10:00 am - PAS-55 Specification For The Optimized Management Of Physical Infrastructure Assets (1.2 Meg PDF) by Alan Laird,  The Woodhouse Partnership Ltd.
Many directors & analysts think "Asset Management" is all about corporate mergers & acquisitions, Return on Capital Employed and 'asset stripping'. Others have grabbed the phrase to mean 'more professional maintenance', or 'equipment tagging and tracking', or 'asset information & work management software'. A multi-sector initiative in Europe, backed by the British Standards Institute has now published PAS-55, to clear the air a bit and define what a joined-up physical asset management system needs to include. It requires a life cycle view and optimal mixture of capital investments, operations, maintenance, resources, risks, performance and sustainability, and it is already being adopted by industry regulators as a checklist of good governance (all electricity and gas distributors must be PAS-55 by 2008).
