Overview

This is a book for senior executives who lead organizations with a heavy dependence on physical assets such as fixed plant, factories, facilities, mobile equipment, vehicle fleets, pipelines and other linear assets.

The key to overcoming those challenges is your active participation at the level of executive sponsor in the transformation. To do that, you benefit from an overview of the areas where problems will reside and what must be done about them. This book provides that overview and advice.
