An ISO 55000 asset management operating model is a framework of organizational, business process and data standards that an organization establishes in order to effectively and efficiently manage its assets.
Asset management is a complex system for delivering value, it’s not just about Maintenance! Asset management is a team sport with many participants. A detailed operating model breaks this system into functions, showing what each player is responsible for and how each participant works with the other to minimize costs and maximize asset availability.
A sufficient operating model defines the who, what, when, where, why and how behind the organization’s people, practices and data. It brings clarity to the organization’s asset management practices. For example, download this practice on the building of a weekly maintenance schedule. There’s no EAM technology here, it’s all about the core practice, business rules and who is executing it.
The establishment and improvement of an asset management operating model — is exactly what industry standards recommend for increasing profit and reducing risk in asset-intensive organizations. In fact, the two most prominent international standards for asset management—ISO 55000 and PAS 55—both emphasize the importance of establishing an asset management operating model!
An asset management operating model is EAM software indifferent. It does not care what software system is in use. An operating model can be implemented with the help of software, but it is not dependent on it. As a matter of fact, it is sometimes better to leave software out of it, at least initially, until the practices are adopted. An operating model can stand on its own.
