Risiko-orientiertes Asset-Management

Forced by pressure from the regulatory authorities, network operators in the liberalized market are increasingly confronted with the need to reduce maintenance costs and expenses for replacement investments while ensuring system availability determined by performance indices in parallel. Measures to enhance efficiency alone do not suffice to fulfil these requirements. Rather, risk-based asset management is well suited to reduce costs while ensuring network quality at the same time. It analyzes the reliability and (economic) importance of operating resources and estimates the monetary risk assessed over a longer timeframe. With the proven-in-practice risk-based asset management methodology developed jointly by A.T. Kearney and Salzburg AG, Austria, savings of approximately 15% of the controllable costs in the network can be achieved with nearly constant risk.
