promoting AM collaboration across NNSA sites—there are no efforts comparing Sandia's AMS to
industry best practices. Therefore, while knowledge sharing and collaboration are essential from a
lessons-learned perspective, improving AM is difficult without knowing the AMS current state or having
a vision for AM.
With all these considerations taken into account, where should Sandia begin in implementing a successful
AMS program? A gap analysis provides an understanding of an organization's AMS current state and
identifies opportunities for improvement in developing an AMS end state. With AM planning for physical
real property assets being performed in Center 4800, Group 4850 conducted a gap analysis to ascertain
the alignment of the current state of Facilities' AMS to the AMS requirements outlined in the ISO 55001
Asset Management. The results of the gap analysis are reflected Table 1: ISO 55001 Alignment Ratings
and Results Summary and is discussed in detail in Section 5. Alignment rating definitions can be found in
Table 5: ISO 55001 Alignment Ratings and Definitions. The alignment ratings in Table 1 are not meant to
demonstrate that Sandia does not have an AMS or that AM is not being performed. Rather, the
understanding should be that AMS improvements are necessary to continue aligning with ISO 55001.

AMS as "used to refer to a management system for AM."3 "An AIVIS is used to direct, coordinate, and
control AM activities."4 Adding some context, ISO 55000 cites an AMS "as a set of tools, including
policies, plans, business processes and information systems, which are integrated to give assurance that
expected outcomes of AIVI activities will be delivered."5 Therefore, think ofthe AMS as toolbox with all
the "righe' tools needed to enable AM,a process, to yield a desired output. ISO 55000 cites AIVI as
translating "the organizational objectives into technical and financial decisions, plans and activities."6
Think of AM as the overarching process where AM subprocesses are working cohesively to realize the
desired output(maximizing the asset's value). Therefore, an AMS whose role is defined in a Strategic
Asset Management Plan(SAMP), coupled with AM,provides reasonable assurance that assets will fulfill
their intended purpose to meet AM objectives. The SAMP should include "structures, roles and
responsibilities necessary to establish the AMS and to operate it effectively."7 Hence, the AMS enables
AM to yield asset value and collectively enable mission success. Figure 1: AMS and AM in Perspective
provides a visual representation of how the AMS enables the AM process to yield asset value.

Within each ISO 55001 section, there are subsections with many cross-cutting-related factors, which
made the gap analysis cumbersome. To provide clarity on the approach to the gap analysis, elements were
created that best represented the overlapping factors. These elements are listed in Table 4: Asset

ratings of Lagging, Aligning, and Leading were developed and are derivatives of the IAM14 maturity
ratings. These alignment ratings versus the IAM maturity ratings provide a common intuitive alignment
definition along with a qualitative description ofthe alignment of the current state of AM relative to ISO
55001. The alignment ratings are shown in Table 5: ISO 55001 Alignment Ratings and Definitions.
5.4.1 ISO 55001 Section 4 — Context of the Organization: Purpose, Gap Analysis
Summary, and Gap Closure Recommendations
Purpose: ISO 55001 Section 4 identifies the requirements that would demonstrate an organization's
understanding of the AMS coupled with the overall strategic approach to AM and the factors that "affect
its ability to achieve intended outcomes."16 These factors include the organization's purpose (vision,
mission, and core values), asset requirements, risk-based decision making criteria, asset portfolio, the
AMS scope, and the application of integrated environment, safety, security, and health(ESS&H), quality,
and risk management systems.
Gap Analysis Summary: While the term AMS is not used within Sandia, an AMS exists within Division
4000(D4K). D4K centers have AM planning and execution functions for managing physical assets.
However, executive asset management sponsorship, corporate-specific AM objectives, an AM strategic
vision, AM mission expectations, an AM policy, a SAMP,AM objectives, asset management plans
(AMPs), and AM strategies were the noted gaps. While AMPs—specifically area plans and lifecycle asset
management plans(LCAMPs)—are in the development stages, these planning documents must be aligned
with each other and with the AM policy, SAMP,AM objectives, and AM strategies. The absence ofthese
ISO 55001 requirements hinders a common approach to AM,thus preventing cross-cutting AM functions
from collaborating and working cohesively to meet AM objectives. To install a culture of AM excellence,
corporate-wide AM awareness, and a clear understanding ofthe AM vision, policy, SAMP,corporate and
organizational AM objectives, and AM strategies is essential. As a result of the noted gaps, the alignment
rating for Section 4 was "Lagging."
Gap Closure Recommendations:
1. Obtain corporate-level AM sponsorship and include AM expectations, goals, and objectives in the
Corporate Strategic Plan.
2. At the Associate Laboratory Director(ALD)Division Leadership level, champion AM and
develop an AM policy, SAMP,and a strategic AM vision aligned with corporate-specific AM
strategic goals and objectives.
3. At the Center Leadership level, develop AM objectives and mission aligned with the SAMP and
ALD strategic AM vision.
4. At the Group and Department Leadership levels, define AM strategies to be aligned with the
Sandia Corporate Strategic Plan, the ALD strategic AM vision, the AM policy, the SAMP,and
AM objectives.
5. At the Group and Department Leadership levels, develop an AM communication plan that aligns
with the communication strategy.
Purpose: ISO 55001 Section 5 identifies the requirements that would demonstrate at all
leadership/management levels the willingness, commitment, and support of an AMS and subsequent AM
that fosters a culture of lifecycle AM excellence. The focus ofthe requirements is embedded in the
development and sustainment of an AM policy, a SAMP,and AM objectives.
Gap Analysis Summary: The AM principles and overarching guidance to achieve AM objectives are not
explicitly defined in any existing Sandia planning or procedural document. In the absence of an AM

its context.

Facilities September 2020
policy, SAMP,and AM objectives, the underlying message is that AM is not as important as other
business needs. In turn a culture of lifecycle ATVI excellence is difficult to promote and sustain. Lifecyle
AM will be mediocre at best, and resulting asset failures will eventually have adverse effects on the
ability to meet mission deliverables. As a result ofthe noted gaps, the alignment rating for Section 5 was
"Lagging."
Gap Closure Recommendations:
1. Currently, ISO 55001 is not supported at the corporate, D4K, or all subsequent D4K levels at Sandia.
Many elements ofISO 55001 exist and are being practiced in various forms, but they exist in stand-
alone AM documents. Sandia D4K leadership should develop a SAMP document that will tie current
AM documents together. Being that facilities is divided into two Centers, the SAMP needs to be
developed at the division level and then allowed to flow down to the center levels.
2. AM planning activities are heavily centered around Center 4800 with minimal input/representation
from Center 4700. Collaboration between AM planning and execution is a requisite and therefore
must be communicated and driven at the Division level. In addition, AM should be included as a part
of the corporate strategic objectives.
5.4.3 ISO 55001 Section 6 — Planning: Purpose, Gap Analysis Summary and Gap
Closure Recommendations
Purpose: ISO 55001 Section 6 identifies the requirements that would demonstrate how asset management
objectives are developed from and aligned with corporate objectives, communicated and implemented
through asset management plans, monitored, and have risk management provisions put in place to assure
the success of the mission.
Gap Analysis Summary: As it pertains to planning, AM organizational objectives need to be established
and further developed through the AM objectives. While there are internal planning documents and work
improvement plans, they are at the system level and do not address criteria outlined in ISO 55001, nor are
they consistent across the systems. LCAMPs exist to some degree, but they are inconsistent at best. They
lack both support from SMEs and a structured system ofreporting and are therefore inconsistent. There is
an additional lack of consistent alignment of NNSA capabilities and asset data management and
reporting. Area plans will be driven by NNSA capabilities, but assets do not necessarily align with those
capabilities. An AM policy and AM objectives are nonexistent, and therefore the items that follow, such
as planning, documentation, information management, and risk management, are disjointed and lacking
integration. Furthermore, no AM documents exist to convey AM objectives at relevant functions and
levels. As a result of the noted gaps, the alignment rating for Section 6 was "Lagging."
Gap Closure Recommendations:
1. Create an AM architecture complete with policies, objectives, resources(RACI), and systematic
approaches to planning and reporting. Future lifecycle area and lifecycle AMPs should strictly
follow this new framework and apply all principles that lie within to better align with ISO 55001.
Planning activities should include information identified by the risk management process through
structured data monitoring and evaluation, incorporate recommendations and evaluations from
the LCAMPs,and align with corporate objectives, NNSA capabilities, and the newly established
AM policies and objectives. The synthesis that would occur from the alignment of NNSA
capabilities and assets would be reflected in the area plans and LCAMPs. A SAMP would further
align the recommendation. These policies, plans, and objectives should be communicated from
upper management to all lower levels and disseminated across the organization for consistent
implementation.
2. Information and data should be consistently managed and reported by all stakeholders and
administered to be effectively synthesized for reporting to NNSA. Furthermore, some alignment
with NNSA capabilities will be necessary.
5.4.4 ISO 55001 Section 7 — Support: Purpose, Gap Analysis Summary,and Gap
Closure Recommendations
Purpose: ISO 55001 Section 7 identifies the requirements that would demonstrate that adequate and
competent resources exist and asset information requirements are known, documented, and available to
support the necessary processes that enable asset management. In addition, communication requirements
to promote asset management awareness is also outlined.
Gap Analysis Sumrnary: The team considered existing Facilities' processes and resources in the ISO
Support section ofthe analysis. The analysis considered the following questions and statements: How
does the organization ensure that resources required to establish, implement, maintain, and improve the
asset management system are determined and provided? How does the organization ensure that persons
performing work under the organization's control are aware ofthe how they impact the achievement of
asset management objectives? How does the organization determine internal and external communication
requirements related to assets and asset management systems? Finally, what has the organization done to
determine what asset management information is required to support its management of assets, the AM
system, and organizational objectives.
Facilities has committed resources to AM and retains key staff that are knowledgeable and competent in
their subject areas of influence. They understand their influence on the operations of systems, role in
planning projects and identifying risks, and routinely make strong contributions to manage our assets.
One of the shortcomings is that our organization still needs to define the AM strategy, the AM objectives,
and the expectations for the AMPs. The concept of AM is not currently connected or integrated across the
Facilities organizations. The roles and responsibilities for AM are not developed across 4700/4800;
however, many individuals know they have a role in AM.
The organization has made a commitment to the development of LCAMPs. It should be noted that the
development of these LCAMPs are not always the priority for the assigned resources and that it has been
difficult to gather related asset information. The current state within the organization is that we have
many elements ofthe AMS. The organization could improve AM and realize efficiencies through
improved integration of AM elements.
Facilities has several processes and deliverables through which asset information is comrnunicated and
reported. Information is communicated through tier boards, planning documents, and in focused efforts.
The exchange of information with external stakeholders typically consists of planning efforts,
presentations, and documents. Strategic planning activities with line customers gather customer
requirements through facilities and infrastructure planning activities and similar efforts. This exchange of
information is typically at a higher level and may not always consider detailed asset information. Our
organization could benefit from improving how and when asset information is collected, analyzed, and
evaluated.
We began our journey to improve AM,and the LCAMP templates are identifying information and
process gaps as we work to develop LCAMPs. The organization has not determined information
requirements to support its AMS, AM,assets, and the achievement of its organizational objectives beyond
contract deliverables. There are several processes and asset information systems in place that can be
leveraged to form our AMS such as Facilities Information Management System (FIMS), BUILDER,
Maximo, and ProjectWise. Each of these asset information systems play a role in information
requirements and the management ofinformation in support of an AM program. The information has not
been integrated into a program.

5.4.5 ISO 55001 Section 8 — Operation: Purpose, Gap Analysis Summary,and Gap
Closure Recommendations
Purpose: ISO 55001 Section 8 identifies the requirements that would demonstrate that change
management systems exist to control and manage risks associated with changes to AM roles and
responsibilities, policies, plans, and objectives.
Gap Analysis Summary: The team looked at Facilities' processes for controlling the implementation of
AMPs,how well they are being implemented, and how effective they are, for both in-house and
outsourced activities. This includes risk assessment and management before and during implementation
of changes, as well as mitigation of any negative effects.
Facilities does have a Quality Management System(QMS)in place for controlling and implementing
some AM activities. The QMS is managed by Department 4801, Strategic and Technical Operations.
However, because Facilities does not have comprehensive AMPs,the team could not assess the
effectiveness of the QMS to control and manage changes to AM activities. For the most part, QMS is
used to plan for business needs, support major initiatives, and provide centralized resources for
requirements management, risk management, publications, process design, training, measures and
metrics, audits and assessments, corrective actions, lessons learned, communications, information
technology, records, and continual improvement. Once an AMP has been developed, Facilities will use
QMS to track and manage its objectives. Specific observations include:
• Facilities does not have a comprehensive SAMP or AMPs,and formal objectives related to AM are
minimal
• Sandia does have methods in place to identify internal and external issues at the corporate level, but
these mainly deal with high-level missions and flowdown to AM is inconsistent.
• Facilities has not developed a systematic approach to address or mitigate the risk of changes that
affect the entire AMS. Risk management is dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
• Metrics are kept estimating the overall condition of assets (deferred maintenance, Facility Condition
Index, etc.), but these are mainly lagging and not proactive.
• Facilities outsources some AM activities, such as condition assessment survey inspection, but the
drivers behind these decisions are resource capability and availability driven. Risk is not considered
when making outsourcing decisions.
• Performance monitoring is not consistent across contracts. Sandia-Delegated Representatives must
assess the contractor in Oracle after approving each invoice, but Facilities has not developed
guidelines for doing these assessments, nor are any ofthe assessment questions specifically related to
AM.
• Many of Facilities' contracts are one deep. If the contractor shuts down or decides to stop supporting
Sandia, it would take several months to find a replacement and put a contract in place.
As a result of the noted gaps, the alignment rating for Section 8 was "Lagging."
Gap Closure Recommendations:
Facilities should formalize the AMS and develop a SAMP whose inputs are aligned with Error! Reference
source not found.. Depaitment 4801 should help develop and implement this plan using QMS,and then
use existing processes once the system is in place to determine whether objectives are met, processes are
implemented, risks of planned changes are properly assessed and managed, and outsourced activities are
properly identified, managed, and controlled.
Purpose: ISO 55001 Section 9 identifies the requirements that would demonstrate asset performance
monitoring, and evaluation processes exist to assure asset performance and asset management objectives
are being fulfilled. Note that while the performance evaluation requirements apply to the AMS,including
the assets themselves, the focus ofthe gap analysis was on performance of assets.
Gap Analysis Summary: As it pertains to the performance of assets, it was noted that there are programs
in place that could be leveraged to help meet the intent ofISO 55001 (Reliability-Centered Maintenance
and the Predictive Maintenance teams within 4700), none of which are currently geared toward the most
noted gaps. The two gaps are the lack offormal documented processes that answer the following:
• How has the organization determined what assets need to be monitored and measured?
• How has the organization determined what information generated via its monitoring and
measurement processes need to be analyzed, evaluated, and reported?
As a result of the noted gaps, the alignment rating for Section 9 was "Lagging."
Gap Closure Recommendations:
1. Provide structure within the AMS that dictates the flow ofinformation from assets that are
monitored (i.e., identify who analyzes the data [Center, Group, Department], how it is evaluated,
and to whom the determinations made from the evaluations are reported [Center, Group,
Depaitment]).
2. Leverage the creation of the SAMP and AMPs to provide a clear rationale as to which assets
require monitoring and measurement with concurrence and participation from all affected entities
within Facilities.
3. Leverage audits from top management to ensure that they are both a champion for asset data-
driven decision making and championing an overall effort toward asset health
monitoring/condition-based monitoring methods for Facilities assets.
5.4.7 ISO 55001 Section 10 — Improvement: Purpose, Gap Analysis Summary and
Gap Closure Recommendations
Purpose: ISO 55001 Section 10 identifies the requirements that would demonstrate a process for
continuous improvement exists for the AMS and AM. The focus on improvement affect asset anomalies
and process failures.
Gap Analysis Summary: Even within its corporate behaviors, Sandia advocates a Continuous
Improvement(CI)culture. There are existing CI processes embedded in corporate programs for
DOE/NNSA reportable activities such as ES&H accidents and Physical Security incidents. These
programs have staffed, robust processes for recording, resolving, and reporting
incidents/deficiencies/process failures, developing preventative/corrective actions plans, and performing
follow up assessments. Currently, there are no similar formal CI programs for an AMS and AM within
Facilities. The primary gap for the development of a valued AM CI program was conclusively identified
as a lack of established D4K AM Policy, SAMP and AM objectives that align with Sandia's annual
Corporate Goals and Objectives.
Although credit was considered for the existing Corporate CI programs, the alignment rating as a result of
the noted gaps for Section 10, is "Lagging."
Gap Closure Recommendations:
The critical initial step is for D4K top management to commit to Facilities' AMS and AM program
structured around ISO 55001 framework, followed by the establishment of an AM Policy, SAMP and
Facilities' AM objectives that is aligned with Sandia's Corporate goals and objectives. Once those are
launched, AMPs can be developed providing the required components for a robust CI program for the
AMS. These components must include:
1. Corrective action processes for nonconformities, failures, and incidents on assets and AIVIS with
defined roles, responsibilities, and fundamental criteria for identifying and investigating
nonconformities and incidents.
2. Preventative action processes for assets utilizing proactive monitoring procedures of asset
performance and evaluation processes for determining an asset's need for preventative actions.
Roles, responsibilities and monitoring criteria must also be defined.
3. Follow up procedures for asset nonconformities, failures, or incidents that require corrective and
preventative actions, processes established to document the identified actions on the asset or
changes to AMS. The recording of results should have a review process to assess their
effectiveness.
4. Processes established on how to control nonconformities and their consequences and to minimize
any adverse effects.
The SAMP should consider an AM configuration management process for reporting, tracking,
monitoring, and documenting changes in AM activities including CI processes. Additionally, the SAMP
should address staff support needs to maintain and sustain a robust CI Program.
Review of existing Corporate ES&H and Security CI Program processes and staffing for nonconformity
and/or incidents reporting/investigating/recording should be performed to evaluate how to adapt for the
AMS and AM needs.

An AIVIA is the systematic layered construct of components and elements forming the AM framework
that drives a structured, discipline,d and consistent approach necessary to sustain lifecycle AM
excellence. The sequence of the AMA construct is as follows:
1. AM Platform: The AMA begins with a platform, which is the premise of an organization's
existence. In Sandia's case it is national security (the mission) and the core values of ESS&H.
The AIVI platform is about understanding the asset requirements needed to meet
stakeholder/partner expectations and ultimately mission goals and objectives.
2. AM Foundation: The AM foundation is then built on this platform with emphasis placed on all
levels of leadership and management being committed to an AM vision, mission, corporate AM
plan, goals, and objectives. The foundation is a roadmap providing direction and expectations that
foster a culture oflifecycle AM excellence.
3. AM Structure: The AM structure consists of the development and sustainment of AM-specific
policies, guiding principles, roles, and responsibilities that are engrained in the AM culture. It's a
continued leadership commitment to establish and support an AM policy, a SAMP,and AM
objectives that are aligned with corporate AM goals. The AM structure builds a culture of
collaboration across the organization and promotes the importance of AM.
4. AM Strategies: The AM strategies are then developed and define approaches to enable lifecycle
AM (LCAM). AM strategies include resource and LCAM strategies. A resource-planning
strategy focuses on the right-sized skilled workforce, funding, tools, asset information and related
information systems, and integrated management systems inclusive ofESS&H core values,
quality (continuous improvement), and risk management. The LCAM strategy focuses on LCAM
planning and execution guiding principles that are aligned with the AM policy, the SAMP,and
AM objectives.
5. Lifecycle AM:LCAM focuses on the AM planning, execution, performance monitoring and
evaluation(PME), and continuous improvement(CI) during the asset lifecycle phases of
planning, sustainment, and disposition. The AM strategies are then deployed to:(1)implement
LCAM planning, which culminates in the creation of area and lifecycle asset management plans
(referenced herein as Area AMPs and LCAMPs), and (2)to execute the identified plan activities
to meet AM objectives.
6. AM Scope/Portfolio: Finally, the AM scope/portfolio is the inventory of assets to which AMS
and the AM will be applied.

ISO 55000 places the responsibility for developing the AM policy on leadership and emphasizes that the
policy should be driven by an AM vision and mission also created by leadership. The AM policy should
list the principles for meeting organizational and subsequently AM objectives.17
ISO 55001 identifies the minimum AM policy requirements, offers flexibility for the AM policy to be
developed in a manner that is commensurate for the organization, and identifies the AM policy as the
"framework for developing the AM objectives." The general requirements are that the AIVI policy shall be
consistent with the corporate plan and relevant corporate policies. Additionally, the AM policy shall be
documented, communicated, made readily available, and periodically reviewed.18
ISO 55002 guidance on the AM policy is that the policy should contain statements that convey the AM
principles, commitment, and expectations for decisions and activities and culture relative to AIVI.19
To provide assurance that the AM policy communicates the importance of AM and begins developing the
path to a consistent approach to AM,Figure 7: Asset Management Policy Framework identifies inputs
that should be considered when developing the AM policy framework.

ISO 55000 indicates that the SAIVIP should convey how the AIVI principles will be implemented to meet
organizational and subsequently AM objectives. Additionally, the "SAMP should be used to guide the
setting of its AM objectives, and describe the role of the AMS in meeting these objectives." So as not to
confuse the roles of the AM policy and SAMP relative to the development ofthe AM objectives, the AM
policy defines the considerations for "what AM objectives to develop" and the SAMP defines "how to
fulfilr the AM objectives. The SAMP is also used "to guide its AMS in the development of its asset
management plans(AMPs)."2°
ISO 55001 places responsibility with leadership for assuring that a SAMP is established and aligned with
the AM policy, AM objectives, and AMPs.21
ISO 55002 guidance on the SAMP is that they should explain the relationship between organizational and
AM objectives and reiterate that these objectives should be aligned. The SAMP should document the AM
objectives and define the framework for achieving the objectives to include the organizational structure,
roles and responsibilities, and resources. The SAMP should incorporate stakeholder's expectations and
requirements, document the decision-making criteria, and be used for the development of AMPs.22 Figure

6.2.3 AM Objectives
ISO 55000 says very little on AM objectives other than that they are needed to articulate a particular
outcome or "result to be achieved" and that the AM objectives should be aligned with AM policy and the
SAMP.23
ISO 55001 provides prescriptive requirements to manage the objectives but does not delineate the make-
up of the AM objectives. The requirement to align the AM objectives with organization objectives AM
policy and SAIVIP is reiterated. ISO 55001 also indicates that AM objectives' performance shall be
measurable, monitored, reviewed, and communicated.24
ISO 55002 guidance on AM objectives is that they be SMART (specific, measurable, achievable,
realistic, and time-bound) and that the objectives should be linked with the AMPs. Additional guidance is
that the AM objectives should consider asset risks and "importance of assets related to their intended
outcomes"(i.e., asset criticality).25
To assure that the AM objectives are aligned with Sandia's Corporate Strategic Plan & Objectives,
Figure 9: Asset Management Objectives Framework, identifies inputs that should be considered when
developing the AM objectives.

6.2.4 AM Strategies
ISO 55000, 55001, and 55002 are all but silent on the requirement for or the development of AM
strategies. However, AM strategies provide guidance on how to achieve the AM objectives and are
necessary to drive a common approach to [Link] AIVI strategies provide approaches to drive what AM
activities (i.e., planning and execution) are necessary to successfully achieve the AM objectives and
ultimately the corporate AM objectives. To assure a common approach to AIVI, Figure 10: Asset
Management Strategies Framework identifies strategies that promulgate a structured approach to AM.

ISO 55000, 55001, and 55002 are silent on the framework for LCAM. However,throughout these
documents, there are many references indicating that managing assets throughout their lifecycle phases is
required. The most common description for the lifecycle phases of physical assets are planning,
acquisition, sustainment, and disposition. The planning and acquisition phases are often combined into
the planning phase. The acquisition phase is often separated into construction and commissioning phases.
Additionally, the sustainment phase is often separated into operations and maintenance phases.
DOE 430.1C identifies asset lifecycle phases as planning a ndbudgeting, acquisition, sustainment, and
disposition. The Contracts Requirements Document in the NNSA 430.1 Supplemental Directive lists the
asset lifecycle phases as planning, maintenance and modernization, and disposition. Additionally, the
NNSA Real Property Asset Management(RPAM)Guide identifies the asset lifecycle phases as
acquisition, sustainment, and disposition. Regardless of the definition chosen for asset lifecycle phases,
managing an asset using the cradle to grave concept is inclusive of all the lifecycle phases. For the
purpose of the AM architecture, asset lifecycle phases will consist ofthe planning (cradle), sustainment
(maturity), and disposition (grave).
The overarching LCAM activities inherent in the asset lifecycle phases include planning and execution,
performance monitoring and evaluation, and continuous improvement. Figure 11: Lifecycle Asset
Management Framework shows the relationship between asset lifecycle phases and LCAM.

LCAM planning is an AM activity necessary to ensure new assets are acquired to meet mission
requirements, existing assets are managed to minimize lifecycle cost while maximizing the asset's value,
and assets are properly dispositioned in a timely manner LCAM planning focuses on the requirements for
the assets, the assets' purpose, the timeframe the assets are needed, the assets' abilities, condition of
existing assets, sustaining the assets, and disposition ofthe assets. The outputs from the LCAM planning
efforts are executable AMPs specifically Area AMPs(Area Plans) and Lifecycle AMPs or LCAMPs. The
Area Plans and LCAMPs are integrated (linked) working documents.
The Area Plans are considered strategic plans that focus on infrastructure capabilities needed to meet
mission requirements. Area Plans define the "what needs to be done and when it needs to be done for
acquiring new and disposing of existing major assets, and modernizing, recapitalizing, and rebuilding
major assets. Area Plans are coordinated with NA-50. LCAMPs are generally considered tactical and
operational plans but can have a strategic component as well. As with Area Plans, the primary focus of
LCAMPs is to address the "what needs to be done and when it needs to be done of sustainment efforts.
LCAMPs also have a role with the planning and disposition asset lifecycle phases but are more to ensure
that the existing assets' purposes are sustained for a time horizon aligned with the mission need. The
LCAMP's scope is the LCAM of existing infrastructure and building system assets with the goal of
sustaining the assets' capability, availability, and reliability throughout their useful lives. Figure 12:
LCAM Planning Framework shows the LCAM planning activities necessary for the development and
execution ofthe Area Plans as well as LCAMPs.

LCAM execution responsibility resides within several depat ments within Center 4700, most
predominately the Maintenance Services Departments (electrical, mechanical, and structural) and the
Project & Construction Management Services Departments. The success ofLCAM requires crosscutting
integration between Facilities on multiple levels. The interrelationship and interdependencies are worth
noting.
Sustainment and modernization plans from Center 4850 Site Planning & Engineering efforts are inputs to
Center 4700's Project & Construction Management Departments, which then execute the projects. Group
4850's Reliability-Centered Maintenance and LCAMP efforts directly affect the Maintenance Services
Departments for modification and execution of maintenance activities. An aspect ofLCAM execution is
implementing the inputs from several different entities within the LCAM planning activity. Outputs from
the LCAM execution provide feedback into the LCAM planning activity. However,feedback rarely
occurs prior to execution completion. The feedback loop should explicitly exist in the LCAMP at all
phases of execution back to Center 4800 entities for LCAM to be successful.
Since the outputs of the LCAM planning activity only specify "what needs to be done" and "when it
needs to be done," the "how it needs to be done relative to implementing Center 4800 planning inputs
rests with Center 4700. Although project managers and maintenance personnel have a certain depth of

knowledge concerning Sandia's assets, a formalized asset ownership (a predominately missing link)
model needs to exist within Facilities. The "how it needs to be done of sustainment is as, if not more,
important than planning the "what."
LCAM planning and execution must be a collaborative and integrated effort within Facilities to ensure
that the effectiveness and efficiency of LCAM is optimized. LCAM planning and execution must work in
concert with the LCAM performance monitoring and evaluation to provide assurance that the AM
objectives are achieved. Moreover,if AM objectives are not being achieved, LCAM planning and
execution must work collectively to determine the underlying causal factor(s) and identify LCAM
planning and/or execution improvement opportunities. Therefore, LCAM planning and execution are
overlapping activities and must be performed in coordination with rather than in isolation from one
another. Figure 13: LCAM Execution Framework shows the LCAM execution activities necessary to
achieve the AM objectives and to contribute to the continual improvement of the LCAM planning
activities.

ISO 55000 indicates that assets and the AMS should be continuously evaluated to determine if AM
objectives are being fulfilled in an effective and efficient manner 26
ISO 55001 requires a method be developed to determine what to monitor, how to monitor, when to
monitor, and that monitoring data be evaluated to manage risk and identify opportunities for
improvement.27
ISO 55002 guidance recommends that a process be developed to regularly conduct performance
monitoring and evaluation to ascertain the performance of the AMS,AM,and assets. The results ofthe
analysis should be used to manage risk and continually improve the performance of the AMS,AM,and
assets.28 Figure 14: LCAM Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Framework identifies the inputs to
PME.

ISO 55000 provides little information on CI other than to indicate that it applies to assets, AM,and the
AMS,and that improvements can be identified through the PME process and evaluation of non-
conformities.29
ISO 55001 requires that corrective and preventive action processes be in place to mitigate the
consequences of non-conformities and to prevent the recurrence. These processes should evaluate the
non-conformity to determine its cause and identify improvement opportunities to prevent recurrence.
Additionally, established processes shall "proactively identify potential failures in asset performance..."30
