3 Systematic and coordinated activities and practices through which an organization optimally and sustainably manages its assets and asset systems, their associated performance, risks and expenditures over their lifecycles for the purposes of achieving its organizational strategic plan. (Publicly Available Specification (PAS) )

4 Current State: Aging infrastructure Scarce capital and need for optimal investment strategies Inadequate or silo d data-- inventory and life-cycle condition Increasing demand on port assets public (e.g., environmental) and commercial (e.g., customer requirements) Increasing demands on port data, including asset value (e.g., privatization due diligence) Aging workforce and loss of institutional knowledge Public policy trends (federal and state/provincial) Run-to-failure maintenance practices Consequences: Productivity declines Excessively high maintenance costs, longer down times Growing customer and public dissatisfaction Staff morale declines ( fixing the same thing over and over ) Misplaced investment priorities Unknown liabilities for port operated and for leased facilities Suboptimal financial reporting/insurance coverage

5 Inertia: We ve got it covered, I m not doing my job? Entrenched business processes corporate culture What I don t know won t hurt me.? Competing priorities: AM is on the front burner, and it sits there with 20 other front burner issues Front-loaded commitment of resources people, time and money Lack of clear, feasible goals--where to start? Lack of early stage, visible successes Lack of top-level management commitment Frustration with consultants selling too much, or not the right stuff
