| A formal capital asset management infrastructure is a best practice used throughout industry and by many companies to establish clear lines of authority, responsibility, and accountability for the management of capital assets. An executive review committee, acting for or with the management Head, should be responsible for reviewing the company’s entire capital asset portfolio on a periodic basis and making decisions on the proper composition of the assets to achieve strategic goals and objectives within the budget limits. This committee should be composed of the senior operations executives, and the chief information, financial, budget and procurement officers. An Integrated Project Team(s) (IPT) composed of a qualified program manager, and necessary personnel from the user community, budget, accounting, procurement, value management, and other functions should be formed, as appropriate, to: (1) establish a baseline inventory of existing capital assets; (2) analyze and recommend alternative solutions; (3) manage the acquisition if approved; and (4) manage the asset once in use. A sound financial management system is another key ingredient for sound decision making. | |||||
