OVERVIEW OF THE ASSET MANAGEMENT PROCESS
The Asset Management Process (AMP) provides the basic building blocks for the
condition assessment process. It is important to review the material covered in the
Asset Management Process/Facility Management Software System (AMP/FMSS)
course so you feel comfortable with both the process and the software before
proceeding to learn the additional requirements for completion of condition
assessments. These first two chapters of the Facility Condition Assessment Survey
Student Manual represent a significantly shorter version of the materials presented in
the introductory course. If a student requires more information than what is provided in
this brief review, it is recommended that he or she refer to the AMP/FMSS Student
Manual for more information.
This chapter will address the AMP model (Figure 1); this model illustrates a standard
approach frequently used in the facility management industry. It also represents the primary
steps required to properly maintain and account for NPS assets. When examining the AMP
model, it is important to understand that the inner circles—mission and needs assessment—
drive the entire model. Each aspect of the AMP must consider mission and needs
assessment as primary issues, which is why each component in the outer circle touches the
needs assessment and mission circles in the center of the model.
The AMP includes seven components:
• Mission
• Needs Assessment
• Inventory of Assets
• Work Identification
• Work Planning
• Work Performance
• Evaluation
