Asset Information Management (AIM) is a fundamental component of Building Information Modeling (BIM) that ensures the accurate and consistent management of information related to physical assets throughout their lifecycle. In the context of ISO 19650, AIM plays a crucial role in enabling effective decision-making, optimizing operations, and facilitating maintenance.
Understanding ISO 19650-1:2018: Section 5.4.2 - Asset Information Management
ISO 19650-1:2018: Section 5.4.2 provides a high-level overview of the concept of AIM. It emphasizes the importance of establishing a consistent approach to managing information about assets throughout their lifecycle. The section highlights the need for an Information Delivery Cycle, which defines a framework for specifying, delivering, and using information. It introduces the concept of Asset Information Requirements (AIR) and their importance for effective asset management.
Key Facets of Asset Information Management
Asset Information Requirements (AIR): AIR refers to the information required to support the operation, maintenance, and decommissioning of an asset. ISO 19650-1:2018: Section 5.4.2 emphasizes the importance of identifying and specifying AIR to ensure that the right information is delivered to the right people at the right time.
Information Delivery Cycle: The Information Delivery Cycle is a framework for specifying, delivering, and using information. It ensures that the right information is delivered to the right people at the right time, and that the information is accurate, complete, and consistent.
Asset Information Model: An Asset Information Model is a digital representation of an asset's information. It provides a structured approach to managing information about assets, and ensures that the information is accurate, complete, and consistent.
Understanding ISO 19650-2:2018: Section 6.2 - Information Requirements for Asset Information Management
ISO 19650-2:2018: Section 6.2 provides further guidance on defining the information requirements for AIM. It outlines the process of identifying and specifying the information needed for effective asset management. The section highlights the importance of considering the following factors when defining information requirements:
Asset Type: The type of asset being managed, such as a building, bridge, or road.
Asset Lifecycle: The stage of the asset's lifecycle, such as design, construction, operation, or decommissioning.
Information Needs: The information needs of the stakeholders involved in the asset's management, such as owners, operators, or maintenance personnel.
Case Study: Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL)
MMRCL has successfully implemented AIM to manage its extensive network of metro stations and tracks. By using BIM and AIM, they have been able to optimize design, construction, and maintenance processes, resulting in improved efficiency and cost savings. MMRCL's AIM implementation includes:
Asset Information Model: A digital representation of the metro assets, including stations, tracks, and rolling stock.
Information Delivery Cycle: A framework for specifying, delivering, and using information, ensuring that the right information is delivered to the right people at the right time.
Asset Information Requirements: A clear definition of the information required to support the operation, maintenance, and decommissioning of the metro assets.
Facts and Figures
According to a report by McKinsey & Company, the global market for asset management software is expected to reach $15.7 billion by 2025, indicating a growing demand for AIM solutions. [Source: McKinsey & Company, "The Future of Asset Management"]
A study by the National Institute of Construction Management and Research (NICMAR)?found that AIM can reduce maintenance costs by up to 20% and improve asset availability by up to 15%. [Source: NICMAR, "Asset Information Management in Construction"]
Relevance to the Indian Context
AIM is highly relevant to the Indian context, where infrastructure development is a key priority. By implementing AIM, Indian organizations can improve asset performance, enhance decision-making, reduce costs, and enhance compliance. The Indian government has also recognized the importance of AIM, and has launched initiatives to promote the adoption of BIM and AIM in the construction industry.
