1 Core Question 1: What Is The Current State Of My Assets? AMPLE Asset Management Program Learning Environment

2 Bottom Line: Emergent Industry Profile Increasing aggregate demand water and wastewater Diminishing available water resources Leveling of production efficiencies Increasing output restrictions Aging infrastructure Result: Increasingly expensive treatment options Aging customer base more and more on fixed income Diminishing technical labor pool running larger and more sophisticated plants and facilities Outflow of knowledge with retiring labor base Increasing resistance to rate increases Result: Increasingly complex management environment 2

3 The Changing Utility Business Environment Demands to do more with what we have got Need to better focus our capital & recurrent budgets Move from reactive based activities to a greater planned and predictive work environment Transition from being really good at building and operating assets to being really good at managing assets: Extending asset life and achieving acceptable reliability Optimizing maintenance, non-asset solutions Developing accurate long term funding models 3

4 The Consequences of Asset Failures Can Be Severe 4

5 All Assets Deteriorate and Eventually Fail... Unless they are properly maintained and renewed or replaced Sediment build-up up increasingly restricts flow Cleaning & relining adds 50 years life 5

8 The AAM Paradigm The capacity to produce output of value to a customer is directly related to sustained performance of the system of capital assets. Failures in the asset base directly affect system performance. Sustained system performance is the result of successfully managing failure within the asset base. The management of failure in the asset base is highly constrained by cost; that is, customers are not typically willing to pay for zero likelihood of failure. Different assets have different likelihood of failure as determined largely by materials used, operating environment, usage and maintenance. Failures vary substantially in consequence to the organization, that is, in terms of the production of valued output to the customer. Investment in capital (acquisition, operation, maintenance and renewal), then, should be directed by the likelihood of failure and its consequence to the customer and regulator. 8

9 By the end of this workshop you should be able to address these five questions: What is AM? Why do AM? What deliverables do I get? How to do it? How do I move forward? 9

10 The Nine Fundamental Building Blocks of AAM 1. Definition 2. The asset life-cycle 3. How assets fail 4. Risk-consequence 5. Cost/valuation 6. Asset demand 7. Level of service 8. Business risk 9. Confidence in decisionmaking CIP Asset Mgt Plans Strategic Initiatives Budgets O&M 10

11 Our Definition of AAM Advanced Asset Management ( AAM ) is a management paradigm and a body of management practices that is applied to the entire portfolio of infrastructure assets at all levels of the organization that seeks to minimize the total cost of acquiring, operating, maintaining and renewing the assets within an environment of limited resources while continuously delivering the service levels customers desire and regulators require Lowest-cost sustainable performance at an acceptable level of business risk to the organization. 11

12 This Workshop Focuses on Three Fundamental Management Decisions: What are my work crews doing and where are they doing it AND WHY!!? What CIP projects should be done and when? When to repair, when to rehab and when to replace? These decisions typically account for at least 80% of a Utility s annual expenditures! 12

19 Key to Sustainability Understanding Findings: Only a moderate relationship between preventive maintenance and failure 30 to 70% of equipment maintenance is misdirected!

20 Definitions Renewal: Repair normal periodic maintenance, minor in nature, anticipated in the normal operation of the asset; no enhancement of capabilities; typically funded by operating budget Refurbish/Rehabilitation replacement of a component part or parts or equivalent intervention sufficient to return the asset to level of performance above minimum acceptable level; may include minor enhancement of capabilities; typically funded out of capital budgets Replace Without enhancement substitution of an entire asset with a new or equivalent asset without enhancement of capabilities With enhancement - substitution of an entire asset with a new or equivalent asset with enhanced capabilities Non-Asset Solutions 20

21 Failure-mode Based Management Logic Some failures Are significant Are not significant Some of these Is preventive maintenance effective? Cannot be prevented by maintenance Can be prevented by maintenance Yes No Redesign, replace overhaul Run to failure, repair Program these for maintenance Repair failures & monitor 21

30 The Five Core AM Questions Core Questions 1. What is the current state of my assets? What do I own? Where is it? What condition is it in? What is its remaining useful life? What is its economic value? 2. What is my required sustained Level Of Service? What is the demand for my services by my stakeholders? What do regulators require? What is my actual performance? 3. Given my system, which assets are critical to sustained performance? How does it fail? How can it fail? What is the likelihood of failure? What does it cost to repair? What are the consequences of failure? 4. What are my best minimum life-cycle-cost CIP and O&M strategies? What alternative management options exist? Which are most feasible for my organization? 5. Given the above, what is my best long-term funding strategy? 30
