Each chapter focuses on specific parts of this life cycle and explains how the methods and techniques described are connected and how they improve the asset life cycle, thus treating this important subject from a unique perspective.

Book Performance Indicators for Water Supply Services

Download or read book Performance Indicators for Water Supply Services written by Helena Alegre and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The IWA Performance Indicator System for water services is now recognized as a worldwide reference. Since it first appearance in 2000, the system has been widely quoted, adapted and used in a large number of projects both for internal performance assessment and metric benchmarking. Water professionals have benefited from a coherent and flexible system, with precise and detailed definitions that in many cases have become a standard. The system has proven to be adaptable and it has been used in very different contexts for diverse purposes. The Performance Indicators System can be used in any organization regardless of its size, nature (public, private, etc.) or degree of complexity and development. The third edition of Performance Indicators for Water Supply Services represents a further improvement of the original manual. It contains a reviewed and consolidated version of the indicators, resulting from the real needs of water companies worldwide that were expressed during the extensive field testing of the original system. The indicators now properly cover bulk distribution and the needs of developing countries, and all definitions have been thoroughly revised. The confidence grading scheme has been simplified and the procedure to assess the results- uncertainty has been significantly enhanced. In addition to the updated contents of the original edition, a large part of the manual is now devoted to the practical application of the system. Complete with simplified step-by-step implementation procedures and case studies, the manual provides guidelines on how to adapt the IWA concepts and indicators to specific contexts and objectives. This new edition of Performance Indicators for Water Supply Services is an invaluable reference source for all those concerned with managing the performance of the water supply industry, including those in the water utilities as well as regulators, policy-makers and financial agencies.

Book Asset Management Implementation Plan and Tiered System Process

Download or read book Asset Management Implementation Plan and Tiered System Process written by Michael J. Markow and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study has developed a five-year transportation asset management plan for the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). This study has also developed a proposed tiering structure of the state highway system to support asset management. Asset management represents a strategic approach to managing transportation infrastructure. It embodies a set of principles to improve how an agency conducts business, how it reaches decisions, and how it processes, uses, and communicates information. CDOT, in consultation with the Colorado Transportation Commission, has already taken a number of steps toward improved asset management. A unique Investment Category approach organizes program investments within a policy-oriented framework incorporating explicit measures of performance. Other steps taken by CDOT include updates of the statewide planning process and the program prioritization process, establishment of maintenance program levels of service, institution of customer surveys, and updates of relevant information technology applications. The recommended transportation asset management plan builds upon these established concepts, methods, information, and tools to propose specific actions over the next five years in the following areas: (1) completion of all elements of the Investment Category structure; (2) incorporation of asset management principles in CDOT's planning and programming processes, building on a tiered structuring of CDOT assets that has also been recommended in this study; (3) integration of asset management information on a GIS platform, and renewal of Information Technology strategic planning to support asset management department-wide; and (4) strengthening of program delivery mechanisms and measures. The recommended tiering of the state highway system is built around the concept of interregional corridors, because CDOT is the sole provider of significant interregional highway transportation.
