Influence of Human Resources on Implementation of Guidelines for Engineering Asset Management: A Case Study

摘要

With increasing recognition of the multidisciplinary nature of managing assets, many organisations that depend on engineered artifacts like infrastructure, equipment, machinery, and plant are curious to benchmark performance against an international standard like ISO 55000. In this regard, engineering asset management (EAM) performance depends on how well employees execute their duties as they implement policy guidelines for managing such engineered assets. This paper describes a firm level study of the influence of human resources on the implementation of asset management policies. Employees' attitude, cognition and mental preferences are proposed as useful constructs for evaluating human dimensions in engineering asset management (EAM).
