Abstract
Following the global trend of escalating customer expectation of services and products in the trade of Engineering Asset Management (EAM), a systematic and international engineering management system was developed within the Publicly Available Specification: Asset Management in Year 2004 (PAS 55:2004) by British Standard Institution (BSI). The International Standards Organization (ISO) has adopted its subsequent edition [1] for development of asset management series of international standards. This article highlights an application research served to conduct a tentative sampling survey on about 31 building and plant practitioners in EAM. On following their management systems mapped according to the PAS 55 framework, their O&M performances can be evaluated by an artificial intelligence based method, which is designed according to PAS 55 criteria, and used to establish models. The intelligent method makes use of the survey information to model the benchmarking levels of PAS 55 and the requirements for different categories of EAM practitioners. Section 4.4.6 Information Management of PAS 55:2008 was selected in this study. A questionnaire was designed to survey the performance of the local 31 building practitioners in EAM. The survey result has been adopted as a reference to virtual adoption levels at PAS 55. Practical means have also been revealed so that the building O&M practitioners can find their ways to accomplish a full recognition in EAM and vital references in benchmarking their performance with the world recognized EAM performance.
