Designation:E245212Standard Practice forEquipment Management Process Maturity(EMPM)Model1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2452;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONLife-cycle equipment management has a great impact on business operations of almost all entities.In fact,the success or failure on an entity may hinge on how effectively and efficiently an entityperforms in the equipment management life-cycle.Entities that sustain high maturity levels willgenerally be more effective or competitive or both than entities with lower maturity levels in that theseentities will more efficiently and effectively acquire what is needed,use and control equipment better,and dispose of equipment when no longer sufficiently suitable for operations.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers a process for the assessment andreporting of an entitys overall equipment management processmaturity(EMPM).1.2 The highest value is placed on continuous improvementas reflected in measured increases in maturity over time.1.3 The EMPM model is designed to be applicable andappropriate for all equipment-holding entities,however,theEMPM may not be the only acceptable assessment modelavailable.1.4 It includes all aspects of equipment management.1.5 In addition to applicability to equipment and equipmentmanagement as defined in this practice,this practice may inwhole or in part be effectively applied to intangible property,real property,and material.1.6 There is great variation across organizations regardingthe internal departments that accomplish the various aspects ofequipment management.Thus,all criteria are not applicable toall entities.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E2131 Practice forAddressing and Reporting Loss,Damage,or Destruction of Tangible PropertyE2132 Practice for Inventory Verification:Electronic andPhysical Inventory of AssetsE2135 Terminology for Property and Asset ManagementE2219 Practice for Valuation and Management of Moveable,Durable Property(Withdrawn 2009)3E2220 Practice for Establishing the Full Valuation of theLoss/Overage Population Identified During the Inventoryof Moveable,Durable Property(Withdrawn 2009)3E2221 Practice for Administrative Control of Property(Withdrawn 2011)3E2279 Practice for Establishing the Guiding Principles ofProperty Management3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 entity,nagency,company,organization,or institu-tion.3.1.2 equipment,nnon-expendable,tangible,moveableproperty needed for the performance of a task or useful ineffecting an obligation.E21353.1.3 equipment management,nsystematic planning andcontrol of equipment to optimize its service delivery potentialand the management of associated risks and costs throughoutits life-cycle in support of organizational objectives.This1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E53 on AssetManagement and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E53.05 on PropertyManagement Maturity.Current edition approved Sept.15,2012.Published October 2012.Originallyapproved in 2005.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as E2452 10.DOI:10.1520/E2452-12.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 includes the process management and operations of acquisitionor construction of the equipment;its operation,maintenance,and modification while in use;and its disposal when no longerrequired.3.1.4 operations,nexercise of the tasks that constituteequipment management.3.1.5 practice,na definitive set of instructions for per-forming one or more specific operations that does not producea test result.Form and Style43.1.5.1 DiscussionOf the several types of standards listedin the Form and Style forASTM Standards guide,this standardis of the type designated as a practice.3.2 Acronyms:3.2.1 CIPconstruction in progress3.2.2 EMPMequipment management process maturity4.Summary of Practice4.1 The EMPM model provides insight into the effective-ness of an entity as it acquires,uses,and disposes of theequipment necessary to the functioning of the entity.It enablesa holistic approach and vision for achieving cost-effective,responsive equipment a
