Using Asset Levels of Service & Risk Management for Asset Planning
The Risk Management Advantage: Making better asset management decisions!
? The Challenge: What are the organization’s asset priorities? Water ? Affordable Housing Long Term Care Waste Management Roads Shelters Waste Water What are the organization’s asset priorities? Need a consistent systematic approach across very different asset types
Risk Management ? Risk #1 #2 #3 #4 A consistent measure to assess & prioritize asset needs across very different asset classes Risk #1 #2 #3 #4
Risk The chance of something happening that will impact the achievement of an organization’s objectives Can be an opportunity or threat Cannot be eliminated – only managed
Risk Management Processes & structures directed towards the effective management of potential opportunities & threats Continuous, proactive & systematic Includes policies, procedures & practices to ID, prioritize, respond to, & monitor risks
Risk Management Advantages/Considerations Provides a strategic, objective measure of organizational priorities Powerful reporting capabilities Initial assessments can be done with little data (improves as data matures) Does not need to be overly precise for strategic decision-making Rely on the expert judgement of staff Factor in the data gaps as part of the risks Can be modelled with simple tools (e.g. Excel) Requires some knowledge of risk management & asset subject matter Developing consequence & likelihood measures Facilitating the risk assessment sessions – asking the right questions
Asset LOS Dictate Risk & Needs Meeting Asset Levels of Service Less risk to services Fewer asset needs Not Meeting Asset Levels of Service More risk to services More asset needs
Assessing the Priorities
Asset Levels of Service Condition, performance & maintenance targets/requirements to: Maintain state of good repair Ensure adequate quality & quantity of service Enhance service delivery Control external risks to assets, services, public health & safety Measure the state of the assets Meet regulatory requirements (non-discretionary) ALOS should describe targets to achieve/connect to a desired service outcome Asset Level of Service Service Outcome Structurally sound bridges Safe services Adequate pipe capacity Sufficient quantity of service Adequate HVAC capacity Sufficient quality of service Back-up Power Supply Service reliability
Tips for Developing ALOS Start with the services What are the service objectives? What are the levels of service the customers expect to receive? What are the regulatory requirements? Define relevant ALOS for each asset class Each asset class should be governed/defined by the same ALOS requirements e.g.: allowable # of watermain breaks may differ between less critical local mains vs. more critical feedermains Should be focused on what is necessary to control/manage the various risks to services The ALOS targets should be practical & achievable to manage the risks to services at acceptable/reasonable levels Do they satisfy applicable regulations?
Tips for Developing ALOS Keep the ALOS simple Objective based/focused Minimize the number of ALOS Only enough to determine whether the asset fully meeting the service need Avoids the collection of too much data Continually question “Why do we need this ALOS?” ALOS targets & status are clearly measurable Data to support the measures are or will be readily obtainable Avoid using design criteria Too detailed, prescriptive & numerous A factor that contributes to the ALOS 17

Reporting
Current Asset Needs & $’s Measuring the Risk Current Asset Needs & $’s Asset Class Total Risk Mitigation over given time period (e.g. 10 years) Inherent (Unmitigated) Risk – Highest Estimated level of risk. No ALOS controls. Target Risk – Desired risk after implementing all practical ALOS controls. Current Risk – Estimated level of risk under present infrastructure conditions. Projected Risk (over given time period) assuming no investments in the infrastructure Estimated Risk assuming recommended capital investments are implemented over the given time period

Take-aways: Developing ALOS & Risk Assessments Don’t expect perfection the first time It’s a learning journey Start with something & ID opportunities for later improvements Manage expectations Keep it simple Clear, meaningful measures & reporting Process before software Adapt software to the processes Communicate, Communicate Maintain open channels & an open mind A mix of art & science Combine expert judgement with facts & stats
