OEE or TEEP, Activity based operational cost, production time per unit product, waste per unit product or utilities per unit product and etc. are often the indicators of operational level of one enterprise or plant.

−Systematic and coordinated activities and practices through which an organization optimally manages its assets, and their associated  performance, risks and expenditures over their lifecycle for the purpose of achieving its organizational strategic plan.

Actually PASS recommended 127 best practices, 40 key behaviour index and 9 key performance index to guide the enterprise to pass the audit of ISO 55001. Generally, lowest score being 3 for every module is the lowest requiremenr of ISO 55001. 5S and DMS are still the foundation. In 5S, visualization is one very important component. DMS is the core to review the trends of KPIs and KBIs and make the relative measures. 5S is the route to assure the consistent improvement in which maintenance done by operator is the advanced phase. Maintenance based on WiFi or cloud is the by product of industry 4.0. PDCA is still the basic route in which Organizational context analyzes the policy and strategy of one enterprise. Leadership module explains how to use the relative resources effectively. Support module decides the combination of skills, tools and platforms etc. Plan(P) prioritises the asset provision, criticality and care analysis etc. Performance(C) evaluates how to appraise the asset management. Operation (D) is the implementation of plan(P). Improvement (A) makes relative measures to improve plan(P), operation (D) and performance (C)module. Kaizen but not innovation is the core.

Asset management is based on a set of fundamentals.

a) Value: Assets exist to provide value to the organization and its stakeholders.

Asset management does not focus on the asset itself, but on the value that the asset can provide to the organization. The value (which can be tangible or intangible, financial or non-financial) will be determined by the organization and its stakeholders, in accordance with the organizational objectives.

This includes:

1) a clear statement of how the asset management objectives align with the organizational objectives;

2) the use of a life cycle management approach to realize value from assets;

3) the establishment of decision-making processes that reflect stakeholder need and define value.

b) Alignment: Asset management translates the organizational objectives into technical and financial

decisions, plans and activities.

Asset management decisions (technical, financial and operational) collectively enable the achievement of the organizational objectives.

This includes:

1) the implementation of risk-based, information-driven, planning and decision-making processes and activities that transform organizational objectives into asset management plans ;

2) the integration of the asset management processes with the functional management processes of the organization, such as finance, human resources, information systems, logistics and operations;

3) the specification, design and implementation of a supporting asset management system.

c) Leadership: Leadership and workplace culture are determinants of realization of value.

Leadership and commitment from all managerial levels is essential for successfully establishing, operating and improving asset management within the organization.

This includes:

1) clearly defined roles, responsibilities and authorities;

2) ensuring that employees are aware, competent, and empowered;

3) consultation with employees and stakeholders regarding asset management.

d) Assurance: Asset management gives assurance that assets will fulfil their required purpose.

The need for assurance arises from the need to effectively govern an organization. Assurance applies to assets, asset management and the asset management system.

This includes:

1) developing and implementing processes that connect the required purposes and performance of the assets to the organizational objectives;

2) implementing processes for assurance of capability across all life cycle stages;

3) implementing processes for monitoring and continual improvement;

4) providing the necessary resources and competent personnel for demonstration of assurance,

by undertaking asset management activities and operating the asset management system.
