What is physical asset optimization? Plus 6 ways it delivers value

What is Physical Asset Optimization?

Physical Asset Optimization maximizes the value of a company's physical assets, particularly equipment and property. This includes everything from maintenance scheduling, technician training, operating ratio analysis, and novel revenue stream generation from physical assets.

Asset optimization is all about making strategic improvements to the effectiveness of your overall asset management methodology by providing more holistic adjustments.

An asset is an item of value owned.

Optimization is the process or methodology for making something as functional or practical as possible.

This revolution in data has opened a whole new world of physical asset management and maintenance based on the analysis of this data.

Facility management is about much more than managing buildings, infrastructure, and services—it is critical to the successful functioning of every organization,  according to a recent IFMA report on strategic decision-making.

Why is Physical Asset Optimization Important?

Physical Asset Optimization is essential because it improves operational efficiency for buildings and facilities by collecting quality data and insights during a facility condition assessment.

Facility managers are tasked with various constraints, from aging infrastructure to health and safety compliance and shrinking budgets. Therefore facility executives must know how every building, physical asset, and system performs. In addition, facility managers must be aware of potential facility optimization areas that go above and beyond energy savings.

Data Collection and Management: New developments in data collection technology have allowed companies to assemble an unparalleled volume of data from their facilities, equipment, and physical assets. This revolution in data has opened novel avenues for effective physical asset management, maintenance, and optimization. However, it is the analysis of this data that enables companies to enhance physical asset optimization truly.

How value plays into physical asset management

In conclusion, when considering how value plays into physical asset management, it is essential that organizations"evaluate the balance between cost, risk, and performance, thereby allowing better-informed decisions," according to a recent study by the Institute of Civil Engineers.

The discipline of Facility Management is about more than managing property assets. Achieving maximum value from workplace and environmental benefits that improve productivity and protect employees and consumers is crucial.
