Checking water pump and pressure gauge in a building
of maintenance required, the extent of damage,
the repair methods to be implemented effectively
and ensures that sufficient budget is provided.
Furthermore, BCA provides a diagnostic tool for
solving building problems whiich are then referred
to the Expert Forensic Structure Branch and Civil,
Mechanical and Electrical in PWD for proposed
repair methods.
Secondly, another innovative product is the
Guidelines for Asset Maintenance Performance
Level (TPPA). These guidelines were developed to
guide to all Government agencies in determining
the current status of their asset maintenance
performance and the standards to be achieved.
TPPA consists of measuring the performance
of maintenance practices for the purpose of
identifying actual levels of performance that have
been achieved.
Thirdly, the guidelines for Life Cycle Cost (LCC)
of an asset were produced on November 7, 2012,
with the purpose of explaining the LCC method
of calculating the cost of new buildings and
infrastructure for new projects and existing assets
that are managed by the Government. The LCC
approach is used in the decision-making process
related to the asset cost and project management.
LCC is a systematic method to calculate the total of
acquisition costs and total cost of ownership over
the asset life cycle. LCC is one of the management
tools supporting TAM strategy. LCC takes into
account the costs involved in planning, design,
procurement, construction, commissioning,
acceptance, operation and maintenance,
evaluation, renovation and upgrades and disposal.
The LCC calculation method is indispensable
in value management (VM) and in the Accrual
Accounting System. This was the main reason
the guidelines were distributed to all PWD
departments, but its use can be extended to other
Government agencies. The benefits of using LCC
in project implementation and asset and facilities
management is the optimisation of costs, cost-
effectiveness, high return on investment and
value for money.
DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES
Dynamic capabilities can be explained as
the ability of an organisation to develop,
integrate, and reconfigure internal and external
competencies to sustain a competitive advantage
