DPMs often wear multiple hats within their departments and each hat includes a competing priority or interest. CU employs a decentralized property management system and the DPM position is the frontline administrator of the system. Knowing more about the DPM role, policies, and why procedures need to be done a certain way can help you plan your work. UCB has over a billion dollars in capital assets, and approximately half of that is administered by DPMs. That is a huge responsibility to ensure equipment is purchased, maintained, and disposed of properly.
Learn from other departments and share your best practices as well; e.g. taking pictures of equipment as it is tagged helps identify what you are looking for when taking inventory, using a barcode scanner to help with inventory, understanding the disposal process.
Certification is a commitment to develop a cadre of informed and invested professionals who understand the importance of frontline administration of approximately $500 million dollars of capital assets.
