Asset management is a systematic process of maintaining, upgrading, and operating physical assets cost-effectively.  It combines engineering principles with sound business practices and economic theory, and it provides tools to facilitate a more organized, logical approach to decision-making.  Thus, asset management provides a framework for handling both short and long range planning.
