SAMS

About the Book

All businesses and utilities face the challenge of how to keep their assets working at lowest whole life cost. That’s why increasingly complex asset management systems implemented by expensive consultants have flourished. It doesn’t have to be that way - you can achieve the results you need through following a series of simple logical steps and you can do it without costly outside help. That’s the capability that SAMS, Simplified Asset Management Systems gives you and it is relevant to any industry. It presents a complete system for water facilities and then illustrates how the same procedures are easily adapted using highways and social housing as worked examples.
