HIMATM Overview

An Effective New Way to Understand and Manage Your Assets and Infrastructures

With aging populations and increasingly tight budgets, organizations need planning tools to deal with the critical issue of older infrastructures. At Harfan, we can help. Our sophisticated tools help extend asset service life, reduce operating costs, and improve services to the public.

What is HIMA?

The Harfan Infrastructure Management Approach (HIMATM) combines a five-step methodology with an Integrated Decision Support System (IDSSTM) that enhances decision making and provides for asset management through the systematic planning, control, expansion, and decommissioning of capital (infrastructure) assets. It integrates policy (strategic-level) management, system/network (mid-level) management, and operations management into one focused approach with high performance technology. In short, HIMATM focuses on the best possible scenarios to improve decision making at the lowest cost.



 

Sustainability for Your Capital Development

Clearly, society benefits from more efficient asset management. Asset managers have a responsibility to ensure the greatest possible degree of public safety. This demands minimum standard criteria for asset sustainability which is where Harfan comes in. We can help you…

  • Know the key features of your physical assets—what, when, where, and how much?

  • Understand optimum expected service levels and how these levels can be adjusted to keep pace with changes in your organization

  • Know the system thoroughly enough to be able to identify the critical steps to achieving the sustainable performance you desire

  • Acquire and update the information you need to choose the right renewal strategy and make the most informed decisions

  • Develop financial plan and budget scenarios to attain economic sustainability and the desired levels of service

  • Identify the consequences of insufficient funding on the overall condition, level of service, probability of failure, and exposure to financial crisis of your assets

  • Assess priorities in order to base decisions on critical needs and ease pressure on the renewal program

  • Enable managers to adjust risk appreciation according to the organization’s risk tolerance

The HIMATM makes asset management easier and your organization more integrated and cost-effective in its decision making.
