Completing a Preventative and
Predictive Maintenance Plan | 2017-09-01 | This resource supports smaller rural communities with Asset Management Planning for water assets. The webinars include the following topics:
• Completing an Asset Inventory
• Completing a Condition Assessment
• Completed a Capital Improvement Plan
• Completing a Preventative and Predictive Maintenance Plan
• Budgeting for Maintenance, Capital Improvements, and Sustainability
These webinars provide information on the importance of executing these asset management activities, along with effective processes and methods for development. Development of the activities is aligned to and supported by USEPA's free desktop software program 'Check-up Program for Small Systems (CUPSS)'. However, the processes and methods outlined could be used to develop critical asset management activities. This is applicable to organizations not currently supported by software planning tools, as well as those using more advanced Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS).

- Condition Assessment Plan
- Capital Improvement Plan
- Preventative and Predictive Maintenance Plan
- Budgeting for Maintenance, Capital Improvements, and Sustainability
In addition, viewers can learn about the importance of these elements to support development of business cases, alignment with databases and work management systems, as well as common mistakes to avoid.
While this material is developed for water assets, the processes and methods defined can be applied to multiple asset types.
