Abstract (Presentation Description) / Résumé (description de la présentation)
PEMAC, FMC, Toronto Metropolitan University, and municipal experts across Canada have partnered on a project entitled “Leveraging Municipal Asset Master Data and Information for Maintenance and Reliability Readiness.” In this project, a survey of Canadian municipalities has been conducted to determine how asset data and information are collected, when, and how it is set up in various systems across the asset's lifecycle stages. This presentation will highlight the results of this survey and make recommendations of potential improvements specifically related to setting up maintenance and reliability for success. Many municipalities have been struggling with such improvement areas for years to set-up processes, procedures and systems.
The survey consisted of three sections. Section 1 included questions about general municipality information (e.g. size, department, asset, and class). Section 2 contained six questions for each of the 23 subcategories of asset master data and information. The 23 asset subcategories included asset number, description, classification, location, value, lifecycle dates and costs, maintenance, insurance, failure, and performance. The asset subcategories also included installation date, estimated end-of-life date, functional location, as-built drawings, warranty and maintenance, federal financial reporting, financial data, O&M manual, maintenance activities, strategy, notification, and resource. Section 3 contained questions related to two aspects of the asset management system (a) analysis and (b) leadership, planning, and tactical execution. The survey was sent to nearly 700 Canadian municipalities.
The survey results will help understand the current Canadian landscape and allow making recommendations to improve how and when municipalities best manage their various processes and systems towards improving asset and maintenance management across municipalities. The survey results will help develop and deliver a training course for municipal practitioners in the Summer and Fall of 2023. The information gathered will also aid in developing a whitepaper and business case that will increase the profile, understanding, benefits, and requirements for asset master data and information readiness during an asset’s acquisition phase prior to being handed over to the operations and maintenance phase.
