Private and government organisations face significant challenges as they strive to become commercially competitive in achieving best practice performance in the management of their assets.
Capital intensive companies and government organisations operate and maintain significant assets distributed over large geographic areas. The need to identify risk, return on investment and avoidable and unavoidable costs is paramount in improving operational and capital efficiency in the context of expenditure constraints. The implementation of an Integrated Asset Management approach typically yields significantly reduced facility related costs, alignment with business objectives and integrated risk assessment processes.
Indec Consulting has developed and tailored to specific industries a number of integrated asset management strategies, management policies, practices and processes. Our approach is based on integrating strategic and business planning and linking asset strategies to service delivery, risk management, capital investment plans and maintenance planning. Our methodologies also incorporate monitoring of infrastructure outcomes and capital works, and maintenance activity execution. Typical of our results-oriented style, is our asset management diagnostic and process improvement analysis. Indec’s asset management diagnostic tool is designed to quickly identify any gaps in the asset management processes and practices within an organisation. It is designed to assess single processes and the degree of integration and to highlight any performance gaps that need to be addressed.
Clients that have already partnered with Indec with respect to integrated asset management cover financial services, all levels of government, mining, transport and logistics, and utilities sectors and include a wide range of public and private industry organisations in sectors as diverse as rail, bus, roads and ports, and water, electricity and gas utilities.
