Over the last few years, Engineering Asset Management has been gaining attention and gathering momentum as a professional discipline. This is attributable to the fact that engineering assets have acquired a very strategic and a very sensitive business role in the modern socio-economical, political, and technological settings. Traditionally, the term ‘Asset Management’ has limited itself to implying financial assets. However, the increasingly popular Engineering Asset Management focuses purely on physical assets, such as production/process/manufacturing facilities or plants, infrastructure assets, etc, as well as their support systems, owned by industrial or governmental sectors.
The discipline of Engineering Asset Management is dedicated to the development and application of engineering and managerial solutions to make physical assets, safe, productive, efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly. Thus, it promotes a very multi-disciplinary thinking and practice integrating key issues, such as economics, engineering, management, regulations, technology, services, data, human and organisation, etc., to create value for stakeholders realising competitive business advantage. In essence, excellence in Engineering Asset Management is meant to deliver outstanding results in economical, environmental, and social terms. IJSEAM aims at compiling excellent scholarly work as well as interesting practical cases and lessons learnt within various disciplines related to Engineering Asset Management.
Objectives
A good amount of work has now begun to appear from all over the globe focusing on achieving success in Engineering Asset Management. Valuable knowledge has been created, experience has been gathered, and contributions have been made. A considerable amount of resources and expertise have been utilised in finding solutions to realise global leadership and excellence in Engineering Asset Management in various corners of the world. A significant amount of research has been done and novel and innovative solutions have been put into practice. This has brought about a tremendous amount of learning both in terms of research and applications.
IJSEAM is committed to a global purpose of sharing valuable information and promoting knowledge for further progress of the discipline bringing together research and practice. Thus IJSEAM provides an excellent opportunity for both leading researchers and expert practitioners to communicate their pioneering work to a greater global audience both in academia and industry. Accordingly, IJSEAM also serves as a major source of reference for those around the world who have a passion about Engineering Asset Management.
Readership
IJSEAM serves a wide readership which includes industrial professionals, academics, researchers, policy makers, regulatory bodies, and others who are working in the areas and/or have a passion related to the growing field of Engineering Asset Management. It provides a vehicle to disseminate information, to learn from the pioneering work of experts, to promote understanding and knowledge, and thus to contribute to the professional growth of the discipline.
