ISO 55000 Asset Management System Framework
How do you keep maintenance costs down and asset performance up? How do you stop reacting and start planning? How do you replace chaos with structure?
It starts with a framework. You need an outline of the environment you want to create—an outline you can follow when implementing your organization’s new, systematic approach to asset management.
How Does Your Asset Management Operation Measure Up?
Getting aligned to ISO 55000 is proven to create value. A gap analysis is your first step to realizing it. An ISO 55000 Gap Analysis from SwainSmith will measure your asset management against ISO 55000, find opportunities for creating value, and give you a clear path to improvement.

Our Value Proposition
WE START WITH VALUE
We start every client relationship by building a value model for EAM. This helps you identify the hard dollar savings and justify your asset management initiative. We’ll help you answer the key questions:
- What are the potential savings?
- Where are the savings coming from?
- When should we expect to see them?
- What must we do to realize them?
- What resources will be required?
THEN PARTNER WITH YOU
Once you have a value model, we partner with you to realize that value. We bring together the latest and greatest EAM technology with tried and verified practices—and everything we do targets specific objectives for value creation. You want to cut MRO costs by 15% over the next 12 months? Sure thing. We’ll use targeted initiatives, like boosting MRO inventory accuracy to reduce materials spend, to make it happen.
TO DELIVER YOUR ROI.
Delivering your payback is our focus. For us, ROI means reducing costs while improving reliability and compliance. It means putting rich and actionable information at your fingertips so you can make smart decisions about your assets. It means giving you the best of both worlds: award-winning EAM software and industry accepted best practices. Interested? Let’s talk about how you can get your ROI from EAM.
