Asset Management and Maintenance Planning Guideline
Asset Management and Maintenance Planning Guideline
1. Purpose
The intent of this guideline is to provide best practice recommendations for asset management and
maintenance planning activities related to building assets and their supporting infrastructure.
This guideline forms part of the Asset management and maintenance policy (QH-POL-354:2015) and
Asset management and maintenance standard (QH-IMP-354-1:2015).
All departments (as defined in Section 8 of the Financial Accountability Act 2009) must comply with
the requirements of the Maintenance Management Framework (MMF). The MMF identifies the policy
requirements to prepare a maintenance strategy, develop a strategic maintenance plan, assess
maintenance demand, allocate adequate maintenance budgets and develop an annual maintenance
works program.
2. Scope
This guideline applies to all employees, contractors and consultants within the Department of Health
divisions and commercialised business units (DoH-CBUs) and does not apply to health technology
equipment or information communication technology equipment.
This guideline can be used by Hospital and Health Services either as it is, by re-branding or as a base
for a Hospital and Health Service specific guideline.
3. Requirements
3.1 Objectives
Asset management and maintenance planning should support the following:
• building and infrastructure maintenance work that complies with legislation, government
policy and best practice requirements while effectively managing associated risks
• appropriate management of whole-of-life building and infrastructure costs
• maintain the physical condition and standard of buildings and supporting infrastructure to
ensure continuity of service delivery functions.
3.2 Asset management and maintenance plan
The Asset Management and Maintenance Plan (AMMP) is a key output of the maintenance
planning process and provides a review of past, current and a forward three year focus on
maintenance planning. The AMMP is an integral element for development of the Total Asset
Management Plan (TAMP) and identifies:
• maintenance requirements
• maintenance strategies and implementation responsibilities
• building maintenance works program
• maintenance budgeting
• perceived risks and proposed mitigation strategies for works not programmed
• continuous improvement opportunities through benchmarking and performance review
• asset management capability.
A specific AMMP template has been established to assist in the development of annual AMMPs.
It provides a consistent structured tool to identify and record maintenance requirements,
strategies, planned expenditure and the program of works. Detailed instructions and guidance
on how to develop and complete the AMMP are provided within the template. The template is
reviewed and updated annually by the Assets and Facilities Unit. The current version of the
template and associated excel spreadsheets can be sourced via the Asset Services Team: A-Z
Directory of Useful Links on QHEPS.
Roles and responsibilities associated with building asset management and maintenance
planning are defined in Appendices 1 and 2.
3.3 Identification of the asset portfolio and information
It is essential to ensure that all building assets are identified and that associated master data is
appropriately maintained. Prior to the preparation of the AMMP, the Finance and Materials
Management Information System (FAMMIS) asset register should be reviewed and reconciled
with data in the Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to ensure financial
assets and maintainable assets are identical to those listed in the AMMP for maintenance
purposes. Refer to the Single asset identifier (SAID) guideline for further information on the
numbering system for identifying and recording assets and maintainable items.
As the CMMS is the source for all maintenance data used to develop AMMPs, it is crucial that
the CMMS data integrity is maintained at all times. Maintaining the accuracy of condition
assessment data within the CMMS is critical as this data is used to develop condition-based
maintenance strategies and inform the maintenance works program.
The AMMP utilises information sourced from the CMMS which includes the maintenance activity
data. The CMMS activity types, descriptions, examples, work order types and maintenance
category (planned or unplanned) are provided in Appendix 3. Failure to allocate work under the
correct activity type may distort information and impact on benchmarking and performance
reporting. For further information on maintenance information management refer to the
Maintenance information management guideline.
All asbestos containing materials in buildings whether confirmed or assumed, is to be identified
and recorded in the CMMS, as this is the data source for all Queensland Health asbestos
registers. This is critical to inform asbestos management requirements and scheduled asbestos
surveys. The Queensland Government Asbestos Management Policy for its Assets and the
Asbestos management guideline provides further information on asbestos management.
3.4 Benchmarking and performance review
Key performance indicators (KPIs) are available within the Decision Support System (DSS) and
have been incorporated into the AMMP template to facilitate benchmarking and performance
review. This also assists to identify areas requiring improvement and to guide future planning
strategies.
Once completed, the AMMP will identify the annual maintenance budget for the planned year
which in turn determines the maintenance expenditure target for KPI 2 for benchmarking and
performance reporting for that budget cycle. For further detail on the KPIs refer to the
Benchmarking and performance indicators guideline.
3.5 Maintenance demand assessment
A maintenance demand assessment must be undertaken to financially quantify and ascertain
the maintenance requirements as part of the AMMP process. This process includes all
maintainable, financial and leased assets, components, elements, systems services, plant and
equipment for a building asset and its supporting infrastructure. The scope of the maintenance
work in the demand assessment process should include the following:

Term Definition
Asset A resource controlled by the entity as a result of past events and
from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the
entity.
Asset management and A structured tool that demonstrates a plan for managing, recording
maintenance plan and reporting asset activities including planned expenditure through
a program of works, asset management and maintenance strategies,
performance, risk management and related actions to assist in
budget discussions with finance departments and executive
management.
Computerised Maintenance The CMMS (SAP Plant Maintenance Module) is Queensland Health’s
Management System (CMMS) corporate asset maintenance system which is used to identify,
manage and maintain the buildings and associated infrastructure. It
is a module within FAMMIS. The CMMS provides comprehensive
reporting on all aspects of maintenance activities and performance.
Finance and Materials A computer based integrated business management solution which
Management Information System utilises SAP enterprise resource planning software and contains
(FAMMIS) financial, asset accounting, materials management and maintenance
information.
Total Asset Management Plan An overall summary plan that consolidates all separate asset
management plans into a single organisational plan. The TAMP will
cover the total lifecycle of an asset from conception, creation,
maintenance and operation to disposal.
