Template Overview
Objective: Gain an understanding of what a Template is in Assetic Predictor
The Template provides the structure and the framework of a strategic asset management model.
Once the template has been configured in Predictor, simulation scenarios can be run to view the predicted outputs. Each template created will correspond to a specific asset category within a portfolio. It is recommended that separate templates be created for each asset category or asset class or asset type being modeled.
Once a template is created, the following elements will be available for configuration:
Data – which is the source data utilized in the model, which can be imported directly from an external repository using Excel or sourced via integration directly with a corporate Asset Register.
Model - allows for the configuration of the service criteria and treatment constraint criteria drivers which will trigger in the model and select the corresponding assets that will provide the most optimal benefit as a result of the selected treatment.
Strategy - allows for the configuration of treatment unit costs, maintenance costs, annual financial budget allocations and benefit variation rates. These will be used by the model to forecast the capital cost of each treatment and the likely impact on the maintenance budget as a result of an allocated financial strategy.
