Asset-intensive organizations require good asset information management

摘要

ARC Advisory Group has written extensively on the important topic of asset information management (AIM). While numerous cultural and organizational issues come into play, technology clearly provides the foundation for every AIM program. It provides the means for organizations to efficiently collect, organize and manage the volumes of drawings, lists, specs, manuals and databases associated with a typical capital asset investment. It also enables organizations to sustain the integrity of this information throughout the asset life cycle with consistent enforcement of proper quality management processes. Finally, it empowers every asset management stakeholder with convenient access to the information he or she needs to work safely, accurately and efficiently.
