    Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP)

    • Objective: The objective of a SAMP is to bridge the gap between strategic planning and asset management implementation.
    • Definition: A SAMP is documented information that outlines how to translate organizational goals into asset management objectives. It defines the approach for developing asset management plans and the role of the asset management system in achieving those goals.
    • Relationship to Organizational Plan: A SAMP is derived from the organizational plan, such as the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) in municipalities.
    • Key Elements of a SAMP:
      • Defines customer groups and service catchments/areas.
      • Sets long-term objectives for infrastructure and its management.
      • Establishes performance criteria and measures (targets for Business Plans).
      • Defines key asset management processes, integration, and coordination measures.
      • Defines Asset Management System (AMS) functionality and data standards.
      • Outlines risk management processes.
