Jennifer,
You're off to a good start as you have the important subjects covered. I've worked on AMPs for different utilities over the past several years, and each had a slightly different take on how to write AMPs because they have different goals in mind. I recommend considering who the audience of the AMPs will be (e.g. top leadership, external stakeholders, asset managers) and tailoring your format to be the most impactful for them.
Also, are you writing the AMPs as stand-alone plans, or as the details that feed into a Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP)? Consider what information is most appropriate at the business unit or company-level (SAMP) and what is asset class-specific (AMP).
I've found this template for an AMP to work for most asset classes:
- Overview/Executive Summary
- Background and Scope
- Levels of Service
- Current
- Future
- Asset Lifecycle Management
- Risk Management
- Operations Plan
- Maintenance Plan
- Capital Plan
- Disposal Plan
- Financial Summary
- Continual Improvement
- Supplemental Information
I hope I've provided some good info for you to think about. Writing effective AMPs takes a significant amount of effort, but they're one of the most important pieces of a successful asset management program.

Subject: Asset Management Plans (AMPs)
I'm going to write Asset Management Plans (AMP's) for our major equipment types, (pumps, motors, VFD's, generators, and other drinking water treatment equipment). Does anyone have a template they would be willing to share? From the research I've done so far it should include the following sections. Looking for something simple and not finding a good simple template out there on the internet. Thanks everyone!

- Levels of Service (LOS)
