  1. What is Asset Management? County Road Association of Michigan March 22, 2000 Sue McNeil Professor Carnegie Mellon University Visiting Professor University of Minnesota

  2. Questions? • How much should you spend on signs versus equipment? • How much should you spend on maintenance versus expansion? • What resources will you need 10 years from now?

  3. Outline • Overview and status • Performance and asset value • Where to next?

  4. Asset Management: A Tool for Managing Highway Assets Overview

  5. Overview and Status • Asset management definitions/goals/attributes • Asset management components • History • Status of asset management in the US • So why do agencies need asset management? • Examples

  6. Overview and Status Asset Management Definitions • . . . is a systematic process of maintaining, upgrading, and operating physical assets cost-effectively • . . . Combines the use of sound engineering principles, accepted business practices, and economic theory to improve the decision-making process

  7. Goals • To provide ready access to quantitative and qualitative data • To facilitate decision-making based on data • To utilize principles drawn from economics, accounting, risk management, and customer service models • To ensure efficient resource allocation and asset optimization

  8. Attributes Required to Realize Benefits • Common performance measures and criteria • User-friendly environment • Customer focus • Accessibility within agency • Flexibility • Link to technical, management, and budgetary processes • Exchange of information

  9. Quantifiable Objectives • Enhance knowledge of inventory and asset value • Develop links that tie resource allocations to savings from replacement • Establish standardized processes and protocols • Consider life-cycle costing

  10. Benefits of AMS • Improve program quality • Improve information and access to information • Facilitate economic assessment of various tradeoffs • Improve documentation of decisions • Improve information on return on investment and value of investments • Reduce short-and long-term costs

  11. Asset Management Concept

  12. Components of an AMS • Asset inventory • Location/Asset Referencing System • A centralized database • Analysis tools • Reporting tools

  13. Components(FHWA) Goals and Policies Asset Inventory Condition Assessment and Performance Modeling Budget/Allocations Alternatives Evaluation and Program Optimization Short and Long- Range Plans Program Implementation Performance Monitoring

  14. Asset Inventory Analysis Modules Central Database Location/ Asset Referencing Systems Report Modules Graphics - Summaries - Map Links Framework for AMS

  15. Asset Inventory System • Identification of assets included • Inventory of basic characteristics • Assessment of asset conditions • Estimate of asset age

  16. Location/Asset Referencing System • Geographic location • Reference system • Identifiers for equipment

  17. BMS Revenues Project BMS Maintenance Accounting Pavement Safety Data Congestion Budgeting Permits Contracts Equipment Materials District and Local Offices Central Database • Contains inventory information • Facilitates exchange of information

  18. Analysis Modules • Forecast of Future Conditions • Impact Analysis of Various Scenarios

  19. Reporting Modules • Presentation of Inventory Information • Presentation of Analysis Results • Formats: • Graphics • Tables • Maps

  20. Asset Management versus Managing Assets • History • Survey - Status of Asset Management in the United States.

  21. History • 1970’s - pavement management • 1980’s - bridge management • 1990’s - asset management

  22. Recognition of common characteristics Projects/ components are parts of networks Long time horizons Presence of trade-offs Indivisibility Variability in space and time Subject to design standards Subject to deterioration Subject to uncertainty Exhibit many modes of failure Hierarchical decision process Background

  23. 1991 - ISTEA 1994- Road Asset Management Guideline - Austroads 1995 - Report on Current Practice - Australia 1996 - AASHTO/FHWA Workshop - Public Private Perspectives 1997 - AASHTO/FHWA Workshop - The Future AASHTO Task Force formed History

  24. History • 1998 • New York State - Concept Plan • AASHTO Task Force Strategic Plan • TAC - Primer on Highway Asset Management • APWA - Asset Management for the Public Works Manager • 1999 • FHWA - Office of Asset Management formed • OECD Asset Management Systems Working group • FHWA/AASHTO Workshop (December) • FHWA Primer on Asset Management

  25. Status of Asset Management in the United States • Survey Questions • Inventory of Assets • Investment Decisions • Workshop Agenda • Responses

  26. Survey Responses Received responses from states in grey

  27. Survey Responses (CONTINUED) • Number of Responses -- 33 • Points of Contact for Asset Management • none -- 12, one -- 13, more than one -- 8 • States with Inventories -- 33 • average per state -- 9 • inventories with conditions -- 66% • States with Management Systems -- 32 • average per state -- 7 • inventories with performance indicators -- 70%

  28. Survey Responses (CONTINUED) • States Attempting Asset Valuation -- 13 • replacement cost -- 10 • historic expenditures -- 6 • equivalent value -- 5 • other -- 2 Other includes HPMS Financial Analysis package and investment/fair market basis.

  29. Survey Responses (CONTINUED) • States Using Decision Making Tools -- 32 • cost-benefit analysis -- 29 • life-cycle costing -- 28 • trade-off analysis -- 9 • quantitative investment analysis -- 4 • other -- 9 Other includes citizen and political input, value engineering, grade crossing hazard ratings, first cost, threshold levels, and highway needs analysis.

  30. Survey Responses (CONTINUED) • Apply tools across modes -- 7 • Analysis to allocate capital vs. maintenance -- 10 • CBA of major maintenance expenditures -- 11 • CBA for operational improvements -- 11 • Evaluate how expenditure improves system -- 17 • Relate budget expenditures to system performance -- 22 • Automatic updating of systems based on expenditures -- 13

  31. Survey Responses -Conclusion • Many states have elements of asset management • for specific types of assets • for specific activities • Examples include • Performance based programming • Integrated maintenance management • Integrated management systems • Preservation and improvement tradeoffs

  32. Why do agencies need asset management? • Aging infrastructure • Preservation, and good business practices provide a foundation • Customer focus means a shift in emphasis from outputs to performance • Demand for better accountability • Magnitude of the investment • Asset management is a vehicle for delivering

  33. Premises • One size does not fit all • Champions are needed • Dependent on a corporate database • Builds on content, concepts and substance of other management systems • Recognize that organizations have frequent leadership changes, and need to develop a means for continuity in asset management

  34. Examples - how asset management is used • New York State • Washington State • Montana

  35. NYSDOT’s Program Update Process • Tradeoff analysis • Using forecasts to set program goals and allocations • Examples:

  36. NYSDOT’s Program Update Process • Executive Level Review • Looking across programs and regions • Direct result of asset management.

  37. Washington State DOT • Use asset management for 20-year forecasting of revenues and costs • Example:

  38. Highway System Plan Existing Revenues (11.4) Historical Revenue Increases (18.3) Fully Funded Plan (41.0) 20 Year Costs (5) (3) (6) (1) (2) (7) (4) (8) (5) Environmental Retrofit (0.74) (1) Maintenance (2.72) (6) Economic Init. (1.09) (2) Traffic Ops. (0.45) (7) Core HOV Lanes (1.69) (3) Preservation (4.75) (8) Mobility (27.33) (4) Safety (2.11) 1999-2018 (1997 Billion $) 20 Year Revenue Scenarios $0.0 $41.0 $11.4 $18.3 PPSC 6/17/97

  39. Montana DOT • Similar budget to some counties • Asset management is part of the performance planning process • Examples:

  42. Asset Management: A Tool for Managing Highway Assets Performance and Asset Valuation

  43. Performance • What is it? • Why is it important? • What have we learned?

  44. Performance What is it? Operational indicators: e.g miles of road accidents, roughness Mission: smooth, safe, economic and efficient road systems • Link between the user and the physical asset Stakeholders: service providers private and commercial road users, policy makers & regulators [Modified from Paterson and Humplick]

  45. Performance Why is it important? • Fundamental concept • Provides link to decision making • Critical to identifying the true value of assets • Foundation for performance based planning

  46. Performance What have we learned? • For example, Minnesota • Three areas: • System performance • Public values/issues • Organizational Performance

  47. System Performance Time/ Directness Safety Condition of infrastructure Access/ Basic service levels Public values/issues Environment Socioeconomics Organizational Performance Performance/ Productivity Progress towards targeted focus areas Performance Minnesota -
