Abstract
Decisions on strategic asset management are crucial from
the perspective of improving the sustainability of
companies. The new ISO 55000 series of AM standards is a
means of improving the AM strategies and practices of
companies, and thus their sustainability performance. For
this study, three Finnish companies were interviewed
about their asset management, especially related to their
asset information management practices and
sustainability. The results are compared with the asset
information management guidelines given in the AM
standard. The goal of the research is to find best
practices and areas of improvement in asset information
management, and thus to improve asset management related
decision-making and the sustainability of companies.
All the interviewed companies gather and analyse data
from their machinery and infrastructure and the analysis
and utilization of asset related information is
considered important. The economic perspective of AM is
seen crucial in decision-making, but also sustainability
reporting, maintenance and operating information, value
of assets and fault data are utilized. The asset
information is scattered in different systems and behind
different organisational barriers. Companies, however,
strive towards unified asset information management
systems.
