Life Cycle Costing for Small Water Systems
Asset Management is a process that allows a water or wastewater system to better manage its assets and improve the workday for its employees. It helps improve efficiency and reduce unplanned, reactionary activities in favor of more planned, proactive work. This virtual training module will provide an in-depth and more advanced overview of life cycle costing, and how it can be utilized in assessing risk and capital planning.
Criticality for Small Water Systems
Asset Management is a process that allows a water or wastewater system to better manage its assets and improve the workday for its employees. This virtual training module focuses on factors impacting Criticality and how to analyze and visualize Criticality. We discuss assigning numerical values for POF and COF and how to calculate risk, what can a system do to reduce their Criticality score, redundancy, triple-bottom line thinking, and how use criticality in decision-making.
