Building Total Enterprise Asset Management Solutions: A Guide to Capital Needs Analysis

At a time when long-range planning was in its infancy, Doug Christensen wrote about the need to be more forward thinking and strategic in the administration of physical facilities.  From his first asset analysis in 1972 to his death in 2016, Doug devoted his life’s work to the study of facilities planning.

 

This book is a compilation of the collaboration, research findings, and best practices that Doug Christensen employed in his work. It delves into the strategic foundation of long-range facilities planning, outlines methods for organizing the effort, and touches upon the role of life-cycle planning in the overall total cost of ownership model. The goal of this book is to share these findings and to help the next generation of facilities professional benefit from his life’s work.
