Book Description

085298958X 978-0852989586 April 19, 1996 1
Physical assets (buildings, machinery, production lines, service equipment and technological hardware), are costly to run, maintain and operate. All businesses need to plan and manage their assets in the most economically advantageous way. Despite this, many of those responsible have little experience or training in the techniques required. The concepts of economic management, such as resource management, life cycle costing and through life costing, must be fully understood to ensure that the user of the assets gets the very best possible value for his money. Using clear and non-technical jargon, this book provides an understanding of the main principles and practices of terotechnology. Written for all levels of professional staff, it not only provides guidance to middle managers who have to suggest, promote or control developments in their firm or organization, but also gives senior managers a guide to promoting a more economically-aware staff.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is rubbish, October 14, 2008
This review is from: The Economic Management of Physical Assets (Hardcover)
This book costs $137 and after you have read it you are no way closer to understanding how to manage an asset. It is 140 pages of very general information about asset management/terotechnology. It won't give any guidance on how to implement or actually do anything to improve the way you manage an asset.

A really dissapointing book considering I paid $137 for it. You don't need it! Buy three other books instead for the price of this one.
