Figure 1: The FM Organisational Performance Model
The FM organisational performance model will be used in developing the Total Asset Management approach by the Malaysian Government. In general, the approach to managing the Government assets can be marked with several milestones.
The first National Asset and Facility Management( NAFAM) Convention was held in August 2007 in Kuala Lumpur. The convention was the starting point of the Government’ s total commitment towards a systematic, comprehensive and integrated asset management plan. The emphasis at the convention, among others, included developing plans to enhance and improve Government asset management.
Following the success of the NAFAM 2009 Convention on March 31, 2009, the Malaysian Government enacted and launched a Government Asset Management Policy( Dasar Pengurusan Aset Kerajaan, DPAK) to outline the direction and the implementation of Government assets. The objectives of the Government’ s Asset Management Policy are in line with the Government’ s effort to create a first class maintenance culture, in accordance with first class infrastructure asset development that has been and will be implemented in Malaysia. It explains the Government’ s roles and commitments to ensure that assets are managed strategically and systematically to provide quality service to the nation. The policy includes the formation of the National Committee, the establishment of strategies in the form of manuals and procedures, the development of guidelines and system applications, and the development of human capital and competency. Improvement of all these factors must be carried out continuously to ensure sustainability and effectiveness of the Government’ s Asset Management Policy.
