A note from the author.
The earth is a physical asset that we as a human race are
responsible to manage and the manner in which this is
performed can affect us on a global scale. How we utilize
the natural resources and maintain the cleanliness of the
land, water and air directly affects the delicate balanceand quality of life for present and future generations.

tasks and costs that are required to maintain these
conditions.
This book identifies WHAT functions and programs a
physical asset management system is comprised of and
WHY they are needed. However, it does not dwell on
HOW these functions and programs are to be
implemented. The need for them and how they are
implemented will vary based on several factors such as
what types of products and services an organization
provides, the size of the organization and the existing
infrastructure and culture.

IntroductionThe majority of us perform physical asset management
related activities regularly and dont even realize it. We
rely on the effective management of physical assets in
our daily lives that are utilized in industries such as
utilities, transportation, waste & water treatment, oil,
chemical, automotive, electronic, construction,
pharmaceutical, health & nutrition, real-estate, medical,
food, aerospace, defense, manufacturing and
entertainment. We depend on the fact that physical
assets such as aircraft are managed and maintained
properly so that they will not fall from the sky or anuclear power plant reactor does not incur a meltdown.
The entire infrastructure in which we live depends on

physical asset management and how effectively and
efficiently it is applied.
The simple fact is that just about every organization
performs physical asset related activities. The size of an
organization, quantity and complexity of physical assets
and type of products or services that an organization
provides directly affects the extent and complexity of a
physical asset management system. As with many things
in life, we can choose to ignore or even reject a
systematic approach as to how these activities are
performed or we can choose to embrace and organize
them. The organized implementation and management
of a physical asset management and how this is
implemented and maintained will directly and indirectly
affect the success of the organization.
This book will explain the different aspects of physical
asset management and briefly describe the
implementation of maintenance management as well. It
addresses the importance of a reoccurring activity that

significantly affects the life of many physical assets which
is known as maintenance.

Physical Assets
Lets begin with an analogy that the majority of us can
relate to. Many of us own, lease or rent an automobile
and a home within we live. These are both forms ofphysical assets. The majority of us like our physical assets
to be clean, nice looking and well maintained. When we
entertain friends and relatives, we like to impress them
with our physical assets. A dirty home or automobile
does not leave a good impression. They can look, feel
and smell unpleasant or even offensive and affect issues
such as safety, health and performance. When we plan

factors such as price, appearance, quality, efficiency,
dependability, reliability and longevity. The fact is that
the initial cost or price alone should not be the only
influencing factor. There is a cost which is associated
with an automobiles life which is known as physical
asset lifecycle cost. In many instances, the most
significant cost associated with a physical assets life
besides the initial investment is the cost of maintenance.Maintenance includes activities such as cleaning, repairs,
inspections, servicing and periodic parts replacements. If
an automobile is not maintained properly at scheduled
intervals, the influencing factors which were initially
considered appealing prior to the purchase will
deteriorate thus affecting the value and reliability of the
automobile. In another example, the buyer might
purchase an automobile that has low quality ratings but
the lower initial cost is appealing. However, due to the
low quality rating, this type of automobile may
experience significantly more component failures whichaffect the reliability of the automobile. In both cases, the

lack of reliability will have a severe impact on the owner
such as reactive repairs, excessive costs and
inconvenience.
We have clearly defined some of the important factors
that influence physical assets. The analogy that we used
with automobiles and homes can be directly applied to
organization environments. The majority of organizations
are housed in some form of a building. Additionally,
organizations usually purchase, rent or lease physical
assets such as computers, printers, furniture, vehicles,
machinery and equipment. In many instances, there
seems to be a separation of how we view and treat our
personal physical assets compared to the physical assets
that are utilized by our organization. In reality, the
physical assets of an organization should be treated with
a higher level of respect and care than our own personal
physical assets. This is due to the fact that the physical
assets that are utilized by the organization contribute toproviding the organizations revenue, success and the
income that funds our personal physical assets. So why is

it that in many organizations this is not recognized? This
may be due to the manner and the method in which
physical asset management and more specifically
maintenance management is viewed, understood and
implemented within an organization and also
understanding the associated risks of not having a
system in place. The majority of organizations that
embrace physical asset management have a carefullyplanned, defined and structured implementation of it
with the accompanying strategies, plans, policies,
procedures, functions, programs and supporting systems.
These organizations have learned that not having a
system in place affects the performance, success and
competitiveness of the organization and can actually
jeopardize their existence.

Physical Asset Management SystemIt is extremely important that a scalable Strategic Asset
Management Plan (SAMP) is developed that includes the
involvement of stakeholders. This plan should define
how physical assets are managed throughout the various
lifecycle stages. A physical asset and maintenance policymust also be established that the stakeholders agree to
live by.

Policy
The physical asset management policy must be
documented and provide a framework for setting the
asset management objectives and should include
commitments by top management towards satisfying the
applicable requirements and the continual improvementof the physical asset management system. This policy
should be consistent with the organizational plan and
other relevant policies.
Plan
The organization should develop and document a plan
that will assure that the physical asset management
system will achieve the original intentions of the policy
and prevent or reduce undesirable effects and integrate
continual improvement methods. This plan should also
be consistent with achieving the organizations objectivesand expectations of the stakeholders.

Objectives
The asset management objectives should be consistent
with organizational objectives and the asset
management policy. They should also be measurable,
monitored, reviewed and updated as needed. The
organization will need to establish an infrastructure with
assigned responsibilities and appropriate authorities that
will accomplish, support, review and update the
objectives.

Physical Asset SupportDepending on the size and business nature of an
organization, there are several support functions and
programs that may need to be put into place to ensure
that the physical asset management system is complete.
These include the following;
Disaster & Emergency Preparedness andRecovery

Stakeholders need to be involved in the establishment,
review and refinement of the physical asset management
system as a whole. This is what provides input as to how
this system will be formed and helps to ensure that
important functions and requirements are addressed and
included.
Communication
Physical assets are utilized for many different purposes
and by many different people within organizations.
Related activities should be communicated with the
individuals that rely on these physical assets toaccomplish their tasks and goals. In some cases these
activities require negotiations or alternative solutions to
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management
25/80
Introduction to Physical Asset & Maintenance Management
25
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
be put into place. Nevertheless, it should never be
assumed that the related activity does not require some
type of planning, scheduling and notification to be
performed. People tend to become much more receptive
and cooperative when they are included in the decision
making process and in many cases provide invaluable
input. Communication usually affects the success of the
required activity.
Risk Management
Identifying and addressing potential risks is a critical part
of any physical asset and maintenance management
system. The type of risk and the extent of the associated
effects will influence the manner in which it is addressed.
The cost of some physical asset failures pose such a
significant risk due to the associated costs that they must
be mitigated because failure is not an option. For
example, many physical assets rely on electricity tofunction. Some of these physical assets provide life
sustaining services or information and technological

FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
services that will cause unacceptable conditions without
their continued functionality. This associated risk may be
addressed by implementing a backup generator that
automatically continues to provide the electricity when
the main service fails. Another example is determining
which components of a continually used physical asset
are prone to failure and that may be very difficult to
acquire. In this case spares are usually kept readilyavailable and additional alternative solutions are
carefully evaluated and may be put in place. These are
both forms of risk mitigation.
Project Management
In many cases, physical asset and maintenance
management require the use of project management
skills or even a dedicated project management entity or
group. Many types of projects are encountered and must
be managed such as physical asset relocation, expansion,
setup, design, engineering, construction, fabrication,assembly and installation to name just a few. These
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management
27/80
Introduction to Physical Asset & Maintenance Management
27
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
projects require careful planning, coordination and
execution to be successful.
Planning
One of the most important activities that is sometimes
overlooked in physical asset management is the
continual need for effective planning. Planning should
occur throughout the lifecycle of many physical assets.
The planning process should include the stakeholders
which are involved directly and in some cases indirectly
with the physical assets. It is typically performed prior to
and in many cases during each stage of physical assetmanagement. Contributing factors such as end use,
utility, space and performance requirements, costs,
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management
28/80
Introduction to Physical Asset & Maintenance Management
28
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
maintenance requirements and expected longevity
should be considered. The lack of planning can cause
unnecessary delays with additional costs and can
jeopardize the effective implementation, commissioning
and use of a physical asset.
Engineering
Many organizations utilize one or more forms of
engineering regularly as it applies to physical assetmanagement. Reliability engineering is a skill that is used
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management
29/80
Introduction to Physical Asset & Maintenance Management
29
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
in many organizations to ensure that physical assets will
live up to their expectations and in many cases helps to
optimize physical asset performance. Engineering
functions are also utilized to comply with mandated
physical asset requirements. These requirements can
include fire, security, safety and health. Planned activities
such as expansions, relocations, construction,
fabrication, refurbishment, remodels, rebuilds,maintenance and upgrades also utilize engineering skills.
Required engineering skills include but are not limited to
mechanical, electrical, civil, architectural, maintenance,
reliability and structural to name a few.
Commissioning
The commissioning process involves ensuring that the
physical asset is ready for use. This is typically a quality
and compliance related activity that involves inspections
to ensure that the physical asset meets the definedrequirements, standards and expectations. The
inspections can include factors such as quality, health,
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management
30/80
Introduction to Physical Asset & Maintenance Management
30
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
safety, performance, reliability, efficiency as well as
meeting mandated federal, state and local requirements.
At the very least, the inspection process should involve a
checklist of items that need to be inspected and verified
prior to the release of the physical asset.
Energy & Utility Efficiency
Physical assets typically utilize one or more forms of
energy and utilities to perform their intended function.
Electricity, water and natural gas are commonly utilized.
All of these have their own associated costs. New
technologies and products continue to emerge that canprovide significant cost savings to organizations due to
increased energy efficiency. The manner in which utilities

are distributed and utilized affect several different
physical asset factors such as operating and maintenance
costs, performance and longevity.
Disasters & Emergencies
A commonly overlooked and underestimated factor that
may cause a significant financial impact to an
organization is disasters and emergencies. The continued
success of an organization can be dramatically affected
by not being prepared for mishaps. Proper planning and
implementation of the related programs provides a
significant form of risk mitigation. Disasters such as fires,tornados, hurricanes and earthquakes can devastate an
organizations ability to operate and provide their

intended services and products. All mission critical
systems should be evaluated and alternative solutions
need to be implemented that address how a disaster or
emergency will be handled and how the organization will
recover. Building and property maps that show locations
and waypoints are extremely useful for visitors and
employees. These maps should include evacuation
locations and routes.
Safety
The personnel that utilize physical assets are directly
affected by the way that these physical assets aredesigned, implemented, maintained and used. Safety
should be of major concern. Our environment can
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management
33/80
Introduction to Physical Asset & Maintenance Management
33
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
subject us to many hazards that are usually
unintentional. People should not be subjected to an
unsafe environment and conditions that could cause
injury or death. An organization that has environmental
dangers should ensure that appropriate measures such
as personnel protective equipment, showers, eyewash
stations, fire extinguishers, first aid stations, procedures,
signs and work instructions have been put in place, areenforced and monitored. Organizations within the United
States may also need to comply with Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) standards as they
apply. This includes safety programs for operating
vehicles and using hand and power tools and procedures
such as Lockout/Tagout.
A relatively simple concept that we should remember is
the fact that people are the reason why our business
succeeds and every effort should be made to keep them
safe. Safety related incidences can be extremely costlyand should be perceived and treated as unacceptable.

Security
Many physical assets require that security relatedmeasures, procedures, methods and infrastructure be
developed and put into place to help monitor and
protect the investments. These systems may include the
use of alarm, surveillance, access control and people.
These measures aid in controlling activities such as
vandalism, damage, theft and unauthorized access.

Ergonomics
The manner in which physical assets are designed and
implemented can have a significant impact on the user in
a physical way. Repetitive motions, actions and
uncomfortable positions that the user is subjected to can
cause impairments that can affect the users attitude,
health and ability to perform and function properly. The
physical environment that the user is exposed to should
be carefully analyzed and considered.

Quality
The quality of the individual components and theconstruction, fabrication, assembly methods and
workmanship that are utilized when creating, producing
and maintaining a physical asset will directly affect
factors such as reliability, dependability and longevity.
Continual physical asset failures will amount to excessive
costs. Poor quality will affect the success of an
organization and could eventually cause it to fail. The
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management

majority of people have high expectations when it comes
to quality. This is evident based on the success of
particular product sales compared to the price and
quality of similar products.
Information Technology
Computers, tablets, servers, telephones and networked
systems are all forms of physical assets and are used in
almost every organization in some way shape or form.
The majority of organizations cannot function properly
without the use of some or all of these. Data storage and
retrieval is of vital importance for organizations. Many
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management

38
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
types of physical assets employ the use of computer and
software technologies to function. These technologies
are also used to acquire physical asset performance and
utilization data.
Hazardous Materials
Some physical assets utilize, produce and are comprised
of hazardous materials. These materials can create
extremely dangerous situations that affect theenvironment and health of all living things. The
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management

organization should employ similar principles as was
described in the safety section to protect people.
Additionally, procedures and methods need to be
implemented that address the safe handling and disposal
of these materials as required by federal, state and local
agencies. The organization may also need to establish
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) stations. These data
sheets provide important information about materialcharacteristics for handling and first aid purposes. The
majority of hazardous materials require the involvement
of specialized services for proper disposal.

Waste Disposal & Recycling
The majority of organizations produce waste on a daily
basis. Portions of this waste such as paper, metal, plastic
and organic can be recycled. Recycling makes a lot of
sense. It conserves our natural resources and puts less in
the landfills. Organizations should have recycling
programs in place and provide the appropriatecontainers in designated areas for collection purposes.

Maintenance
Much of this book is dedicated to defining the
maintenance function as it relates to physical asset
management. This is due to the fact that maintenance is
an ongoing activity that typically has the most significant
impact on a physical asset throughout the physical assets
life. It affects factors such as; appearance, safety, health,
comfort, efficiency, reliability, productivity, longevity,
value and quality.
When properly defined and implemented, a maintenance
program will provide a value added service that ensures

one component can cause other components to fail as
well causing a domino effect. Reactive maintenance
scenarios are sometimes purposely put into place. This is
due to the fact that in some instances running to failure
does not have negative effects and it would be more
costly to have a preventive or predictive program in place
to counter the failure. The typical maintenance entity
within an organization is also utilized to performresponsive projects such as expansions, upgrades and
rebuilds to name a few.
We have identified four types of maintenance activities
that typically need to be accommodated as part of an
effective maintenance program. These are Preventive,
Predictive, Reactive and Responsive. A well planned
maintenance program will minimize any unwanted or
unacceptable reactive maintenance by implementing
preventive and predictive maintenance. It is extremely
important that these maintenance activities are trackedand recorded properly. The typical method for managing
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management

Introduction to Physical Asset & Maintenance Management
44
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
these activities is through the use of an inventory control
and work order system.
Many maintenance activities also require the use of
supplies and materials. Consumables such as cleaning
products, lubricants, paper products and spare parts for
buildings, machinery and equipment usually require
some type of inventory control system.
Personnel protective equipment and tools are also
needed to perform many maintenance activities. Many
organizations utilize a tool inventory system to monitor,
track and control the use of these.

Environmental Maintenance
Based on the condition that the majority of schools,
parks, stores, casinos, hotels, banks, restaurants,
hospitals, airports and theaters are kept in, it is apparent
that people prefer a clean, organized, manicured and
comfortable environment. In many cases, environments
like these contribute to positive feelings and thoughts.
This type of environment also requires that regularly
scheduled maintenance activities be performed. The
environment in which we live affects the attitude,productivity and efficiency of people. It leaves us with
positive or negative thoughts, feelings and impressions.

Maintenance Program
The way in which a maintenance program functions can
vary dramatically in different organizations. This is once
again influenced by the size and nature of the
organization. The required functions and activities can
vary considerably based on the types of physical assets
that are being maintained and the functions that they are
utilized for.
So where do we start? The success of a maintenance
program relies on several factors which we will discuss in
detail. Some of these factors include;
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management
48/80
Introduction to Physical Asset & Maintenance Management
48
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
Resources such as people, tools, materials andequipment.
Available and accurate information. Work flow structure and process. Accountability and traceability. Stakeholder support.
Resources are of vital importance. Lets face it, people
are your number one asset. The skills, experience and
knowledge that they possess should complement the
maintenance group and is a primary influencing factor
towards proper maintenance program implementation
and support. Collectively, and through proper guidance
and support, this group is what keeps the maintenance
engine running smoothly. People cant do the work
properly or efficiently without the right tools, materials,
parts and supplies. A properly managed, organized and
regularly monitored inventory control system is a must.Dont underestimate the amount of work that is required
to setup a detailed and functional inventory control
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management
49/80
Introduction to Physical Asset & Maintenance Management
49
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
system. Keep in mind that the objective should be to
provide true traceability and accountability for the
materials, parts, supplies and tools that will be used.
Accurate physical asset informationand documentation
is extremely important. This information is used to
determine a physical assets needs and requirements.
Preventive and predictive maintenance schedules are
typically derived through the use of this information. In
many instances, maintenance activities require service,
repair and support information. This information usually
includes specifications, documents, drawings and
manuals. The information that is collected and recorded
is invaluable. It provides historical data that can be used
to refine the maintenance program thus promoting
continual process improvement.
The following described work flow process or something
that resembles this description very closely is utilized in
many organizations. The maintenance work flowprocess
typically begins with either a regularly scheduled

maintenance activity that has already been defined or a
work request that has been submitted by an individual
that has a need for a task or project to be performed. In
either case, a work order is created. The work order is
either assigned to or accepted by an individual that will
complete the work order. The work order is the heart of
the maintenance program and can be quite involved. It
provides the traceability for maintenance activities andtypically includes a considerable amount of information
such as;
Assigned work order number. Original work request number. Work requestor name. Date that the work request was submitted. Date the work request is due. Type of work request Physical asset information. Type of work such as preventive, predictive,
reactive and responsive.

details such required skills, date that the work
was performed and task durations.
Services that were utilized. Material, supplies and parts that were used. Attachments such as photos and documents. Reactive work orders usually require additional
information such as failure type, investigativeobservations, problems, symptoms and findings,
root cause and recommended corrective
measures.

Maintenance Schedules
The majority of physical assets require that some type of
regularly scheduled preventive or predictive
maintenance activity is performed. These activities
should be carefully evaluated and determined. There is
such a thing as too much and also not enough
maintenance. Too much maintenance causes
unnecessary excessive costs. On the other hand, too little
maintenance can cause excessive reactive maintenance
or physical asset deterioration which will also lead toexcessive costs. In some cases, the balance between too
much and not enough may take some time to figure out

based on physical asset performance history. The nature
and type of physical asset including any supporting
information will usually aid in determining some or all of
the maintenance requirements.
Reactive Maintenance
In many cases, reactive maintenance, also known as Fire
Fighting, which is typically caused by a run to failure
scenario is the most costly form of maintenance. Many
physical assets are utilized in processes or for purposes
where they cannot be easily replaced due to significant
cost factors and play an important part in the image,success and reputation of the organization. It is usually in
the organizations better interest to minimize or even

Computerized Maintenance Management
As you can probably imagine, if an organization has
hundreds or even thousands of physical assets, the
required maintenance activities can be extremely
difficult to manage without the use of some type of
computerized system. Computerized maintenance
management has become an essential tool for many
organizations. In most cases and when properly
implemented, the majority of organizations find these
systems indispensable and couldnt imagine functioningproperly without them.

A Computerized Maintenance Management System
(CMMS) is typically based on some form of a database.
Databases collect information that is typically entered by
users. The database itself is usually comprised of a
frontend and a backend. The frontend is what is referred
to as the user interface. This is what the user sees and
utilizes to enter, view and extract information to and
from the backend. The backend usually consists of tablesor files that the information is stored in. Some form of
network connections are usually utilized to connect the
frontend (user computers and tablets) to the backend
(server).
CMMS Selection
The type of CMMS that is utilized is extremely important
towards the continued success and efficiency of a
maintenance group. A considerable amount of time and
money goes into the implementation of a successfulCMMS. Careful evaluation should go into physical asset
maintenance requirements and the maintenance

program itself. It is best to take some time and make a
list of the type of data that the organization wants to
track. The various available systems are different and
internal organizational structures and requirements
differ as well. Sometimes the ideally suited CMMS
requires customization to meet the organizations
requirements. Some forms of CMMS are quite complex
and be intimidating at first. The organization andstructure of the system needs to be carefully evaluated
and should be user friendly due to the fact that this
system will most likely be used daily by many people with
many different skill levels.
CMMS Implementation
The most time-consuming part of implementing a CMMS
is collecting and entering the required data. But this is
also one of the most important steps. Be prepared,
depending on the size of the organization and thequantity and complexity of the physical assets, it can take
several months and in some cases much longer to fully

60/80

60
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
implement a CMMS. But once implemented, the payoff is
realized relatively quickly. The amount of accurate,
detailed data or information that is entered into the
system is extremely important and will affect the
usefulness of the system. This step needs to be well
planned and not rushed. It is better to enter too much
data than not enough. This concept is also extremely
important once the CMMS is regularly utilized. Allpersonnel that utilize this system need to understand the
importance of entering detailed information whenever
using the system. The quality and usefulness of the
extracted information will only be as good as the
information that was originally entered.
The quality of a CMMS can vary dramatically based on
how it is designed. This design also affects the ease of
use, maintainability and the quality of data that can be
stored and extracted. The majority of CMMS systems
require that the following type of data is collected andentered into the system:
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management

61
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
Detailed physical asset information (assetregister).
Physical asset categories and identificationnumbers.
Personnel that will be using the system whichincludes requestors and resources.
Physical asset failure types. Physical asset locations. Reoccurring scheduled preventive & predictive
maintenance activities.
Inventories such as materials, supplies andtools.
Sources such as vendors and contractors. Skill types, resource qualifications and training
information.
In many cases, the CMMS also requires that a unique
numbering system is developed to identify items such as
physical assets, departments and inventory items.Careful thought should go into this identification system
prior to deciding what is best. It can be difficult and time
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management
62/80

62
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
consuming if this identification system needs to be
changed later. In the event that the organization has
their own accounting group, it may be wise to consult
them as well. The majority of organizations utilize the
CMMS data for multiple purposes including accounting.
Some forms of CMMS employ a purchasing system for
materials, supplies and parts. This can be advantageous
for small organizations or organizations that do not have
a dedicated purchasing function.
CMMS Training
Personnel training should be provided for the CMMS thatis selected. A good training program usually decreases
the learning curve that is required to get the CMMS up
and running. At a minimum, this training should be
provided to the personnel that are to configure and
administer the CMMS. This training is typically extended
to all of the users that will be processing work orders.

Audits
It is difficult to determine how effective a process or
system is if it is not evaluated from time to time. A good
audit process accomplishes this very task. A regularly
scheduled internal audit process is a must for every
organization that implements a physical asset and
maintenance management system. Audits aid in
uncovering or finding major and minor problems. They
are definitely and integral part of any continual process
improvement program. The intent of the audit process is
to provide a report that reveals the state and condition
of the process or system. If the audited process is
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management

functioning properly, the report should reveal that the
process or system is in complete compliance with the
expected requirements. Any violations are documented
and addressed with defined completion schedules and
tasks.
Internal or External MaintenanceHaving a streamlined internal maintenance group will
provide the following benefits to an organization;
Quick response and reduced physical assetdowntime.
Flexible scheduling of maintenance activities. Centralized asset management system. Reduced reactive maintenance. Managed spare parts, consumables and tools
inventory control system.
Schedule proactive, preventive and predictivemaintenance.

Maintenance activity traceability for historicalinformation such as asset cost, performance and
related audits.
Reduced maintenance cost compared tooutsourced services.
Cleaner, healthier, safer environment foremployees, customers and visitors.
Centrally managed, contractors, vendors andservices.
In some cases, quick response and reduced downtime
alone justifies the need for internal support. For
example, an organization could have a physical asset that
costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and it is almost
always utilized at near capacity. Or the situation could be
that several expensive physical assets are utilized in
series and depend upon each other to provide a service
or product. The unavailability of any of these physicalassets could present an unacceptable situation. This type
of scenario could easily justify the cost of having internal

support. Due to the type of business that an organization
participates in and the associated risks which may
involve life and limb, some organizations have a zero
tolerance for reactive maintenance and must have an
internal maintenance resource. Not having an internal
maintenance support function is simply not an option for
these organizations.
The size of an organization and the quantity and
complexity of physical assets and the associated risks are
the primary contributing factors as to whether
maintenance functions are provided by external or
internal sources. Many small organizations absorb and
perform routine maintenance functions by utilizing
various personnel within the organization. In these small
organizations, the physical asset and maintenance
management function is actually an informal process and
in many circumstances is fragmented throughout the
organization. More involved or complex maintenancetasks are usually outsourced. As an organization grows
and expands, maintenance demands usually increase as

maintenance group, it is highly recommended that a
professional be brought in to evaluate the organizations
maintenance needs and determine the best solution.
Some key issues that need to be considered are as
follows;
Justification based on individual physical assetmaintenance requirements which will translateinto labor, skill and material requirements.
The system that will be used to track the workthat is to be performed with labor and materials
traceability.
The manner in which the maintenance costs aredistributed through the organization.
The required leadership and stakeholdersupport.
Many medium to large organizations usually have a
refined internal maintenance entity within them.
Depending on the nature of the organization, this

internal entity can be very sophisticated with individual
departments for functions such as planning, engineering
and fabrication. Many of these organizations have
learned to embrace the maintenance function and realize
that they could not function efficiently and effectively
without it.
Multi Divisional Maintenance
Another area that many organizations struggle with is
when expansions are required that involve additional
remote locations or divisions of the organization. Theadditional locations may not have the justification for an

internal maintenance staff due to the size of the new
entity. This can provide a challenge as to how this entity
is maintained and managed. In many instances, remotely
managed maintenance can provide the solution. The
physical assets are tracked in a centralized maintenance
system and maintenance personnel or outsourced
services are coordinated as needed to accomplish the
required maintenance activities. As the entity grows andacquires additional physical assets, it may eventually
justify the existence of an internally managed
maintenance group.

Maintenance Skills
The skills that are required to perform maintenance tasks
vary considerably depending on the types of physical
assets that are to be maintained. The maintenance
personnel in small to medium size organizations usually
find themselves in situations where they have to be a
jack of all trades. This type of situation usually changes as
the organization grows because maintenance budgets
tend to increase accordingly as do quantities of similar
physical assets. This allows additional personnel to behired with more specialized skill sets. Skills such as HVAC,
machining, welding, mechanical, electrical, carpentry,

plumbing, painting, pipe fitting, pneumatic and hydraulic
are commonly employed.
Budgeting for Maintenance
Budgeting is an essential tool that is utilized to manage
physical asset and maintenance management. Budget
requirements can vary significantly depending on the size
and nature of an organization. It is easier to formulate a
maintenance budget in some industries and
organizations than others. Creating a budget for the first
time can be a difficult and time consuming task due to a
lack of information. Many issues and influencing factorsneed to be considered when attempting to create a
budget for the first time. One of them is the amount of
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management
73/80
Introduction to Physical Asset & Maintenance Management
73
FREEBOOK, 2014, Guido Pydde, Please Distribute Freely
reactive maintenance that is performed regularly and the
true associated costs such as the potential lost revenue
due to a lack of physical asset availability. Efforts that will
mitigate these reactive costs such as preventive and
predictive maintenance will also cost money to perform.
The labor required to perform these tasks will need to be
added to the maintenance budget.
The cost of regularly used outsourced services and
service contracts can be placed directly into the
maintenance budget. Many service contracts do not fully
implement a complete and comprehensive preventive
maintenance program for physical assets. They merely
provide a reactive service response when a failure occurs
at a predetermined cost that covers a specific time
period. Some of these service contracts may cover some
materials as well. The time that is required to perform
maintenance related activities by individuals within the
organization and the coordination of them can also beput into this budget. Project related activities require

Maintenance Costs
This is a topic that can be evaluated and applied in many
different ways and is once again influenced by several
factors such as the size and type of the organization, how
the maintenance function is structured and the types of
services or products that the organization provides.
Monitoring maintenance costs begins with implementing
a detailed system where these costs can be recorded.
This system should have different categories,
departments and areas where the costs can be assigned
as they occur. In many cases, a computerized system is

Introduction to Physical Asset & Maintenance Management
76

utilized for this purpose. The system should provide the
ability to generate reports for labor time and material
costs. These numbers can be further broken down as to
which physical asset they belong to. Usually, physical
assets are assigned to various departments and the
system should have the ability to provide the associated
costs to the affected departments and accounting.

If the system is setup correctly, the accumulated labor
costs can be charged to the various departments as a
percentage of the total labor maintenance cost. Parts,
materials and supplies are billed separately to the
associated departments based on the physical assets that
they were used for.
Maintenance Metrics
One of the benefits that can be extremely helpful in
monitoring and managing a maintenance group is theinformation that can be derived and analyzed based on
physical asset maintenance history. Organizations differ
8/13/2019 Introduction to Physical Asset and Maintenance Management

as to which key performance indicators they wish to
measure. These could include indicators such as mean
time between physical asset failures, failures within
specific time periods, labor performance measurements,
etc. Measurements such as these help in managing a
maintenance group more effectively and efficiently but
require that accurate information be gathered over time.
