1) Concept

The ISO 55000 family of standards is the first series of management system standards specifically for asset management issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The objects of management include physical assets and intangible assets. Physical assets usually refer to the equipment, inventory and real estate owned by an organization. Intangible assets such as leasehold rights, trademarks, data assets, usage rights, licenses, intellectual property rights, reputation or agreements.

The asset management system aims to maximize the value of the enterprise's assets. Based on the analysis of the internal and external environment of the enterprise, it determines the enterprise's policy and strategic asset management plan. On the basis of risk identification, it sets asset management goals, balances the risks, costs, and performance throughout the asset life cycle to make asset management decisions, and formulates asset management plans, providing resources to implement the asset management plans. And inspect the implementation of the asset management plan and the completion of the goals. Check the compliance and effectiveness of the system through internal audits and management reviews. Revise the policy and strategic asset management plan based on changes in internal and external circumstances, and start a new cycle. Asset management is very crucial for some asset-intensive industries. It is directly related to the continuity of production and services, the quality of products and services, costs, personnel safety and environmental impact, and even determines the survival of an enterprise. In most cases, asset management in enterprise management is in an auxiliary and passive position, becoming the defendant in management meetings. This situation has long troubled many asset managers in enterprises and has become a painful and helpless situation. The reason for this is that the concepts and management methods of asset management in most enterprises are still quite backward. Organizations can achieve the goal of systematically enhancing their asset management level in a short period of time by implementing the ISO 55001 standard and systematically adopting the latest advanced international asset management concepts and methods.
