Are you maximizing the value of all your assets across their entire life cycle?
In today’s economy, maintaining the cost and overall life expectancy of the assets within an organization is becoming increasingly important. 
At SLKT, asset management is a global management process that takes you from inventory assessment and goal setting to the full execution of value-based maintenance plans that meet the latest industry standards.
We take a broader approach to addressing the sustainability and reliability of assets so that:

• Assets last longer
• Assets are more reliable
• Unexpected breakdowns and downtime is minimized
• Maintenance costs go down
• Scheduling is easier because there’s a plan

Are you developing an asset management strategy?  Here are the important elements to consider:

• Asset Inventory:  Do you know what assets you have and where they are?  Who is responsible for each asset?  How important is each asset and is it adequately protected according to how important it is?
• Goal Setting:  Have you set short- term and long-range goals and objectives?  Do your policies reflect your plans?
• Government Requirements:  Are you up to date on the latest standards and mandates?  Do you know how to meet “State of Good Repair” requirements in the most cost-effective manner?
• Theories and Methods of Maintenance:  Do you understand different approaches to maintenance well enough to make the best choice?  Are you able to use to your advantage Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), predictive maintenance, preventative maintenance, and Life Cycle Costing/Engineering?
• Process Management:  Who in your organization is in charge of looking at work management processes as a whole, monitoring processes, and making process improvements?
