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
The remedial actions performed as a result of failure, to restore an item to a specified condition. Corrective maintenance mayor may not be programmed. IIMM
Corrective maintenance is maintenance carried out after a failure has occurred, and intended to restore an item to a state in which it can perform its required function. (This may include breakdown maintenance or reactive maintenance) LGAM
The maintenance carried out after a failure has occurred, and intended to restore an item to a state in which it can perform its required function. (This may include breakdown or reactive maintenance.) 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
An organisation such as a Local Council that is responsible for the management of infrastructure assets in a defined local area.
A characteristic of design and installation usually identified by the time and effort that will be required to retain an asset as near as practicable to its new or desired condition within a given period of time.

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.
For public sector (not-for-profit) organisations, service planning is the process of determining the services needed by a community (the organisations' customers). Service planning may include strategic planning for a community covering a period of 20 - 50 years, determining the services required to achieve the strategic community outcomes, engaging with the community to determine the optimum levels of service to suit available resources, determining how the services are to be provided and what measures are to be used to measure progress on achieving community outcomes. Service planning can assist organisations in many ways by answering the following questions:
- where are we now?
- where do we want to go?
- how do we get there?
- how do we know we are there?
Service plans are an essential tool in rational and co-ordinated decision making about levels and type of services where resources, funding, people and assets are used through clear links to long term financial planning. Good service plans:
- provide a route map to outcomes prioritised by the community,
- assist in identifying and managing risks in service delivery, and
- ensure that community and customer needs are met. Service planning is important as its outcomes affect the community' s quality of life.

An organisation responsible for providing a service.
A plan containing the long-term goals and strategies of an organisation. Strategic plans have a strong external focus, cover major portions of the organisation and identify major targets, actions and resource allocations relating to the long-term survival, value and growth of the organisation. IIMM
The Financial Management Standard 1997 requires asset strategic planning to be undertaken by agencies as part of their strategic and operational planning processes. The asset strategic plan links with other strategic plans of the agency including finance, human resources and information systems as enabling strategies for the delivery of the agency's core services. A Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) is a plan that documents service standards (set by the service provider) as well as an operations, maintenance and renewals strategy for achieving these standards. LGAM
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
The rate at which the services provided by the asset are consumed.
