved in the assets life cycle everything from initial identification of requirements or opportunities, acquisition/creation, operations or utilization activities, asset stewardship or care/maintenance responsibilities, through to renewal or disposal and any remaining liabilities. Asset management is therefore holistic it considers the whole picture rather than just individual contributions. Where possible, the Asset Management Principles within the Core of the Asset Management Landscape will be aligned with ISO55000 but, as with the definitions above, these are subject to change as the ISO evolves.

The Asset Management Landscape

English Version

The Asset Management Principles are: 1. Assets exist to provide value to the organization and its stakeholders Asset management is not about the asset itself, it is about what the asset can do for the organization in achieving its short and long term objectives. Value is defined by the organization and its stakeholders, and can be both financial and non-financial in nature. 2. People are key determiners of asset value realization A key differentiator in value realization is the organizations ability to recognise, develop, retain and reward their people for the management of assets. The output of an engaged workforce is far higher than that of a disengaged one. Engaged employees fully understand the organizational purpose and consistently achieve the objectives and goals. 3. An asset management organization is a learning organization A culture of organizational learning and continual improvement is critical to the management of an ever changing asset mix and the competitive and social pressures focused on them. Learning organizations have transparency in the decision making process relating to asset management. This approach can be considered as a view of continual improvement that focuses on people, understanding of their role within the organization; their ability to look at the processes and resources provided, and their ability to challenge those arrangements and not feel threatened. 4. Asset management requires understanding of the organizations operating context and opportunities Asset management should be totally integrated within the organization and be based on a sound knowledge of its internal structures and processes, as well as its external drivers (including regulatory, political, socio-economic, technological and market forces). 5. Asset management decisions consider both short-term and long-term economic, environmental and social impacts In its day to day decision making processes the organization should consider any short term requirements and opportunities, and objectively weigh them up against their long term impacts (with respect to risk, cost and performance, within the economic, political, environmental and social perspective). 6. Asset management transforms strategic intent into technical, economic and financial decisions and actions All actions performed at a technical, economic and financial level should be aligned with the organization's strategic intent. It is the connection between the top and the bottom that enables the organization to consistently achieve its defined strategic goals. An organization should facilitate their common alignment through regular communication mechanisms.
