What is ISO 55001:2014 AMS?
Assets come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing is for certain all organizations have assets. Assets can be a competitive advantage or can drain your organization’s resources. That’s why it is important to manage your assets effectively and ISO 55001 can do just that. ISO 55001 is especially relevant in industries that are capital intensive, have significant physical assets to manage, and have high fixed costs. This can include utilities, heavy and light manufacturing, distribution, construction, property management, and transportation. ISO 55001 was published in January 2014 and establishes specific requirements for not only implementing and maintaining an asset but also improving that asset via an Asset management system. It builds upon PAS55 which had a proven track record specifically in the utility industries. ISO 55001 aims to apply this approach across other sectors allowing all businesses to benefit from it.

ISO 55001 is an asset management system standard, the main objective of which is to help organizations manage the lifecycle of assets more effectively. By implementing ISO 55001 organizations will have better control over daily activities, achieve higher returns with their assets, and reduce the total cost of risk.
As an individual, if you wish to become an “official” ISO 55000 Assessor/Auditor – one who is part of a team that can officially accredit organisations as being compliant with the requirements of ISO 55001 – then you will need to either be employed by, or contract your services to, a Conformity Assessment Body (CAB)
Asset management refers to the management of investments on behalf of others. The process essentially has a dual mandate – appreciation of a client’s assets over time while mitigating risk. … The role of an asset manager consists of determining what investments to make, or avoid, that will grow a client’s portfolio.
