Kahua | www.kahua.com 1 Asset Centric Project Management: When You're in for the Long Haul Too often, construction data is considered to have a finite purpose that ends when the project is completed ... when the workers leave the jobsite, and the building or infrastructure becomes usable. But data is valuable beyond the temporary building process. The components of the key assets that comprise the building and infrastructure are invaluable in keeping the structure operational and safe as well as for better planning, ongoing maintenance and when the next project begins. In "The Total Cost of Ownership Mindset," David Bowcott states that if the owner, designer, contractor and major subcontractors collaborate around design and construction, the cost of construction would decrease and the cost of ownership over the entire life of the asset – where most of the costs occur – would decrease. This critical shift in how we look at the construction capital program lifecycle is called Asset Centric Project Management. Succinctly, it means beginning with the end in mind. At the start of the project, the essential assets (attributes), data (work orders) and documents (cut sheets) are specified and tracked. This asset centric approach delivers data that is then associated to other important project documents and business processes at the beginning and carried through for the life of the building or infrastructure. The main four components to Asset Centric Project Management are to: Built on Kahua's flexible and collaborative platform, this approach is a game changer for so many stakeholders downstream such as maintenance, compliance, security, insurance and claims … just to name a few. Instead of spending time and money in a "project after the project" scenario of painstakingly assembling the most essential data from the mountains of info provided at the end of a project, it is automatically stored in a data repository that informs decision making for the asset's life. This trove of actionable data available during operations and maintenance empowers workers to become strategic asset consultants. It also highlights operational improvements and cost analysis that is then incorporated back into the next project.
