Asset Management Plans (AMPs) | All Member Open Forum (2024)

I'm going to write Asset Management Plans (AMP's) for our major equipment types, (pumps, motors, VFD's, generators, and other drinking water treatment equipment). Does anyone have a template they would be willing to share? From the research I've done so far it should include the following sections. Looking for something simple and not finding a good simple template out there on the internet. Thanks everyone!

Contents of the Asset Management Plan (AMP)

1. Executive summary
2. Introduction
3. Asset Class Information
4. Owners & Stakeholders
5. Levels of Service (LOS)
6. Life Limiting Factors
7. Health, Safety, & Environment
8. Asset Lifecycle
9. Financial (Budget & Capital)
10. Risks and Risk Management
11. Improvement Plan & Actions
12. Conclusion
13. Appendices

Jennifer,
You're off to a good start as you have the important subjects covered. I've worked on AMPs for different utilities over the past several years, and each had a slightly different take on how to write AMPs because they have different goals in mind. I recommend considering who the audience of the AMPs will be (e.g. top leadership, external stakeholders, asset managers) and tailoring your format to be the most impactful for them.

Also, are you writing the AMPs as stand-alone plans, or as the details that feed into a Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP)? Consider what information is most appropriate at the business unit or company-level (SAMP) and what is asset class-specific (AMP).

I've found this template for an AMP to work for most asset classes:

1. Overview/Executive Summary
2. Background and Scope
3. Levels of Service
   1. Current
   2. Future
4. Asset Lifecycle Management
   1. Risk Management
   2. Operations Plan
   3. Maintenance Plan
   4. Capital Plan
   5. Disposal Plan
5. Financial Summary
6. Continual Improvement
7. Supplemental Information

I hope I've provided some good info for you to think about. Writing effective AMPs takes a significant amount of effort, but they're one of the most important pieces of a successful asset management program.

Thanks for your kind words, Jennifer, If I can help you in any way, please don't hesitate to ask.

FYI, we are currently in the process of updating our SAMP template to bring it more in line with our current thinking regarding the best structure for this document, based on our experience in helping our client to create these documents. And we are also updating our free e-book "Complete guide to Implementing ISO 55000" at the same time.

In our experience, if you follow the guidance provided by ISO in the 2018 version of ISO 55002 regarding the content of a SAMP then this leads "shelfware" - a very large document that is difficult to maintain, is not targeted at any particular audience for any particular use, and therefore doesn't get used, other than being wheeled out periodically to satisfy an ISO audit requirement. Our article athttps://www.assetivity.com.au/article/asset-management/asset-management-strategy-vs-strategic-asset-management-plan-samp-has-iso-got-it-wrong.htmlexplains our thinking on this. Hence the forthcoming update to the template and e-book.

Thanks again, and wishing you the best as you write these documents.

Regards...

Joe,
I am unable to sign up on the IAM site. It keeps telling me that my email does not entitle me to a corporate discount, even though I am attempting to join as an individual.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

For SMRP Members, this page provides access to the IAM Form for logging signing up.

https://smrp.org/About/Partners/IAM-Agreement

I have been made aware that there may be a problem with processing, particularly if you supply a credit card. The IAM office in the UK is researching the problem that was reported. You should be given a discount code to enter into the IAM form and this should be provided by your SMRP contact.

As soon as this is worked out, I will post an update.

Lawrence,

The current working method to accomplish this is to provide your SMRP Membership information to the IAM Office at: Office@theIAM.org

They will happily process your request.
