Improving Services thru Entitlement and Technology

IMC-2017 Learning Session - 38:48
by David Auton, Cushman and Wakefield Services

All organizations face cost and performance challenges to remain competitive. Additionally, all organizations want to improve and demonstrate good stewardship of their facilities. The reality is that all organizations have process based components that can be assessed to determine the potential performance within existing structures. This presentation strives to help leaders understand how basic awareness of process capability and simple measures can be applied to what are often obscure processes and can be used to identify improvement opportunities. The approaches to determine what actions may be necessary to achieve improvements are reviewed with examples. Methods to estimate the impact of process improvements, technology and tools are reviewed. Using a pragmatic approach, organizations can quickly determine if proposed technology investments are warranted and reasonable.

Smart Infrastructure Asset Management

IMC-2017 Learning Session - 41:20
by Michael Salvato, Metropolitan Transportation Authority

Productivity in infrastructure management is lower than it was 20 years ago. Infrastructure providers have not benefited from modern approaches to management and information technologies available for complex engineering systems and enterprises. Asset management systems, as defined by ISO 55000, outline the management requirements and capabilities necessary for smart Infrastructure, integrated supply chain management, more sustainable and resilient built environment, and better steward of our natural heritage. Smart infrastructure, resulting from the convergence of digital technologies with physical infrastructure, requires a radical paradigm shift in how critical infrastructure systems are managed to support lifecycle optimization and decision making to realize the value for money of continuously improving outcomes.

Optimizing Asset Management in Design Processes - Looking Outside the Box

IMC-2017 Learning Session - 42:45
by Lanny Floyd, University of Alabama at Birmingham

This session will explore lessons from a standard outside the domain of asset management: ANSI/ASSE Z590.3 – 2011 Prevention through Design Guidelines for Addressing Occupational Hazards and Risks in Design and Redesign Processes. This standard provides guidance for a life-cycle assessment and design model that balances environmental and occupational safety and health goals over the life span of a facility, process, or product. While the purpose of this standard is to enable an organization to reduce occupational safety & health risks, its methodology can be applied to reducing risks impacting asset performance. Organizations may realize benefits of aligning resources and processes impacting asset management and occupational safety & health.
