Integrated multi-criteria hierarchical asset performance measures for transmission network service providers

" Electricity transmission assets can be defined as the networks supplying high voltage of electricity to customers where the system as a whole intended to be maintained for a longer asset life at a specified level of service by continual replacement and refurbishment of its components...Effective asset management enhances performance, reduces cost and risk within asset life cycle. Achieving this goal requires careful classification of hierarchical levels of decision-making throughout the life cycle phases of the assets. In this study, these levels are defined and used as performance enhancement tool with the application of maturity measurment principles"--Abstract.
