George Dfouni's brief knowledge about asset management

With most of the innovations that happen in today's world, it's a great deal important that you simply keep track of all the cash that you just have invested in a method or the opposite.

It should happen that what once was considered an asset and invested in doesn't hold much importance now. However, it has to be taken care of.

This could be done better by the correct asset management solution and even the utmost cover is often availed on the assets. As by hiring the best asset manager like George Dfouni. He is from New York and has huge knowledge about managing the asset.

  1. With most of the innovations that happen in today's world,

    it's a great deal important that you simply keep track of all the cash that you just have invested in a method or the opposite. It should happen that what once was considered an asset and invested in doesn't hold much importance now. However, it has to be taken care of. This could be done better by the correct asset management solution and even the utmost cover is often availed on the assets. As by hiring the best asset manager like George Dfouni. He is from New York and has huge knowledge about managing the asset.
  2.  What is Asset Management?  Why Asset Management? 

    Element 1: A Structured Program  Element 2: Specified Service Levels  Element 3: Minimizing Costs of Asset Ownership  Element 4: Aligning Costs and Service Levels 3
  3.  Computer system?  Tools & Techniques?  Planning Procedures?

     Decision Methodology?  New Business Process? 5 Well, maybe all of the above, but mostly…
  4. 6 “Asset management is a structured program to deliver the

    service levels your customers require while minimizing the whole-life costs of asset ownership.” Let’s look at this definition closely…
  5.  AM is highly structured  Asset decisions are made

    in repeatable and supportable ways, based on good data!  AM’s structure always includes continuous improvement cycles 7 “Asset management is a structured program to deliver the service levels your customers require while minimizing the whole-life costs of asset ownership.”
  6.  AM doesn’t want to deliver the optimum service—it wants

    to deliver specified levels of service  These levels are selected based on service level/cost tradeoffs  Ideally, service levels are “agreed” with customers in full knowledge of those tradeoffs 8 “Asset management is a structured program to deliver the service levels your customers require while minimizing the whole-life costs of asset ownership.”
  7.  All asset decisions (acquire, maintain, refurbish, replace) are made

    on a life cycle basis  Each decision minimizes the present value of all future ownership costs  Costs must include economic, environmental, and social costs (“triple bottom line”)  Decisions must consider risk costs 9 “Asset management is a structured program to deliver the service levels your customers require while minimizing the whole-life costs of asset ownership.”
  8.  AM is intensely customer-focused  What levels of service

    do our customers need?  How can we deliver these services at the lowest cost?  In a mature AM organization, this is an automatic way of thinking! 10
  9.  Know the condition of your system and its value

     Optimize asset lives  Optimize Operation & Maintenance (O&M)  Optimize Removal & Replacement (R&R)  Balance O&M versus capital expenditures for lowest life-cycle cost  Allocate resources to where they’re needed—and away from where they’re not 13
  10.  Much infrastructure was “free,” contributed by developers or grant

    funds  This “hidden treasure,” usually not reflected in utility rates, is getting old and is enormously expensive to replace  Lack of AM means that huge bills are coming due without the means to pay 14
  11.  Service levels tied to expenditures  Unnecessary capital investment

    minimized  Life-cycle cost approach means costs and benefits better balanced  Better allocation of day-to-day and long-term resources  Overall, improved delivery of value and not just delivery of service 15
  12. 18

  13.  Two components  Where are we now, and 

    Where do we want to be?  Evaluate both, then do a “gap analysis”  The overall AM Plan and the individual action plans must support closing the gaps 19
  14. 21  Getting Buy-In  Understanding Risk  Understanding Financial

    Impacts  Understanding Tools and Decision Frameworks  Understanding the Organization’s Culture Life-Cycle Costs Service Levels
  15.  Clean, safe drinking water (all regulatory guidelines met, sampling

    done, zero IPS Points)  Zero air vac failures  Zero pumping system failures during peak season  Zero PRV station failures  Unnacounted for water losses < 15% 22
  16. 23 Total cost Low High Low High Level of Service

    Life of asset NPV of Community cost
  17.  O&M sees: Trucks, crews, pumps, etc.  Engineering sees:

    Studies, capital costs (concrete and steel)  Finance sees: Interest, other financial costs  IT sees: Cost of IT systems (CMMS, other O&M support, GIS, productivity, etc.)  Few see: Internal and external overhead 25
  18.  USEPA estimates that good AM will result in at

    least a 20 percent reduction in asset ownership costs  How significant are asset ownership costs? Question: What would our annual budget be if we had no infrastructure to manage?  The difference between this and our budget now can be attributed to ownership of assets 26
  19. Asset: Deep Well & Pump Station  Consider Capital Costs

     Consider Annual Operating Costs  Consider Annual Maintenance Costs  Consider Annual Repair & Replacement Costs  Add Costs and Prepare NPV Cost 27
  20.  Replace pipes? Reduce risk of water main breaks and

    outages  Monitor pumping Reduce risk of water stations? outages  Have redundant pumps? Reduce risk of asset failure and water outages  Do preventive Ditto maintenance?  Increase system capacity? Reduce risk of capacity- related delivery constraints 29
  21. 30 Consequences ($) Likelihood of Failure L M H H

    M L Concentrating Your Efforts
  22.  Risk cost is an inherent cost of asset ownership

     It is measured in dollars per year  It is the product of the likelihood of an event and the dollar consequence of that event  Once we know the risk cost, we can make rational decisions on reducing risk  We’re now managing risk! 31
  23. 32 Risk Cost = Measured in Dollars/Year Frequency of Failure

    (Projected events per year) Consequence of Failure (Dollar cost of each event) X
  24.  Average towing bill: $240  Average frequency of needing

    a tow for your make/model of car: 8 years  Annualized risk cost: $240 x 1/8 = $30  Add overhead and profit: $10  Insurance company assumes your risk cost of towing: $40 a year 33
