Rosique and Carlos Parra Márquez

Abstract The publication of the ISO 55000 family of standards on asset man-
agement is surely a very important event for many economic activity sectors,
especially for those that are very intensive in capital investments devoted to
physical assets. Although the standards set a framework for the requirements to
fulfill in order to manage assets properly, companies, and organizations in general,
need to know how to reach those requirements. What are the necessary steps to
follow and the supporting structure that needs to be built in order to develop a
proper, consistent and competitive assets management process and system? This
chapter links ISO 55000 requirements to the assets management framework pro-
moted by the authors, and at the same time, links the models presented in the
different chapters of the book, with specific elements of the standards.

1 Introduction

The ISO 55000 family of standards on asset management has just been published.
These are three documents that present the minimum requirements on good prac-
tices to establish, implement, maintain and improve the management of any type of
asset in organizations. They also offer a strategic approach to incorporate operations
and maintenance applications, and thus improve asset availability and utilization.
The benefits of asset management in organizations, with a focus on achieving value
over the asset life cycle, are solidly proven in many industries and business envi-
ronments. In addition, it demonstrates organizations’ commitment to quality, per-
formance or safety, helping to mitigate the legal, social and environmental risks
associated with accidents in industrial facilities.
The recent publication of the family of ISO 55000 Standards on Asset
Management (AM) aims to support a management oriented to obtain value of the
assets. This is the ISO 55000 Asset Management. General aspects, principles and
terminology, which provides a broad view of what AM represents; ISO 55001
Asset management. Management systems. Requirements, which specifies the
requirements for establishing an AM system (see Fig. 1); and ISO 55002 Asset
Management. Management systems. Guidelines for the implementation of ISO
55001, which provides guidance for the application of that standard. Thus, it
presents in a generic way the minimum requirements on good practices to
establish, implement, maintain and improve the management of any type of asset,
establishing a strategic approach to incorporate operations and maintenance
applications to improve the availability and use of assets. These requirements
apply to all stakeholders, allowing to measure and show the organization’s ability
to meet legal, regulatory and contractual requirements, as well as those of the
organization.
Standard ISO 55001 does not define “how” to carry out such good practices.
And this will depend on the context of the organization itself and the assets to be
managed. In addition, it will in the future be a source of development for the
different business areas and types of assets in the interpretation and application of
the requirements established by the standard. The formal recognition through the
standard of what needs to be done (elements and requirements), for the coordination
and maintenance of good practices, is the basis for organizing the processes and
achieving the goals set.
It helps organizations realize even more the value of their assets, enabling them
to demonstrate their ability to control risks, reliability of their plants, loss mitigation
and unplanned outages. In short, the purpose of this series of standards is to provide
a model for the creation and operation of an Asset Management System (AMS).
This system can be integrated (see Fig. 2) with other management systems, such as
quality, environment or safety.

2 Principles Promoted by the Standards

Among the central themes of the ISO 55000 Standards family are the concepts of
value creation and risk-based decision-making, considering four fundamental
principles. That is, alignment of the objectives of the company, from the top leaders
4 A. Crespo Márquez et al.

Fig. 2 Relationships between key terms: Integration the assets management with other systems of
the organization

of the organization to the technicians responsible for the day-to-day operation of the
assets; transparent and consistent decision-making, seeking a balance between
potentially conflicting initiatives and limited resources; risk participation in the
decision-making process; and balancing long-term asset requirements with
short-term business planning cycles.
Emphasis is placed on value creation, but with a focus on the idea and long-term
strategy since the duration of the assets can be much greater than the strategic plan
of the corporation. Better knowledge of assets helps in making operational deci-
sions and in understanding the performance of the organization in general. It also
emphasizes stakeholder engagement as well as alignment with business finance and
accounting. The standard ISO 55001: 2014 describes the requirements of the sys-
tem emphasizing “what needs to be done” and not “how to do it”, based on the
following elements: organization, context, leadership, planning, resources and
support, operation, evaluation, performance, and improvement.
It is important to consider that the application and use of this standard presents
certain challenges for its implementation in the different organizations. To a great
extent, these challenges are linked to the maturity of their systems and processes of
the organization, since a high level of integration, harmonization, and coordination
of functions between engineering, operations, maintenance, and the commercial
part of the business is required for good management. In this sense, it is necessary
to emphasize the “culture” in the use of Management Systems. This will be the
main challenge in organizations with no prior experience in these systems. Also, if
the organization has competent personnel, since even mature organizations will
On the Family of Standards UNE-ISO 55000 … 5

have to acquire competencies to evaluate the processes and the Asset Management
System. In addition, it is necessary to interpret the standard to adapt its generalist
approaches to the particularities of the business to which it applies. Finally, lead-
ership commitment is essential, requiring the involvement of top management from
the beginning of the implementation process of an Asset Management System.
As a result, the ISO 55000 family of standards offers important opportunities for
asset owners to re-examine and refine their management model. It also helps to
improve relationships with service providers and customers, governance of the
management model, regulatory frameworks, and stakeholder trust. The benefits that
the improved of asset management contribute, with an integrated approach to value
across the asset life cycle, are solidly proven in many industries and business
environments, improving the quality of life through contributing to safety, human
health and environmental protection while demonstrating the organization’s com-
mitment to quality, performance or safety and helping to mitigate the legal, social,
and environmental risks associated with accidents in industrial facilities.

3 Integration of a Maintenance Management Model

(MMM) with the Asset Management Standard ISO
55000

Although there are no simple formulas for the implementation of an integral model
of management of asset, nor fixed or immutable rules with validity and applicability
for all the assets of production, the requirements needed by the proposal of standard
ISO 55000 can be covered by the integral maintenance management model (Fig. 3)
proposed at the beginning of this report. In the MMM, composed of eight phases,
specific actions are described to follow in different steps of the process of man-
agement of maintenance that are integrated in a direct form within a process of
management of assets [4]. The MMM offers a dynamic, sequential process and in a
closed loop that tries to accurately characterize the course of actions to be carried
out to ensure the efficiency, effectiveness and continuous improvement of the
management of assets from the use and integration of techniques of engineering and
maintenance management and reliability.
In particular, in Table 1, a relationship is made between the 8 phases of the
model proposed and the general points of the standard ISO 55000, so that the
gradual implementation of the generic model progressively covering the require-
ments of the standard ISO 55000 may be looked at. According to 1, the activities to
be developed within the eight stages of the MMM can help organizations, to meet
with the 24 requirements demanded by the standard ISO 55000. The following
describes in more detail the relationship between the phases of the MMM and the
requirements of ISO 55000.

According to Table 2, out of the 24 requirements defined by the standard ISO

55000, the maintenance management model (MMM) can help us totally or partially
meet the demands of the requirements expected by this standard (the proposal of
standard PAS 55 represents the most important background of standard ISO
55000).

and facilitate their management, thanks to the transmission and processing of information at
high speeds and quantities exceeding the organizations´ own borders and strengthening the
convergence among sectors. The need for a correct implementation of the support for the
management of information systems is the basis for the development of programs to improve
reliability, maintenance and operations

with the definition of the different tasks of production for the preliminary design. Then
activities are developed such as: plan of production, layout of plant, selection of equipment,
definition of processes of manufacturing and other similar activities. Subsequently, prior to
the design phase logistics is considered. This phase involves the development of the
necessary support for the design and the different stages of production, the possible user
support, maintenance plan intended for the use of the asset and the process of divestiture of
assets (continuous improvement)

The present book connects the phases of the Maintenance Management Model with
the ISO 55000 [18], integrating new technologies, methods and concept provided
by the so-called context Industry 4.0. There are different research results of the last
5 years serving as the main basis and background for the different parts of this
book. Particularly, each part gathers the following papers, previously published.
As commented, the book is a compilation of the most relevant and recent
contributions of our research group. Each chapter corresponds to an article pub-
lished previously.

5 Conclusions

A better knowledge of its assets helps an organization to make operational decisions

and, in general terms, will improve organizational performance. In this Chapter we
have explained how an MMM can help in the process of establishing an asset
management model fulfilling the requirements of the ISO 55000 family of stan-
dards. Also, each Chapter of the book has been declared as related to, or linked to, a
certain standard requirement. Nevertheless, the reader must be aware that con-
cerning standard ISO 55000, key factors that influence an organization to achieve
its goals are the following: (i) Nature and purpose of the organization; (ii) Its
operational context; (iii) Its financial restrictions and regulatory requirements;
(iv) The needs and expectations of the organization and interested parties
(stakeholders).
