This is a simple Asset Management Checklist I put together a while ago.  I was wondering if anyone can think of anything I should add to the list, or think any of the questions are irrelivant?

• Do you have an Asset Management Strategy?
• Do you have Asset Management Plans?
• Have you documented your asset management practices?
• Do you know the exact location of each of your assets?
• Do you have a list of all the legislation impacting on the management of assets in your state?
• Have you documented all of your asset management related outputs?
• Have you documented what you would like your asset management systems to be able to do?
• Are you confident that the data stored in your asset register is correct?
• Are you confident that all of the assets you are responsible for have been entered into your asset management system?
• Have the responsibilities for assets & asset management related tasks within your organisation been clearly defined?
• Have the asset management terms used within your organisation been clearly defined?
• Are developers aware of the information you would like them to provide when they hand assets over to Council?
• Do you have a Capital Works Evaluation Framework in place?
• Are you keeping up-to-date with the latest asset management related; technologies, theories and practices?
• Do you have a system for improving your asset management practices?
• Are you making the best possible use of everyone's knowledge?
• Are you maximising value for effort by minimising duplication of effort?
• Is it easy to find the information you need to answer questions and make good decisions?

As with the previous question, I am asking this because I am working on a powerpoint presentation about the reasons for, and value and future of asset management, and I want it to be interesting and persuasive.  If anyone would like a copy of the presentation when I am finished please let me know, and I will be only too happy to pass it on.

I guess my key message is that Councils should be working together using modern technology to come up with better ways of constructing and maintaining their infrastructure, and that plodding along implementing the current AM orthodoxy may not be the best use of our time.

I guess my audience is anyone working in the infrastructure asset management field, who is not doing their best to share their AM ideas and knowledge with the largest audience possible.

One query gave me the idea for this question, which I think is a very valuable question we need to ask ourselves.

Have you established how the Councils near you manage their assets?   Did they have any good ideas, that you subsequently adopted?  

That sort of information would be gold.   If a Council has changed their practices to copy a neighbour surely that is a great indication that the practice in question is a very good one?

If nobody answers yes to this one, I don't think we probably aren't doing our job properly.
