Commitment & Sustainability

Ensuring that the asset management program has the full commitment of the organization is a vital component in its successful implementation.

A team approach has been successfully adopted in many organizations, to develop the most appropriate improvement plan using a "no fault" forward-looking perspective.

When structured correctly, the program ensures that the organization realizes that its service is delivered by the whole organization and that the asset management improvement program must get universal acceptance across all stakeholders.

Sustainability is enshrined in the periodic re-evaluation of the organization's progress.

Tools like gap analysis can assist with determining new target areas where the most significant differences can be made.

The continuous identification of 'quick wins', as depicted in the following diagram, will assist the organization in achieving cultural change and maintaining the momentum of the asset management program.

Commitment to the asset management program will improve with time, as employees see the difference that is being made.
