The quantity of asset data continues to grow, with internal value reflected in education, management, and services, while external value is reflected in policies, resources and reputation. Therefore, effective management of university assets is particularly important. Blockchain is an important infrastructure for Digital transformation, which provides a trusted environment for the occurrence of various collaborations and will reshape many collaboration mechanisms. This paper discusses the current situation and problems faced by universities in the process of Digital transformation. We analyze the development opportunities brought about by Digital transformation and the specific problems faced by physical asset management in detail. We discuss the data platform optimization, asset data application, digital asset security, planning strategy, and construction path of digital transformation involved in the physical asset management of universities.展开更多

So they are usually obligated by regulators to invest on reliability improvement of network. But this investment on reliability is usually from the DISCO’s viewpoint and is also irrespective of customer satisfaction level. In other words, customers are not at the same level of sensitivity to interruptions but DISCO improves the reliability of network without considering the differences in importance degree of loads and their level of reliability requirement. On the other hand DISCOs attempt to reduce their investment costs as much as possible. This paper introduces a novel approach in the field of joint switch placement that can reduce the switch cost from the perspective of asset management policies. To this end, two switch placement plannings in different types of strategies are performed to compare their results. Firstly as witch placement is performed based on reducing the total energy not supplied (ENS) of the system. Then by revising the strategy, a fuzzy switch placement is performed from the DISCO’s point of view which just considers the total ENS of load points most sensitive to interruptions known as important or critical loads. Furthermore, by meeting the related constraints, the reliability of low sensitive customers is disregarded. This is a load importance based planning which can result in switch cost reduction relative to the amount achieved in previous strategy and implies the management of risks associated with reliability and respective constraint. Fuzzy method and new switching mechanism in fuzzy environment of network are implemented to modeling and controlling the risks associated to ENS of critical loads and also the ENS of system.展开更多

The investigation explores a number of significant topics in which managers should begin contemplating, including workforce origination post automation and the primary skills necessary to facilitate augmentation, and how robot advisors could challenge an organisation’s value proposition. The investigation was centered on Jupiter Asset Management （JAM） to support their preparations for automation, as well as to provide insight from the “grass roots”. Research centered on interviews with experienced individuals within automation and asset management. The first interviewee was Simon Crawford, a Fixed Income, Multi-Asset Performance, and Risk Manager. The second interviewee was Daniel Hulme, CEO of Satalia and Advisor to the UK Home Office. Of crucial importance to the success of this investigation’s data analysis before and after the commencement of interviews, was the use of an analytical pattern matching produce, which examined qualitative information. The findings identify that current entry level occupations with systematic and repetitive tasks in a fixed domain, will be automated. Placing a greater demand for analytical abilities in junior recruits as the cognitive understanding of what data represents is a weakness of Artificial Intelligence （AI） thus strengthening augmentation between employees and technology. Automated investment profilers known as robo advisors will challenge the value proposition of organisations, such as JAM, which in time will need to be onboard with the technology to remain competitive within a growing millennial market. The paper concludes that there is an evidentneed for asset management firms to design training processes that blend enhanced senior level shadowing, with programmes focused on broadening juniors’ abilities to interpret and apply AI’s generated data through a series of newly identified skills.展开更多

Industry-wide practices include the use of geophysical and similar technologies to determine depth and location, and 2D as-built plans integrated with GIS databases for information management. The feasibility of incorporating 3D BIM models of the subsurface to replace the 2D plans to improve visualization and data management is examined in this paper. Obtaining an accurate image of the underground infrastructure would help minimize excavation accidents due to equipment-utility collisions and prevent property damage. Further, the inclusion of automated data collection and sharing features realized through BIM technology can enhance operations of smart cities. The research methodology consists of a state-of-the-art review of the current underground utility management systems, combined with statistical analysis of survey responses received from utility providers and one-call centers in the U.S. Three categories of utility practices are identified based on the level of digital technology integration. It is found that a vast majority of utility firms have adopted GIS databases with 2D plans, depth and other asset information, while a smaller percentage of providers have achieved full GIS-BIM in<span style="font-family:Verdana;">tegration, incorporating a wide range of asset data.

However, due to the scattered characteristics of this work, it is difficult to fully implement the related work, resulting in the general lack of national awareness of natural resources protection and the difficulty in achieving the expected results of ecological environment restoration and management. The reform of the super-ministerial system and the policy of "integrating multiple regulations" implemented by the state have played a crucial role in promoting the protection and management of the country's natural resources. This paper will carry out an in-depth study on land and space planning and natural resource management, and put forward reasonable management strategies, in order to provide some theoretical reference for the related work.展开更多

Under the current new development trend, fixed assets management needs the organic integration of asset management and financial management, so the difficulty of fixed assets management is also increasing. At present, various institutions are paying more and more attention to the management and maintenance of fixed assets. In order to improve the efficiency of fixed assets management and save the maintenance cost, this paper mainly studies how to use Excel VBA language to realize the quick input function of newly purchased fixed assets, so as to improve the flexibility and efficiency of fixed assets management in various institutions.展开更多

So they are usually obligated by regulators to invest on reliability improvement of network. But this investment on reliability is usually from the DISCO’s viewpoint and is also irrespective of customer satisfaction level. In other words, customers are not at the same level of sensitivity to interruptions but DISCO improves the reliability of network without considering the differences in importance degree of loads and their level of reliability requirement. On the other hand DISCOs attempt to reduce their investment costs as much as possible. This paper introduces a novel approach in the field of joint switch placement that can reduce the switch cost from the perspective of asset management policies. To this end, two switch placement plannings in different types of strategies are performed to compare their results. Firstly as witch placement is performed based on reducing the total energy not supplied (ENS) of the system. Then by revising the strategy, a fuzzy switch placement is performed from the DISCO’s point of view which just considers the total ENS of load points most sensitive to interruptions known as important or critical loads. Furthermore, by meeting the related constraints, the reliability of low sensitive customers is disregarded. This is a load importance based planning which can result in switch cost reduction relative to the amount achieved in previous strategy and implies the management of risks associated with reliability and respective constraint. Fuzzy method and new switching mechanism in fuzzy environment of network are implemented to modeling and controlling the risks associated to ENS of critical loads and also the ENS of system.

文摘At present, the integration of budget management has become the core premise of financial management in administrative institutions, and the process of promoting all-round budget integration has been basically fully realized. As one of the important links in the integration of budget management, asset management has fully integrated asset management and budget management in the integration work, further deepened the correlation between capital and asset allocation stage, and consolidated budget and asset-based management from the root. This paper will explore the situation and existing problems in asset management and budget management in practical work, and look at the future trend of asset management and the key points that need attention under the premise of budget management integration.
文摘In recent years,with the vigorous development of the real estate market,the price and scale of real estate have been growing explosively year by year.At the same time,the continuous macro-control of the state and the debt of real estate enterprises are both thundering.The high turnover and leverage operation mode is challenged,and uncompleted real estate projects are constantly emerging.Uncompleted residential buildings are considered scars to developers or cities where these projects are located.If this issue can be solved,uncompleted residential building projects can be revitalized,and the parties involved will also benefit from it.Asset management companies play a key role in the revitalization of uncompleted real estate projects by injecting new vitality into these projects and obtaining relevant policy support from the local government for the pain points and difficulties in these projects,thus promoting the revitalization of uncompleted projects.In order to discuss the approach taken by local asset management companies to revitalize uncompleted real estate projects,this paper takes ZS Asset Management Company as an example.
文摘Asset management is an important part of enterprise management, but also a big dilemma faced by many state-owned enterprises, with the deepening of state-owned enterprise reform, the asset management of state-owned enterprises put forward higher requirements. With the rapid development of market economy in our country, state-owned enterprises for the development of our national economy has also played a very key role, and the asset management of state-owned enterprises can make its assets use efficiency improved. Based on this, this paper mainly discusses the strategy of strengthening the asset management of state-owned enterprises for reference to relevant staff.
文摘Based on the concept of sustainable development, the state continuously improves the efforts of ecological restoration and management. However, due to the scattered characteristics of this work, it is difficult to fully implement the related work, resulting in the general lack of national awareness of natural resources protection and the difficulty in achieving the expected results of ecological environment restoration and management. The reform of the super-ministerial system and the policy of "integrating multiple regulations" implemented by the state have played a crucial role in promoting the protection and management of the country's natural resources. This paper will carry out an in-depth study on land and space planning and natural resource management, and put forward reasonable management strategies, in order to provide some theoretical reference for the related work.

文摘Road networks are classified as critical infrastructure systems.Their loss of functionality not only hinders residential and commercial activities,but also compromises evacuation and rescue after disasters.Dealing with risks to key strategic objectives is not new to asset management,and risk management is considered one of the core elements of asset management.Risk analysis has recently focused on understanding and designing strategies for resilience,especially in the case of seismic events that present a significant hazard to highway transportation networks.Following a review of risk and resilience concepts and metrics,an innovative methodology to stochastically assess the economic resources needed to restore damaged infrastructures,one that is a relevant and complementary element within a wider resilience-based framework,is proposed.The original methodology is based on collecting and analyzing ex post reconstruction and hazard data and was calibrated on data measured during the earthquake that struck central Italy in 2016 and collected in the following recovery phase.Although further improvements are needed,the proposed approach can be used effectively by road managers to provide useful information in developing seismic retrofitting plans.
文摘With the rapid development of China's economy and society, enterprises, institutions of higher learning, scientific research institutes and other institutions need to continuously invest a large amount of economic resources to purchase new equipment adapted to the development and progress of the times to ensure the rapid development of the units. Under the current new development trend, fixed assets management needs the organic integration of asset management and financial management, so the difficulty of fixed assets management is also increasing. At present, various institutions are paying more and more attention to the management and maintenance of fixed assets. In order to improve the efficiency of fixed assets management and save the maintenance cost, this paper mainly studies how to use Excel VBA language to realize the quick input function of newly purchased fixed assets, so as to improve the flexibility and efficiency of fixed assets management in various institutions.
