When you need it
Use when ageing, unreliable, constrained or obsolete assets compete for renewal funding. Review as condition evidence, service needs, lead times or planned shutdown opportunities change the preferred timing.

What it helps you decide
The plan links renewal proposals to service need and viable alternatives. It prevents age alone from driving replacement and makes funding, shared enabling work and the consequences of deferral explicit.
How to complete it
- Describe Asset / need using Evidence references, distinguishing condition, capacity and obsolescence concerns. Avoid treating accounting age or depreciation as proof of physical failure.
- Compare each Option on equivalent service requirements. Record Service consequence and Cost basis, including maintenance, refurbishment, replacement or retirement where technically relevant.
- Set Timing dependency, Funding status and Review priority. Reconcile linked assets, shutdown opportunities and shared costs, then explain residual exposure if the preferred renewal is deferred.
Who prepares and reviews it
The asset manager prepares it with engineering, operations, maintenance and cost contributors. Technical reviewers challenge options and assumptions; the owner or investment authority decides funding and priority within the actual portfolio process.
A mistake to avoid
Automatically replacing the oldest assets can divert funds from newer equipment with greater service consequences or unsupported recovery arrangements when failure occurs.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: an older switchboard has limited spare-part support but acceptable observed condition. The plan compares continued support measures with staged replacement and identifies an upcoming facility outage. The owner decides whether the evidence justifies funding that window or requires further specialist assessment.
