Planned from week one
The manuals and asset data were on the parts list from the start, collected as each escalator, lift and fan was ordered and installed.

Their numbers
Josh's model uses the client's own numbering from the first escalator. Five months before handover, a test load: three lines fail, with time to fix them.
HandoverHandover: Week 49…
Four minutes
The import on handover day takes four minutes. Every asset, the client's numbers, manuals checked against what's installed.
The last fortnightBrochures, our numbers, a weekend of pizza and 300 failed lines.
From week oneTheir numbers from the first escalator, tested early, four minutes on the day.
Now there is: The data the owner runs on (asset information), in the client's numbers and tested. Manuals checked against what's installed.
What's going on here
The owner will run the centre for decades on what it's handed. Collecting the manuals and data as each thing is bought and installed, in the owner's own numbering, and testing the load early, means handover is an import, not a weekend.
In the town See it in the town: whose numbers will the escalators answer to for thirty years?
The data the owner runs on is the information that leaves the Site Office and moves into Client Town for good. It was asked for in the order back in the tender pack: the client's own numbering, the manuals, the facts about every escalator and fire door. Collected as each one is ordered and installed, and listed on the parts list from week one, it arrives in the client's numbers and gets a test load months ahead. Left to the last fortnight, it arrives as brochures and somebody else's numbers, and the import fails at the door.
Fix it Wrong numbers? Switch to theirs today.
- Ask the client for its asset numbering rules, in writing.
- Renumber the model now, while there are fewer assets to fix.
- Book a test load into the client's system this month.
A note for the information manager: Get the client's asset numbering into the promise and the model template on day one, because every week you use your own numbers is another weekend of pizza at the end.
