SAM+: Measuring the journey to excellence in Asset Management

For every organization the starting point on the journey to Asset Management is an individual one. Looking at the list of 39 subjects that have been defined as the scope of Asset Management by the Global Forum on Maintenance and Asset Management (GFMAM) it becomes clear, that excellence in Asset Management can only be achieved, when all activities over the assets life cycle are aligned with the organizational objectives. Considering the huge amount of “puzzle pieces” that need to fit together an assessment of where the organisation is already doing well and where there is still potential for improvement becomes valuable. Since the Institute of Asset Management (IAM) first introduced the PAS 55 Assessment Methodology (PAM) in 2008 countless organizations world-wide have relied on this tool to determine their very own starting point and track every part of their journey towards PAS 55.
