Abstract
There is a wide debate on the increasing challenges for organizations managing engineering asset systems, such as energy, transport and water networks, or building portfolios of the health, education, justice, administration sectors, among other engineering asset systems that support the functioning of societies. Many of these systems are decayed and needing interventions and the allocation of resources that are not always immediately available. In this context, it is crucial that these asset intensive organizations continually improve their asset management capabilities, with a view to systematically optimizing asset performance, risk and costs, both in the short and long term, while ensuring that the organization's objectives are achieved and that the needs and expectations of the various stakeholders are satisfied and sustained over time. This article seeks to contribute to the acceleration of the implementation of asset management programs in this type of organizations. It presents an acceleration strategy based on leadership and asset management planning and the adoption of a set of minimum requirements for the structure and contents of an Asset Management Plan (AMP). The proposed structure and minimum content for the AMP is presented together with the results achieved with this acceleration strategy in an asset intensive organization.
