Web-Based Rural Road Asset-Management System

The Department of Accelerated Rural Development in Thailand has undergone major structural reforms according to the direction of National Economic and Social Development Plan 9, which decentralizes government authority into subdistrict levels. The goals for subdistrict level management are to improve the quality of life and the living standard through economic and social development in rural areas. By restructuring the maintenance practice and policy to complement the new orientation of the plan and to enable the proper planning of rural road asset maintenance activities, a systematic rural road asset-management system was implemented to achieve the goal of the subdistrict and central management. A web-based technology was used to provide an easy linkage between the central and the remote offices for both network and project-level management. The organizational barriers, development process, tools and technology, data integration, and benefits of the improved data-management system are discussed. The developed system includes data regarding pavement, bridge, drainage system, traffic sign, pavement marking, and vegetation problems. How web-based information technology can be applied to an asset-management system is discussed. The benefits are measured for productivity, profitability, and rural road user effects.

Capital Intensive

Enterprise asset management (EAM) systems are used by asset owners and/or operators to manage the maintenance of their physical assets. These assets, including equipment, facilities, vehicles, and infrastructure, need maintenance to sustain their operations. An EAM system provides the means to have less unplanned downtime and extended asset longevity, which offers clear business benefits that improve the profit and loss statement and balance sheet. Particularly for capital-intensive industries, like drilling and exploration, the failure of on-time delivery of critical equipment or processes is disruptive and costs nonproductive time and customer satisfaction. Organizations understand these issues and employ an appropriate asset management system to engineer their asset maintenance and management. An EAM system is needed to manage the people, assets/equipment, and processes. EAMs are used to plan, optimize, execute, and track the needed maintenance activities with associated priorities, skills, materials, tools, and information. Similarly, nondestructive testing (NDT) is used as a tool for integrity assessment of assets in drilling and exploration. The main advantage of using NDT is that the item’s intended use or serviceability is not affected. The selection of a specific technique should be based on knowledge and skills that include design, material processing, and material evaluation. Validating the purpose of this paper, we emphasize the importance of optimizing the asset utilization and serviceability to enhance overall efficiency by integrating EAM software that manages assets, the operation management system (OMS) controlling the processes, and asset inspection management systems (AIMSs).
