BSI PAS 55:2008 is the international reference benchmark for the optimal management of physical assets, providing the definition of good practice in the whole-life management of assets. It is applicable to any organization where physical assets are a key or a critical factor in achieving its business goals.
Being able to demonstrate that the requirements specified in PAS55 are met provides tangible evidence of systematic, cross-disciplinary and optimized approach to asset management that correctly blends responses to short term requirements with sustainable delivery of long term goals. This, in turn, provides assurance to customers, owners, employees, regulators and other stakeholders that the business is in good hands.
Many organizations have found that carrying out a ‘gap analysis’ against the requirements set out in PAS55 has enabled them to identify improvement opportunities and build them into a prioritized improvement plan. This leads to real improvement in the bottom line – often in today’s world this means enabling the achievement of business deliverables more efficiently and effectively with constrained resources.
