Abstrakt: Asset management in the context of physical infrastructure and industrial assets is the process of organising, planning and controlling the acquisition, use, care, refurbishment, and/or disposal of an organisation΄s physical assets to optimise their service delivery potential and to minimise the related risks and costs over their entire life. Asset management on national and international scales is extremely wide and complex, and consequently has either fallen short of specific requirements, or lacks application of the essential principles. There is therefore an emerging need for a significant increase in the level of competency and technological sophistication through integration of asset management decision-making across all public and private sectors. This competency includes the concept of knowledge management decision-making in integrated asset management, with due consideration of the essential differences of approach by the different public and private sectors; yet with a standardized implementation of education and training in integrated asset management that would have the widest reach and applicability on a national (and international) scale for each sector. This paper specifically considers standardized professional skills training in integrated asset management with particular reference to meeting industry needs of how to develop and implement the essential organizational asset management principles, themes, frameworks and functions, and to establish an integrated knowledge-based framework in which knowledge-based decision-making can be optimized.
