1 The Railways Asset Management Maturity Model GianPiero Pavirani

2 Document UIC AM WORKING GROUP UIC AM Guidelines published September 2010 Scope of asset management Eight key steps defining an AM system for railway infrastructure asset Definition of an AM Framework components Cross Reference to PAS 55

3 The needs of a Railway infrastructure AM maturity Self Assessment The members of the AMWG agreed to assess the AM activities of their own organizations within the scope of framework stated on guide lines by means of a self assessment questionnaire. The AMWG has analyzed a number of self assessment approaches but realized that are not sufficiently address the specific needs of rail Infrastructure Managers. Subsequently, it was decided, that a tailor-made questionnaire would best serve the needs. PROJECT OBJECTIVES Enable a self-assessment of the management of rail infrastructure assets in order to identify the level of maturity of the processes applied within the UIC asset management framework. Enable the rail Infrastructure Managers to optimize its processes and activities to deliver the performances requested by its customers, funders and other stakeholders. Facilitate to benchmark against others Improve comparability between the execution of core activities as defined by the asset management framework, and enable Infrastructure Managers to Improve their own approach by learning from other Infrastructure providers

4 The road map for the AM Maturity self assessment questionnaire At the last has been introduced the concept of maturity to evaluate the growth and development of framework components and their activities or actions.

5 1.Definition of framework components Column A in the questionnaire. components of framework are macro elements of analysis. The framework reference is defined on Guide lines publishes by UIC. Framework components have a logical order as numbered in the graphical chart. Asset information Risk management LCC tools Business processes Competencie s Supply chain management ENABLING MECHANISMS 1. Network objectives 2.

Timetable and plans access planning 10. Network 9. Execution of work operation Audits KPIs Managem ent reviews Corrective actions REVIEWING MECHANISMS

6 2. Definition of main processes for each component Column B in the questionnaire. The main process characteristics for each component are defined. The specified processes are micro analyzed. The processes addressed applying the following principles: Component definition given on the UIC AM guide line; Based on own organization experience. Based on customization derived from logical order of each component (e.g.) : Fix starting Point; Define referring targets; develop alternative strategic approaches and evaluate them decide on strategic approach to pursue; derive action.

7 3. Description of processes 3 Column C in the questionnaire The process is described trough its relevant characteristics. For that, is useful to compare every single process with of review/enabling mechanism.

8 4. Definition of questions 3 Column E in the questionnaire At this step we formulate the appropriate questions related to the each item.

9 5. Definition of possible answers characteristics, fine tuned on 6 maturity level of Asset management. Columns H-M in the questionnaire For every question are defined 6 different answers for each maturity level most compliant with railways organization. In the Chart a guide to find the right answers are descript the adopted structure for maturity levels.

10 Necessity of develop an advanced excel Tool Was agreed, that to manage a simply file excel with 10 sheet for to fill the complete questionnaire would serve an IT Tool in excel environment but using the capability of "Visual Basic" forms and commands. This tool also enable the following possibility: Allows a comparison of different practices in similar contexts. The model of analysis is set to evaluate maturity not only at a global macro level but also at a detailed micro level. The global evaluation maturity, is measured according to the components as defined in the framework. The detailed evaluation maturity is measured process/activities defined for each framework component. The Network to define the roadmap of improvements in performance through the evolution towards higher levels of maturity needs to refer the Network best pratices, and thus will give a reference value to activities, of a managerial, technical, organizational or global nature, which allow the implementation of these elements.

11 The Excel Tool A form to manage input and output data Input Buttons Output Buttons

12 A form multipage for read the questionnaire and evaluate your answers

13 Why a multipage Tool? The Tool is capable to contain and analysis data of AM maturity of 9 organizations all the data (input output are managed in anonymous This able AM WG to do benchmark and for each process/ activities individualize a best practices organisation

14 Output analysis eg. Network H

15 Network H analysis from macro to micro From macro TO micro

16 Output for macro benchmark
