Lazo, A G; Çidik, M S; Addyman, S and Rillie, I (2024) Perspectives on project management and asset management integration: A systematic review. In: Thomson, C (ed.) Proceedings of 40th Annual ARCOM Conference, 2-4 September 2024, London South Bank University, UK.
Abstract
Infrastructure development often treats project management (planning, design, and construction phases) and asset management (operation and maintenance phases) as separate silos, resulting in significant integration gaps. This systematic literature review explores how existing research connects these domains to promote lifecycle integration. Findings reveal that cost and risk management are essential for forecasting and decision-making, but their effectiveness is enhanced when combined with digital tools and collaborative procurement strategies. Additionally, stakeholder collaboration and effective information management are critical for overcoming organisational silos and ensuring seamless integration. This research reveals that integrated lifecycle management can reduce inefficiencies, enhance decision-making, and improve the long-term sustainability of infrastructure projects. By synthesising diverse insights, the study highlights the potential synergies between different lifecycle phases, emphasising better integration between project and asset management. These findings provide strategies for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers, helping to ensure long-term infrastructure project success and sustainability.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
