What is asset management?

Asset management is a strategic and systematicprocess of operating, maintaining, and improvingphysical assets, with a focus on engineering and

economic analysis based upon qualityinformation, to identify a structured sequence ofmaintenance, preservation, repair, rehabilitation,and replacement actions that will achieve and

sustain a desired state of good repair over thelifecycle of the assets at minimum practicable cost.(23 U.S.C. 101(a)(2), MAP-21 1103)
