Case Study: A UK Government Department responsible for managing circa 3K assets across a globally dispersed customer base
Improving Asset and Data Management
The Challenge
The client managed a diverse portfolio of assets across a large and globally dispersed customer base that each have differing requirements and management systems. This complexity created an environment where there was no understanding of the overall number of assets across the customer base and lacked a formalised asset management process. The study was tasked with identifying initiatives to improve availability, efficiency and safety through more effective data management.
