An introduction to ISO 55000
“What to do” guide
20th October 2014
Overview
• Why Bother?
– What are the Benefits of ISO 55000?
• Key Components of the Code
– How it “fits” in with business processes
• What does and ISO compliant business look like?
– How do the key aspects of the Code manifest in a business
• Moving from theory to delivering benefits
• Case Studies
• “Roadmap to Readiness”
Context
• My Background:
– Utility Industry (esp. Urban Water Services) and
– Government (State and Local).
• History:
– AM in these sectors have evolved from an asset centric
practice to a “Whole of business” process for delivering
outcomes
– ISO 55000 reinforces this process
– This evolution has been supported by development of key
technical standards such as IIMM:

Key Components of the
Code
ISO 55000
• What is ISO 55000?
– International Standard for development of an Asset Management System
– This means a System of Management and NOT an IT application
• General Principles:
– a) Assets exist to provide value to the organization and its
stakeholders……..
– b) Asset management turns the organizational strategic intent into decisions
and actions on assets to realize their value…….
– c) Strong leadership and an engaged workforce are a key determinant of
value realization... (&)
– d) Asset management requires a focus on continual improvement”

What would an ISO
compliant business look
like?
ISO Compliant Organisation
• Organisational Context (Cl 4):
• What am I looking for?

Statutory obligations (what we HAVE to do),

• Where would I find it?
–
–
–
–
–
Corporate Plan or Strategic Plan
Customer Charter/Customer Contract

–
An AM Framework that highlights the businesses INTENT for AM
A governance structure which clearly allocates organisational AM responsibilities;

•
–
Planning,
Capital and Service delivery,
Operations/maintenance; and

•
•
•
Allocating resources necessary for delivering the business targeted outcomes.
Ensuring that the business has the capacity to deliver outcomes

Long term IT/IS strategy
Knowledge Management Strategy
Performance Management Framework;
Quality Management Systems and processes
• This “ENABLES” us to do it
How would ISO
compliant business
deliver benefits?
Realising Benefits
• External Drivers:
– Improved Stakeholder Confidence and Assurance:
• Integrated AM Framework that clearly defines agreed outcomes and
outlines how they will be achieved
• In the public sector ……It is highly likely that the existing state based
provisions for AM will be superseded by ISO 55000.
• Internal Drivers:
– Improved Business Performance:
• Change focus from one of process to outcomes
– i.e. are the expectations of our asset base (current and future) sustainable?;
• Assist in assessing long term financial sustainability
– i.e. optimise the investment in the asset base while also understanding the
consequences (and risk) of changing investment and resources and the impact on
service outcomes;
• Facilitate a review of how AM services are delivered
– e.g. are there benefits associated with outsourcing some of our AM functions? If so,
what functions are appropriate to outsource and why? How may out sourcing affect
our risk profile and financial goals?
Realising Benefits
• Internal Drivers (cont.):
– Improved Governance:
• Prompt a review of current AM implementation and identify
opportunities to improve the framework for leadership, management,
delegation and performance in the delivery of AM across the organization
• Assist the business better define its risk profile and identify how key
risks may be managed or mitigated.
– Systems and Processes:
• The “holy grail” of Asset Management is their ability to transform data
into knowledge. ISO 55000 provides a framework for development of
processes and information sharing to ensure reliable & sustainable AM.
• The new ISO standard provides a tool which could be
used to ensure better management of assets and
sustainable, efficient and effective service delivery
Case Studies
Transition to ISO 55000
• Case Study 1:
– Large Water Service Provider
– Seeking consolidation of is AM efforts around ISO 55000
– Strong “Functional” AM Capability but fractured
strategic/corporate AM framework
• Goals:
– Develop a Strategic AM Plan that moves the business toward
IS0 55000
– In particular, moving to an “Outcomes” oriented process (not an
“Asset centric” activity)
Transition to ISO 55000
• Process:
– Corporate Transition guided by its Strategic Asset
Management Plan (SAMP)
• Typically a SAMP operationalizes corporate strategy;
• In this instance, the SAMP operationalizes the AMS itself
– Included assessment of key technical standards (e.g. IIMM
and PAS 55)
– Engaged stakeholders (internal and external) in the process
– The process highlighted current practice, gaps and solutions.
• Outcomes:
– A SAMP which operationalizes the AMS, for which staff have
“buy in” and facilitates the businesses moves from an “asset
centric” business to more “Outcomes” oriented processes
Transition to ISO 55000
• Case Study 2:
– Large Regional Council
– V Advanced in their AM understanding and processes
– Looking at benefits of ISO 55000
• Goals:
– Considering a 2 step process:
• Compliance with ISO 55000 as a step before
• Accreditation to ISO 55000.
Transition to ISO 55000
• Process:
– Comprehensive review of Corporate AM Framework:
•
•
•
•
AM Policy, Objectives, Leadership
Service Strategy: Service Design, Planning and Delivery
AM Strategy; AM Planning
AM Performance Framework
– Developed a Roadmap for next steps:
• AM Business Process Mapping
• AM Business Plan
– Propose:
• ISO 55000 Competence Review as a “guide” for Accreditation
• Outcomes:
– ISO 5500 has reinvigorated AM in the organisation
– Generated a great deal of interest and improvement opportunities;
– Highlighted strengths and opportunities within the business
