RCM-R® goes beyond what RCM alone can do. The basic successful method as defined in SAE JA-1011 remains intact. RCM-R® enhances that method, linking it to international standards for risk management and adding a degree of technical rigor rarely seen outside of the military, nuclear and aircraft industries. It adds a great deal of emphasis on what it takes to implement the method successfully – not only as a project (as has so often been done with other RCM methods), but as a sustainable program, and on leveraging the analysis results to maximize value generation and align closely with the intentions and precepts of the new international standard for Asset Management, ISO 55001.

Capital Asset Management™

In a recent post on LinkedIn I remarked that Capital Asset Management™ is the art and science of making sure there are no bad surprises. Many people seem to “like” that notion but it also gives rise to questions. It is not intended to become just another buzzword, so let me explain more fully – something I love to do as an author!

Cost and value are not the same thing at all. Cost is what you pay. Value is what something is worth. Read more “Capital Asset Management™” →

ISO 55000 Certification

by James Reyes-Picknell

With the advent of ISO 55000, 55001 and 55002 there will naturally be a desire for some companies to get certified. In fact in the UK, the first certification by the British Standards Institute has already taken place and less than a month after the standards were officially released! If your organization was already PAS 55 certified, it should be a small leap to ISO certification – after all, it was based on PAS 55 and if anything, it appears to be a bit less onerous as well as better suited to broader application.

Certification against ISO 55001 applies only to the management system for a facility, installation, company or other portfolio of assets. It DOES NOT apply to people, but people can be certified as Asset Managers. Read more “ISO 55000 Certification” →
