Asset Management: A Solution to Deferred Maintenance
Facilities.net reports that the U.S. Army has $19 billion in deferred facility maintenance. Let’s not forget fleet, IT, and personal property – so the total deferred maintenance is clearly greater than that. While seemingly insurmountable, a structured approach to asset management as demonstrated by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and DC Government at ALN events shows ways to address deferred maintenance over time. Perhaps a DoD – Civilian Agency Roundtable in 2023 can provide an exchange of ideas to address deferred maintenance issues. Interested parties can email mbordenaro@AssetLeadership.net.

55K Talk with Kimon Onuma, President, ONUMA, Inc.
Mr. Onuma, likes the entire ISO 55001 section 7.5 on Information Requirements. However, he especially likes ISO 55001 section 7.5 e, which calls for asset data to be connected to financial requirements and regulatory requirements to support mission objectives.
If you have a favorite section of the ISO 55K Series please email your selection with a short comment to info@AssetLeadership.net. We will collect the comments and publish them together in 2023.
