On Top of Asset Management

摘要

We've cited this figure for years, but when it comes to fleet excellence, it's a key one to remember. According to research conducted by the Construction Financial Management Association, 80 percent of the average construction organization's capital assets are in iron. That's right. The equipment manager bears the responsibility for ensuring the cost-effective management of an organization's largest investment: its fleet of construction equipment. This role remains an under-appreciated one in many construction organizations. Almost 10 years ago, we partnered with the Association of Equipment Management Professionals (AEMP) to put a stop to that and to raise up professionals that excel in meeting the unique challenges in performing this role. The Fleet Masters program acknowledged its first two fleets in 2004. In March, we recognized the 13th and 14th winners: Insituform and Austin Bridge & Road. We present their stories inside, on pages 32 and 34, respectively.
