Designation:E267509(Reapproved 2014)Standard Practice forProperty Management System Outcomes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2675;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.1.Scope1.1 This practice describes expected outcomes associatedwith a property management system.It is a measure ofachievement rather than process,and is descriptive rather thanprescriptive.1.2 Outcomes are defined as information,events,objects,orstates of being produced as a result or consequence of a plan,process,accident,effort,or other similar action or occurrence.1.3 An output measure is the tabulation,calculation,orrecording of activity or effort and can be expressed in aquantitative or qualitative manner.1.4 An outcome measure is an assessment of the results ofa program activity compared to its intended purpose.1.5 Consistent with Practice E2452,these outcomes aregrouped into process management outcomes and operationaloutcomes.1.5.1 Although they may be directly related,strategies andtactics should not be confused with outcomes.Strategies arelong-term plans of action designed to achieve a particular goal.Tactics are maneuvers or actions calculated to achieve someend.For example,increasing exercise is a strategy to attain thegoal or outcome of fitness.Running is a supporting tactic toachieve the goal or outcome of fitness.Other tactics or groupsof tactics may achieve the same outcome.On the other hand,asthe definition of outcome indicates,tactics are not required forattaining outcomes.For example,fitness may be an unplannedresult of a job requiring physical exertion.1.6 This practice describes the outcomes at a high level,with limited discussion of each outcome or components of eachoutcome.The intent is to provide a framework for current andpotential additional standards.A cross reference relating cur-rent standards to the outcomes is provided in Section 5.1.7 The outcomes further described in Section 5,are listedin the following:1.7.1 Process Management Outcomes:1.7.1.1 Outcome 1Mission Support1.7.1.2 Outcome 2Accounting and Accountability1.7.1.3 Outcome 3Information Management1.7.1.4 Outcome 4Planning1.7.1.5 Outcome 5Relationships1.7.2 Operational Outcomes:1.7.2.1 Outcome 6Property Functionality1.7.2.2 Outcome 7Resource Optimization1.7.2.3 Outcome 8Property Visibility1.7.2.4 Outcome 9Safety and Security1.7.2.5 Outcome 10Installation,Movement,and Storage1.8 In Section 5,a rating scale is provided to quantify in auniform manner achievement of outcomes and outcome com-ponents.1.9 This practice,in combination with Practice E2279,clarifies and enables effective and efficient control and trackingof property and may provide an enhanced basis for makingdecisions surrounding both property and property managementsystems.1.10 This practice is intended to be applicable and appro-priate for all property-holding entities.1.11 This practice covers tangible property as defined inTerminology E2135.Consistent with the nomenclature used,individual portions of the practice may be applicable to morelimited subsets of tangible property,for example to equipmentand not to material.1.12 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 and1This 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 June 1,2014.Published June 2014.Originallyapproved in 2009.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as E267509.DOI:10.1520/E2675-09R14.2For 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.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 Physical Inventory of AssetsE2135 Terminology for Property and Asset ManagementE2221 Practice for Administrative Control of Property(Withdrawn 2011)3E2279 Practice for Establishing the Guiding Principles ofProperty ManagementE2306 Practice for Disposal of Personal PropertyE2378 Practice for the Recognition of Impaired or RetiredPersonal PropertyE2379 Practice for Property Management for Career Devel-opment and Training(Withdrawn 2013)3E2452 Practice for Equipment Management Process Matu-rity
