I remember a practice question about using feedback loops for asset management. Maybe that’s one way to implement continuous improvement?

I think one way is through regular performance reviews of assets, but I’m not entirely sure how that ties into continuous improvement.

I feel pretty confident about this one. Continuous improvement is all about identifying problems and making incremental changes, so I'll highlight a couple ways my local municipality could use that for managing public infrastructure.

This question is a bit tricky, but I'm going to try to draw on my internship experience at a manufacturing plant. They used continuous improvement techniques, so I'll see if I can adapt that to an asset management context.

Okay, I think I've got a plan. I'll use the example of my university's facilities department and discuss how they could apply continuous improvement to maintaining campus buildings and equipment.

Hmm, I'm not sure I fully understand what "whole life asset management" means. I'll need to review that concept before I can give a good answer.

This seems like a straightforward question, but I'll need to think carefully about a specific organization and how they could use continuous improvement.
