Tools for Asset Management – TEM Recommendations for Road Operators
A Transportation Asset Management Information System (TAMIS) is a collection of hardware, software, data and processes that support asset Management business processes. A TAMIS is used to collect, process, store and analyse information about assets, which helps to develop sound maintenance and rehabilitation strategies and to schedule, track and manage work. Common functional elements of TAMIS are asset inventory, asset condition, performance and utilisation tracking, asset condition and performance prediction, treatment selection, etc. To implement such a comprehensive and complex set of tools, it requires sound knowledge not only about business processes but also in terms of planning of IT implementation. This publication presents possible tools to support asset management and, in parallel, will recommend how to implement these tools to eliminate the risk of failure.
