Room: D137-138

Audience: Facilities Personnel

Call to Action: 

1. Connect with SJUSD, WISD, or one of the other Asset Centric Project Management References provided during this session.
2. Create a task force to begin establishing a playbook which defines what critical assets need data collected, what attributes are critical to those assets, and how a project team contributes this data as part of their normal business processes.
3. Begin the process of amending project specifications to include the requirements of your playbook.

Abstract: The best-designed school facilities will only work for students and teachers if properly maintained. These valuable assets require database-driven tools for proper operation, care, and maintenance. For a generation, we’ve opened facilities without this critical data in place. Even though everything we need for a good database was selected, collected, installed, and inspected before we open the doors to our new school, the data is not gathered in a way that feeds the operations database. A new methodology is being used during planning, design, and construction which facilitates collection of data in a way that automatically and instantly feeds the operations tools. In this session, you’ll hear from the San Juan Unified School District from the Sacramento, CA area, and Waco (TX) Independent School District about how they are using this methodology to eliminate the costly collection, collating, and re-creating of data that occurs at the conclusion of a project. And you’ll come to understand the value proposition of this method called Asset Centric Project Management.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the true cost and consequences of missing asset data at facility startup.
2. Learn a new method to be used during planning and design that will eliminate the above reference cost and consequences.
3. Learn how to create an Asset Centric Playbook to define your needs and helps govern your processes.
