ISO 55000:2014
Asset Management Systems
Description:
ISO 55000:2014 is an internationally recognized standard that provides a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving an Asset Management System (AMS). This standard is designed to help organizations manage their assets effectively, ensuring they deliver value through a balance of cost, risk, and performance. Applicable to all types of assets and all types of organizations, ISO 55000 helps in understanding and managing the value derived from assets over their lifecycle.
ISO 55000:2014 involves identifying the asset management context, policy, and objectives, and ensuring alignment with organizational strategy. It includes developing a structured and systematic approach to asset management, incorporating risk management, lifecycle planning, performance evaluation, and continual improvement. Key components of an AMS typically include asset management policy, strategic asset management plan, asset information, risk management processes, and performance evaluation. By implementing an AMS, organizations can optimize asset performance, improve decision-making, and achieve sustainable outcomes.
