Read Marcus Overview

This document provides a thorough visual taxonomy of key business processes related to acquiring, constructing, and managing assets based on APQC's cross-industry process classification system (PCF), the most used process framework globally.

A process classification framework can be utilized in many practical ways. For example, it can provide a:

1. framework and checklist of processes when scoping process-related projects
2. starting point for a process documentation, offering a detailed list of processes to use in process flows, maps, and/or models
3. basis for structuring a process repository, whether using a sophisticated software or simple folders
4. foundation for undertaking process-related benchmarking and generating business analytics

This document follows the structure, and facilitates the usage, of APQC's PCF v7.3.1. It includes 4 process groups, 16 processes, and 48 process activities related to acquiring, constructing, and managing assets.

Topic FAQ

What is the APQC Process Classification Framework and how does it apply to asset management?

The APQC Process Classification Framework is an open standard for organizing and benchmarking business processes. For asset management, it provides a hierarchical taxonomy from high-level categories down to tasks, enabling consistent documentation, benchmarking, and analytics; the deck follows APQC PCF v7.3.1.

What are the typical process categories covered under asset management?

Asset management process categories commonly include acquiring, constructing, maintaining, and disposing of assets. Each category can be broken into sub-processes and activities for documentation and benchmarking; the presentation maps these into 4 process groups, 16 processes, and 48 process activities.

How can a process classification framework support benchmarking of asset management practices?

A process classification framework creates standardized process definitions and a checklist to compare current practices against industry norms, helping identify gaps and improvement areas. The presentation supplies benchmarking checklists and a taxonomy aligned to APQC PCF v7.3.1 to support that work.

What are the PCF levels and how do they structure processes for documentation?

PCF levels structure processes hierarchically from broad process categories down through sub-processes, process groups, and tasks, which aids consistent mapping and documentation. The presentation includes a slide on PCF Levels that illustrates levels from categories to tasks.

What should I look for in an asset-management process toolkit when deciding to buy one?

Look for APQC alignment, clear taxonomy visualizations, process documentation templates, benchmarking checklists, repository-structuring frameworks, and mapping/modeling tools to accelerate scoping and documentation; the Key Business Processes | Asset Management slide deck includes these deliverables.

How adaptable is a cross-industry PCF for industry-specific asset management needs?

A cross-industry PCF is designed to be adaptable: organizations can tailor taxonomy elements, adjust benchmarking metrics, and incorporate industry-specific terminology into templates and process flows; the document includes customization guidance for tailoring the PCF.

I need to scope an asset-management improvement project—what should my initial steps be?

Begin by using a process taxonomy as a scoping checklist, map current-state processes against that taxonomy, capture process documentation, and run benchmarking to identify gaps. The presentation can be used to structure those activities and provides process documentation templates to start the work.

How should I structure a process repository for asset management documentation?

Use a consistent taxonomy and folder or software structure aligned to process categories, sub-processes, and tasks so documentation is discoverable and comparable. The presentation offers frameworks for structuring a process repository suitable for either simple folders or more advanced software implementations.
