HOS201A - Design & Maintenance of Assets in Hospitality Industry

This presentation provides an overview of asset design and maintenance (ADM) within the hospitality sector, emphasizing its importance in improving the safety, reliability, availability, and longevity of physical assets. It covers key areas of ADM, including strategy and reliability improvement, reliability planning and maintenance, control and execution, and monitoring and improvement. The presentation also highlights the prior knowledge requirements for effective ADM, such as understanding the current state of assets and model development, and discusses the processes involved, including prioritizing capital assets and forecasting asset replacement. Furthermore, it outlines the determinants of success, such as timely execution and data-driven decision-making, and the design criteria influenced by increased customer demands and technological advancements. The presentation concludes by stressing the importance of process, data, qualified personnel, and technology for successful ADM, recommending the adoption of an effective organizational structure, qualified staff, and timely execution of maintenance processes.

Scope of the Presentation
In addressing the concept of asset design and
maintenance, focus will be given to;
 Introduction of the concept
 Importance of asset design and maintenance
(ADM)
 Key areas of ADM
 Prior knowledge requirements and process
involved
 Design criteria and determinants of success
 Conclusion and recommendation

Introduction
In the aspect of asset design and
maintenance (ADM)have definition changes
Definition: is a continuous improvement
strategy process of systems, processes,
facilities, and equipment (Dwight, & Zhang,
2014).
Aim: improving the safety, reliability,
availability, and longevity of a physical asset.

Importance of ADM
Like any other constructions process, asset
design and management is essential in;
 Knowing the assets an organization owns for
proper monitoring and maintenance
 Evaluating the design criteria and the conditions
of their operation
 Developing the asset programs and maintenance
care to ensure reliable performance of each asset
Importance: these activities help in cost
optimization in the asset operation

Key areas of ADM
The implementation and
design of the overall
asset process is based
on four main areas
 Strategy and reliability
improvement
 Reliability planning and
maintenance
 Control and execution
 Monitoring and
improvement

Maintaining a Hotel Facility
This success of the above process based on;
 performance
 capacity of the assets
 Performance reliability
 Product quality based on the functionality of
the asset
 Understanding of the cost and associated
risks

Prior Knowledge Requirements
To achieve an effective process of ADM, an
individual requires knowledge on;
- The current state of the assets (Dwight, &
Zhang, 2014).
 Model development in target
 The business case calculation of the assets
 The implementation and sustenance changes

Processes Involved

Cont..
The effectiveness of the above process
requires the organization to;
 Prioritize capital assets on the basis of the
strategic objectives
 Forecast asset replacement, expansion, or
renewal
 Funding requirements for the maintenance

Cont.….
Benefits of continued
maintenance of the
design;
 Better engineering design
levels can be achieved
 Creation of high
reliability components
 Elimination of failures
 Evaluation of powerful
methodology for failure
cause removal and defect
elimination

Determinants of Success
The successful execution of asset design and
maintenance depends on;
- Timely execution
- Thorough planning and analysis
 Adoption of most effective data-driven
decision-making
 Optimum delivery (Gilmore, 2009)

Design Criteria
Organizations are pushed
beyond their asset design
capacity due to;
 Increased customer
demands
 Modification and diversity
 Technological
advancement and
adoption
 Stiff competition and
increased customer
preferences
