Coastal Hotels and Resorts: Infrastructure Asset Management System Model
For the past few decades, many attempts have been made in order to develop infrastructure asset management models which simulate and optimize asset elements’ condition and maintenance plan. Organizations owning/operating hotels and resorts are of great need of asset management models to develop plans that efficiently manage their valuable asset to keep it in good conditions and achieve customer satisfaction. In addition, these plans should be within a certain budget and can accurately predict future deterioration/conditions of the different elements in the hotel/resort to keep on providing the required services. Several studies show that coastal structures have the highest deterioration rates due to harsh environmental exposure. In this research, an attempt has been made to develop an infrastructure asset management model for the Coastal Hotels and Resorts that can improve resource management and the overall condition of the asset. This model was built considering different factors that might affect the user cost or the required condition of the asset such as: star rating, occupancy. Elements’ qualities and types are used as input factors that predict the deterioration behavior of elements based on data acquired form literature and data collected from the field in form of surveys and inspection histories. The deterioration behaviors for the elements were determined by using different approaches; some were estimated using deterministic prediction models, while others were predicted using Markov chain or linear method. The model was applied on a case study and run for two scenarios: the first scenario was to minimize the total cost for the following 24 months while achieving a minimum overall condition; and the second was to maximize the overall condition with constrained budget. Finally, a life cycle cost analysis was conducted for the asset over a 10-year period to investigate the impact of the different material types and quality used in construction on the total life cycle cost.
