Steering Asset Management Rather Than Just Managing It—With an Objective Maturity Assessment

Initial Situation

An energy infrastructure network operator wanted to further develop its asset management in a targeted manner, but lacked an objective basis for doing so.

Processes and systems are in place, but there is no reliable picture of the level of maturity
Maintenance efficiency, data quality, and the degree of digitization cannot be assessed
Modern maintenance strategies (e.g., condition-based, predictive) not classified
Increasing demands regarding availability, costs, and compliance—without a framework for management

Solution & Procedure

For the first time, a structured asset management benchmark was used to provide a comprehensive, objective assessment of the current situation.

Analysis of eight key areas of focus, including master data, maintenance processes, interfaces (purchasing, warehouse), KPIs, and compliance
Classification based on a defined maturity model and comparison with established industry benchmarks
A streamlined process: from workshop to analysis to presentation of results within three weeks
Result: A management presentation outlining prioritized areas of action and a roadmap for short- and long-term measures

Results & Added Value

Business Impact:

For the first time, a solid basis for decision-making regarding investments and transformation initiatives has been established
Areas of action can be prioritized based on their impact and level of maturity—rather than on the basis of assumptions or case-by-case assessments
The current state of development was systematically evaluated and made comparable across eight areas of action
Laying the groundwork to specifically address increasing demands for availability, efficiency, and compliance
