Building Assets - Managing Cost and Value

 

Performance concepts in relation to build asset have moved from an emphasis on economy and efficiency to include other aspects of performance.  This paradigm shift towards a more balanced approach supports the drive to manage both cost and value in the acquisition and use of build asset. 

 

Mr Tan presented a new approach to manage both cost and value and outlined some of the existing and proposed key performance indicators and performance frameworks.

Unpacking Performance Measurements for Building Assets - Concepts and Issues

Performance Benchmarking is currently 'hot topic' in conversations within professional circles of both private and public sector organizations.  The philosophy behind performance benchmarking is comparative analysis with an emphasis on 'analysis', not meaningless numerical comparison with a bias towards positioning within 'league tables'.

Dr Then unpacked the components required for performance monitoring and discuss some of the key issues that need to be resolved internally by an organization before the process of external benchmarking can be of value.
