Abstract

Asset management, in line with ISO55000 standards, encompasses any item, entity, or thing with actual or potential value to an organization and its communities. Effective asset management contributes to the retention and realization of value throughout an asset’s lifecycle by enhancing reliability, availability, maintainability, safety, and security. This paper explores how asset management supports businesses in reducing costs, mitigating risks, and enhancing performance through informed decision-making.
