Abstract
Data Quality (DQ) is seen as critical to effective business decision-making. However, maintaining DQ is often acknowledged as problematic. Asset data is the key enabler in gaining control of assets. The quality asset data provides the foundation for effective asset management (AM). Researches have indicated that achieving AM DQ is the key challenge engineering organisations face today. As part of the AM DQ research, a multiple case study was conducted to investigate DQ stakeholders’ perceptions on factors affecting DQ. This paper presents an AM DQ framework developed based on the findings of the current DQ state in AM organisations in Australia.
