Asset Management – ISO 55000

ISO 55000 is an international standard covering the management of assets of any kind.

Three standards have been published:

  • ISO 55000:2014 Asset management – Overview, principles, and terminology
  • ISO 55001:2014 Asset management – Management Systems – Requirements
  • ISO 55002:2018 Guidelines for the application of ISO 55001

Fundamentals of asset management are stated as Value, Alignment, Leadership & Assurance:

  • The concept of “value” in asset management
  • The scope of the Asset Management System
  • The Strategic Asset Management Plan
  • Asset management decision-making
  • Risk management in the context of asset management
  • Finance in asset management
  • Scalability of ISO 55001 to organizations

The Role & Context Of The Asset Management System In Supporting The Delivery Of The Organisation’s Objectives

Asset Management

  • Asset Management is the coordinated activity of the organisation to realise the required value from its assets.
  • It is necessary to define the scope (in terms of activities and assets) of the formal management system that will be implemented to deliver the required objectives (this may require full or only partial compliance with ISO 55001)

Assets Management System

  • A fit-for-purpose management system, establishing an Asset Management Policy,  Asset Management Objectives, and the necessary processes to achieve these objectives
  • The management system should “work for” the organization, not vice versa.

So How Should This System Operate & What Key Challenges Is It Designed To Address?

Tactical/Strategic Asset Management Plan

Let’s understand the approach and critical components to successful asset management planning and its delivery

Planning & Your Framework

  • Your Values
  • Your Organisation
  • Your Customers
  • & Goals

Talking Tactics & Strategy

How Do We Start A Plan?

  • Define program objectives
  • Focus on framework development
  • Understanding continual improvement is vital to success. Ideas and changes in approaches are natural and even beneficial
  • Get the c of system data input right from the beginning.
  • Supporting a systematic and consistent approach to asset management decision-making. Take one step at a time.
  • Communication should be targeted to stakeholder requirements at every level, specific asset functions and understanding business/operational risks to the greatest extent possible.

Who Needs To Know What?

Reporting To Improve:

Reporting requirements, formats, content, and structure change throughout programs and asset life cycle. Framework development and planning stages should consider reporting requirements. This includes how reporting requirements may change as project milestones are met, or as you progress through the program.

  • As you improve systems and processes more information will become available to you and your teams
  • This information can help make risk and enterprise-based decisions in the future:
    1. Cost based maintenance
    2. Wins and opportunity’s
    3. Functional group performance
    4. Cost benefits of asset management
    5. Area compliance maturity
