Our Asset Management Plans are:

  • Fully compliant with regulatory requirements

Why It Matters

An Asset Management Plan is a strategic tool for maximizing the value of assets. By aligning your plan with your goals, you get a clear understanding of your assets’ value and condition, which allows you to:

Unify all asset, maintenance, and financial data in a centralized platform to support decision-making

Forecast long-range maintenance and replacement costs to improve budgeting and resource allocation

Align with organizational goals to evaluate asset risk, condition, and value for strategic investment decisions

Prioritize maintenance and repair needs based on risk and criticality assessments to maximize service levels and extend asset life

Serve as a single source of truth for all asset information, ensuring accurate data for regulatory compliance and strategic planning

Asset Management Plan vs. Strategy

The Asset Management Plan (AMP) and the Asset Management Strategy are not interchangeable; they serve fundamentally different functions. The Strategy is a high-level, corporate roadmap focused on improving organizational capacity and governance, while the AMP is a tactical, departmental document focused specifically on asset performance and maintenance.

The table below clarifies these key differences:
