ISO 55000

Achieve compliance through implementation

ISO 55000 Implementation Overview

ISO 55000 Implementation in today’s industrial environment, for any organisation, has to operate efficiently to achieve sustainability. To achieve this, it is imperative to manage assets efficiently and utilise the correct processes and procedures to ensure this requirement is achieved.

The benefits of ISO 55000 Implementation

  1. Improved chance of winning contracts

    Having ISO 55000 certification can go a long way to helping a business to secure partnerships with both the public and private sectors. With public sector tenders, certification to ISO 55000 is a strong signal that a business is well-run and credible, removing the need for extensive due diligence. Similarly, many private sector organisations may make it a requirement for their suppliers to be certified to ISO 55000. It signifies that asset management is taken seriously.

  2. Consistent prioritised and auditable risk management

    Risk management is the identification, assessment, and prioritisation of risks provides better understanding and usage of data and information to allow informed and consistent decisions. In ideal risk management, a prioritisation process is followed whereby the risks with the greatest loss (or impact) and the greatest probability of occurring are handled first and risks with lower probability of occurrence and lower loss are handled in descending order.

  3. Reduced product/service problems

    ISO 55000 certified businesses are better prepared to deal with the unexpected. For instance, if a product or service is not up to scratch, there will be processes in place that help to ensure that the problem is dealt with efficiently and does not recur.

  4. Better management

    Appropriate analysis and reporting is a key factor in running a business well. The ISO 55000 standard helps businesses to get this right.

  5. Increased consistency in business practices

    Implementing the practices required by the standard will offer the type of consistency that benefits everyone, including customers. It ensures that processes within a business are common (instead of departmental silos) and understood which helps employees be clearer on the tasks involved. No business wants unnecessary paperwork and yet many are burdened by precisely that. The discipline inherent in the ISO 55000 standard means that business processes should be streamlined. Regular reviews mean that processes should not go to seed.

  6. Enhanced employee satisfaction and job security

    Staff enjoy greater job satisfaction and feel more secure about their jobs in a business where processes are well-defined and clearly managed. Greater engagement of the workforce, including leadership, communications and cross-disciplinary teamwork.

  7. Lower costs

    Achieving and maintaining certification to ISO 55000 may lead to lower insurance premiums. This is because insurers recognise that these businesses have appropriate processes and controls that reduce risks.

  8. Continuous improvement

    A good asset management system provides a solid foundation for improvements to be made year on year.

  9. Improved planning

    Especially capital expenditure

  10. Overall business improvement

    The cumulative effect of the nine individual benefits outlined above is an overall business improvement and consequently profit.
