Building an AM Decision-making Framework
This session will provide a high-level overview of how to develop an AM decision-making framework using the various components of the AMP. This session is designed to provide an overview of how level of service analysis, lifecycle activities options and financing strategy inputs can be used to develop the plan – where the challenges and opportunities identified through the AM inputs can be addressed or leveraged in a strategic manner.

What You will Learn:
Topics we will seek to address in the webinar include
  • Defining the role of other documents, such as master plans, inspection reports and needs assessments, in the decision-making process, and understanding their relationship to the asset management plan.
  • Understanding the role of risk and criticality in the decision-making process.
  • Understanding the right level of detail needed in the asset inventory and performance tracking to support decision making.
  • Designing and documenting effective processes to keep asset management information up-to-date and relevant to decision making.

Who Should Attend:
Local government staff that are interested in integrating the asset management plan with other municipal decision-making processes (e.g., budgeting, rate setting, etc.)

Benefits of Attending:
Participants can expect to
  • Gain a clear understanding of the range of roles that the asset management plan can play in the broader asset management decision-making framework.
