| Abstract: | The focus of this research is the implementation of Rijkswaterstaat’s (RWS) focus point Asset Management 2.0 (AM 2.0) in the established process of permitting, supervision, and enforcement (VTH). This is a condensed version of the full thesis in Dutch, included as an attachment. The current process presents opportunities for optimization to better align with the requirements for operational management and to enhance information exchange and accountability. This is concerning from an asset management standpoint because of the complexity and intensity of using infrastructure. The research was conducted using the Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM). Data was collected through interviews with VTH-employees and AM and by analyzing existing documents and procedures. Throughout the research, the integration points were analyzed, discussed with stakeholders, and optimized. The aim of this research is to develop a design that uses five key integration points to optimize the already established process. These integration points include the provision of internal advice by the asset manager(s) (AM), the integration of permit data into a central GIS environment (1GIS), the verification of executed decisions (physical assets), and the transfer of (partial) accountability to the AM. By adapting these process steps, permit data will become accessible to stakeholders outside of PB, ownership will be clearly established, and RWS will work towards meeting the requirements of the BGT. The results show that adding these integration points can improve the quality of the process, monitoring, and sustainability of activities within RWS. This will contribute to achieving the organization's strategic objectives and fulfilling its social responsibilities. Although this research provides a solid foundation for process improvement, further steps are needed, such as detailing process steps and task descriptions and consulting with stakeholders to ensure practical implementation. This report is a first step in making AM 2.0 more efficiently integrated into the VTH process of RWS. |
