ASSET VERSUS PORTFOLIO CENTRIC INVESTMENT MODELLING & THE USE OF ANALYTICS
Add Footer Text 2
WHAT IS OPTIMISATION?Definition of optimisation:
• An act, process, or methodology of making something (as a design, system, or decision) as fully perfect, functional, or effective as possible; specifically : the mathematical procedures (as finding the maximum of a function) involved in this.
Optimisation in Asset Investment Planning:
• Use of complex mathematical algorithms to minimise Whole Life Costs of asset investments across operational interventions, capital replacements and inspections.
• The optimiser will trade costs against expected benefits (or risk reduction) to arrive at an optimal investment plan.

ASSET CENTRIC VERSUS PORTFOLIO MODELLING
Asset Centric • Considers all capital, operational and inspection interventions for each asset within
specific asset classes • Investment model trades investment at asset level or across multiple asset classes
Portfolio • Looks to optimise a set of predefined projects• Investments are described as discrete projects with benefits/costs described at project
level • Selects the optimal mix from the previously defined projects provided to it
Combined Approach • Optimiser selects the optimal mix of interventions at an asset level • Drives the definition of projects which feed into a Portfolio model for latter optimisation• Higher efficiencies & speed of Portfolio Modelling

BENEFITS/CONSTRAINTS – ASSET CENTRIC
Benefits of Asset Modelling
• Right investment intervention for the right asset at the right time • Increases buy-in from all stakeholders• High efficiencies, typically between 7 and 17% • Increases the transparency of the investment planning cycle• Challenges historic, recurring decisions• Best replicates real-world intervention options and constraints
Constraints of Asset Modelling
• Where there are large volumes of assets, models can be time consuming to run as the data is granular – cohorts or combined approach may be recommended

BENEFITS/CONSTRAINTS - PORFOLIO
Benefits of Portfolio Modelling
• Delivers more value from the investment program for a level of spend• Increases the transparency of the investment planning cycle• Maximises the value of existing and ‘siloed’ investment approaches • Ensures the highest ‘value engineering’ projects are taken forward• Increases buy-in from all stakeholders
Constraints
Have the right projects been chosen to be optimised?Have the benefits and costs been accurately reflected? • Controls need to be in place to avoid gaming

SEVERN TRENT WATER• Severn Trent Water• Water company and waste company• Regulated industry (OFWAT)• 5 year Asset Management Planning cycles
• Infrastructure Assets:• 47,000km of clean water pipes (1.3m assets)• 40,000km of sewer pipes (1.4m assets)
• Non-Infrasturture Assets:• 125 Water Treatment Works• 1,100 Sewage Treatment Works• 667 Water Pumping stations• 3,000 sewage pumping stations• 455 distribution service reservoirs• 45 Sludge treatment facilities• 259,000 mechanical, electrical and instrumentation assets in total

SEVERN TRENT WATER• Decision Support Tools (DSTs), predictive and prescriptive analytics, enable the processing of
large, complex datasets. For asset-focussed organisations, DSTs provide two benefits: • Insight and foresight for deterioration, service, performance, safety and risk • Forecasting of the impact of different investment patterns or maintenance strategies
• DST’s allow us to find the appropriate balance between proactive and reactive investment
• STW has a suite of mature models that help the business make investment decisions
• In Water Infrastructure, STW have used asset modelling since PR09.• STW use a number of other asset models, e.g. Sewer infrastructure model, non-infra models.
• Outputs from asset models are transferred to a “Portfolio Optimiser”
• Last year upgraded from WiLCO to Enterprise Decision Analytics (EDA)
