1 Asset Management - Lifecycle costing: Can you invest in the future and afford not to apply it? - Asset Management - Andre Jordaan; 3 October 2016, AMEU Conference

2 Examples: Asset Acquisition

3 We all know that it s not just prevalent in Government Private sector gets it wrong. Other countries gets it wrong.

4 Case Study: British Columbia Fast Ferries Requirement: Three customdesigned high speed passenger/vehicle ferries Late 1990s: FastCat Fiasco - ineffective asset creation and acquisition processes Goal was to improve ferry service between mainland terminal of Horseshoe Bay and the Vancouver Island terminal Built locally as part of political drive to rebuild BC shipping industry

5 Case Study: British Columbia Fast Ferries Outcome: # Budget $210m, - final cost $460m # Final delivery 3 years behind schedule # Ferries auctioned off for $19m in 2003, four years after commissioning Poor design: No passenger deck space, high fuel consumption, increased loading time due to balancing issues Political interference: contract not awarded to competent supplier Unreliability: breakdowns Lack of project management discipline: no feasibility study or risk analysis, no project review or re-evaluation

6 Asset Management principles at play # Demand Analysis # Requirement Analysis # Systems Engineering # Life cycle costing # Portfolio Management Lifecycle Costing: Opportunity to influence costs is concentrated at the planning and acquisition stages

7 Case Study: Solar vs. Diesel Power Requirement: 2 bore holes sunk for a municipality, 10km from town, which technology is most appropriate for this remote site: 1 Solar 2 Diesel R 940,000 = R 590,000 Excl. Batteries + R 350,000 Batteries R 88,000 Life expectancy: R 20 years 6 years 20 years, 10 year overhaul

10 Case Study: Solar vs. Diesel Power - Sensitivity Analysis 1 Solar 2 Diesel The diesel is but 1/10 th of the capital outlay, but costs 85% more than solar in the long term NPV (Cost over 50 years) R 2,2m R 4,0m Diff. 85% 1. Scenario: Primarily used in summer/winter: demand drops to 50% design requirement. NPV (50 years) at 50% load R 2,2m R 2,1m -5% 2. Scenario: Diesel fuel halves throughout the designed life (50 years) NPV (50 years) at 50% load R 2,2m R 2,3m 6%

11 Don t be fooled If Solar PV is so much better than fuel, is it cost effective for households? Financially: Questionable Payback period well over 10.8 years (i.e. without even taking the replacement of the batteries into account). The benefit: No electricity outages during load shedding.
