An activity is the work undertaken on an asset or group of assets to achieve a desired outcome. IIMM
A physical component of a facility which has value,enables services to be provided and has an economic life of greater than 12 months. Dynamic assets have some moving parts, while passive assets have none. IIMM
An asset is an object (physical or intangible) that has an identifiable value and a useful life greater than 12 months, that is or could be used by the entity responsible for it to provide a service. LGAM
Asset - An item with an independent physical and functional identity and age, within a facility (e.g. pump, motor, sedimentation tank, main). Asset - Service potential or future economic benefits controlled by entity as a result of past transactions or other past events. DERM
A plan developed for the management of one or more infrastructure assets that combines multi-disciplinary management techniques (including technical and financial) over the lifecycle of the asset in the most costeffective manner to provide a specified level of service. A significant component of the plan is a long-term cashflow projection for the activities. IIMM
An Asset Management Plan (AMP) is a plan developed for the management of one or more infrastructure asset classes with a view to operating, maintaining and renewing the assets within the class in the most cost effective manner possible, whilst providing a specific level of service." LGAM
The focus of the audit is to check the Asset Management Plan has:
- well-defined justifiable levels of service
- minimum assumptions relating to asset information
- a robust AM improvement programme with task priorities and resource requirements identified
- an enhanced description of AM techniques used to establish the most cost-effective (optimum) asset lifecycle treatment options (i.e. risk management, > predictive modelling and optimised decision- making)
- quality presentation, including a stand-alone executive summary and extensive use of figures and tables
- a focused plan with extensive use made of appendices.
IIMM
Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the specific requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards. LGAM
Cost (current) - An asset’s cost measured by reference to the lowest cost at which the gross service potential of the asset could currently be obtained in the normal course of events. (Synonymous with ‘gross current cost’.) Cost (replacement) - The cost of restoring an existing asset’s gross service potential on deprival, whether by reproduction of the existing asset or replacement with a reference asset. Cost (reproduction) - The cost of restoring an existing asset’s gross service potential on deprival by reproducing the existing asset. Cost (written down current) - An asset’s current cost less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost to reflect the already consumed or expired service potential of the asset DERM
The defined service quality for a particular activity (i.e. roading) or service area (i.e. streetlighting) against which service performance may be measured. Service levels usually relate to quality, quantity, reliability, responsiveness, environmental acceptability and cost. IIMM
A complex comprising many assets (e.g. a hospital, water treatment plant, recreation complex, etc.) which represents a single management unit for financial, operational, maintenance or other purposes.
IIMM
A facility is a group of assets located within a designated area that are associated in some way.
LGAM
Facility - A group of assets that provides a function or service (e.g. pump station, reservoir, treatment plant, reticulation system). Facility - A complex of assets (e.g. a hospital, water treatment plant, sporting complex) that represents a single management unit for financial, operational, maintenance or other purposes.
DERM
An organisation such as a Local Council that is responsible for the management of infrastructure assets in a defined local area.
Works to rebuild or replace parts or components of an asset, to restore it to a required functional condition and extend its life, which may incorporate some modification. Generally involves repairing the asset to deliver its original level of service (i.e. heavy patching of roads, sliplining of sewer mains, etc.) without resorting to significant upgrading or renewal, using available techniques and standards.
IIMM
Rehabilitation is "works carried out to rebuild or replace parts or components of an asset, to restore it to a required functional condition and extend its life, which may incorporate some modification.
LGAM
Works to rebuild, or replace parts of components of, an asset to restore it to the required functional condition and/or extend its life. This could also incorporate some modification. Generally involves repairing the asset to deliver similar function using available techniques and standards (i.e. not a significant upgrade or renewal). Examples include heavy patching of roads and slip-lining of sewer mains.
DERM
A risk is the probability of a failure of an asset as a result of the occurrence of a hazard. There may be a resulting cost associated with the risk.
A system supplying a public need such as transport, communications, or utilities such as electricity and water.
An organisation responsible for providing a service.
The defined service quality for a particular activity (i.e. roading) or service area (i.e. streetlighting) against which service performance may be measured. Service levels usually relate to quality, quantity, reliability, responsiveness, environmental acceptability and cost.
