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 .
