An Introduction to Asset Management A simple but informative introduction to the management of physical assets By Robert Davis The Institute of Asset Management Recommended Published by blah d blah design ltd Subsidiary of EA Technology Ltd Capenhurst Technology Park Capenhurst Chester CH1 6ES Copyright © Robert Davis 978-0-9571508-3-6 Foreword As the serving President of the Institute of Asset Management, I am delighted to recommend this short book. As a past President of the IAM, Robert brought to the subject of Asset Management his wealth of experience in business management and marketing. This helped enormously in developing the IAM and the field of Asset Management, from a purely engineering and technical focus to one that recognises the need to engage across disciplines. Asset Management is increasingly well understood by the business community as a strategic and business led discipline, where the value of assets is their contribution to achieving explicit business objectives. If you are encountering Asset Management for the first time, this book should be a helpful introduction to the key topics. It should also highlight the benefits which are there to be gained by understanding and applying the fundamental principles. Of course, if you become interested or need to know more there is a great deal to be explored and I look forward to welcoming you into our community! We are very grateful to Robert for making his book freely available and we would encourage you to pass it on to anyone you think might benefit. Stephen Morris President of the Institute of Asset Management
