In order to support this endeavor, MPU requested that Kayuga assess asset management practices and develop a roadmap for improvement. Benchmarking against ISO asset management best practices, Kayuga took a comprehensive look at MPU’s asset management program to gain an understanding of what it is doing well and what improvements can be made.

The following notable areas were examined:

• Strategic vision and direction

• Asset management processes and practices

• Operations processes and practices

• Maintenance processes and practices

• Information technology

• Asset data availability and quality

• Organizational leadership and sponsorship

• Staff understanding and acceptance

Based on the assessment findings, Kayuga developed a prioritized asset management implementation plan to move toward a consistent, comprehensive, and strategic asset management program for MPU.
