1. WERF’s “AMPLE” Project AMPLE - Asset Management Program Learning Environment A Knowledge Management System

2. Why an Asset Management Knowledge Management System? • “A recent WERF Subscriber Survey indicated that asset management is a priority issue for utilities. • Respondents ranked it fifth among 20 categories… • 60 percent of respondents ranked asset management a first or second priority…”

3. Objective of WERF’s AMPLE Project “The objective [of the research] is to present a means by which an intelligent but uninformed person could gain: • an understanding of the principles of asset management at the highest level; • the essential components of a state-of the-art asset management program at sufficient detail to gain a sound understanding; • and enough ‘how to do it’ information to begin a program.”

4. Purpose of AMPLE • “To make asset management comprehensible and to promote information exchange, a web-based Asset Management Program Learning Environment (AMPLE) is envisioned serving the above audience and designed to cater to various needs and experience levels.”
