Asset Care Service
Is your maintenance and reliability capacity enough to ensure your business remains competitive?
A structured asset management programme that consists of formal business processes, with supporting technologies and skilled people to plan and execute work plays a significant role in the success of any business.
Compliance, accurate record-keeping, cost reduction and resource constraints, combined with a need to improve reliability, service levels, quick retrieval of information for decision-making, and strategic assistance, are common challenges that our new clients, irrespective of their industry, face daily.
Suppose your organisation does not have the time and budget to invest in a fully-fledged asset management team but needs to quickly mature its AM practices and get the most out of its equipment, machinery or plant. Or, you require the expertise to ensure proper planning and scheduling, contractor management, reliability engineering and maintenance management. Does either of these scenarios sound familiar? Then Pragma’s Asset Care Service is your answer.
The value of a strategic asset management partnership
A partnership requires dual responsibility and leads to shared successes.
Assess the current maturity and performance of your asset management (AM) practices and see where you are on our AM roadmap.

Our approach
When signing up a new client, we conduct a gap assessment to determine how mature the client’s asset management practices are and what they need to have in place to ensure a more stable, predictable environment.
Informed by the assessment results and collaboration with the client, an AM strategy, AM policy, KPIs and an AM roadmap are developed. Based on this information, a customised Asset Care Service team is established to execute the AM strategy.
In addition, monthly and quarterly feedback sessions are critical client touch points to monitor progress on client goals.
What is an Asset Care Service?
Our asset care service synergistically brings together people, processes and technology to execute your asset management strategy. The service slots in with your existing maintenance team to manage your assets to support your bigger overall organisational objectives.
Typically, the service complements your existing maintenance and reliability team with Pragma’s engineers, planners and schedulers with an agreed day-to-day maintenance management activities via an Asset Care Service (ACS). These experts are continuously trained to apply Pragma’s business processes and tools to ensure that your equipment, machinery, or other physical assets are reliable and correctly maintained.
