ISO 55001:2024 Asset Management Systems
ISO 55001:2024 Asset Management SYSTEMS
The ISO 55001:2024 Asset Management System requirements standard enables organisations to categorise and manage their assets effectively throughout the entire supply chain process. This updated standard emphasises comprehensive asset management aligned with financial appreciation and depreciation, facilitated by tools such as serial numbers, location tracking, tracing, and clear assignment of responsibilities within an organisation.
The standard helps an organisation determine its net value and reducing insurance premiums through effective policies supported by an effective inventory system.
What is ISO 55001:2014?
ISO 55001:2024 is an international standard that provides organisations with a framework to effectively manage the entire lifecycle of their assets. By implementing this standard, organisations can enhance resource efficiency, optimise asset utilisation, and ultimately deliver greater value throughout their operations. The 2024 revision introduces updated requirements and best practices to support strategic asset management aligned with today’s business and environmental challenges.
ISO 55001:2024 supports the handling of risks and processes, leading to improved organisational performance and better alignment of objectives with the management system.
Below is a brief description of the PDCA cycle:
Plan – Determine and assess Asset risks, Asset opportunities and other risks and other opportunities, establish Asset objectives and processes necessary to deliver results in accordance with the organisation’s Asset policy.
Do – Implement the (Asset) controls and processes as planned.
Check – Monitor and measure activities and processes with regard to the Asset policy and Asset objectives and report the results.
Act – Take actions to continually improve the Asset performance to achieve the intended outcomes.
Risk-based thinking enables an organisation to identify factors that could have a negative impact on the Asset Management System. An organisation is required to analyse and prioritise the risks, opportunities and asset impacts based on what they think is acceptable and what is unacceptable to the organisations risk appetite. Preventive controls need to be in place to minimise any potential nonconformances and their recurrence.
