Line-of-Sight Newsletter 24 September 2024

The attention on the 2024 revised ISO asset management documents allows us to proudly focus on the globally unique ALN A55K Professional Certification, which attests to an individuals’ ability to comprehend the ISO 55000, 55001, and 55002 standards. Organizations interested in starting, or continuing, their asset management journey are well served by a team that understands the fundamentals, the tools, and the steps to dramatically improve mission outcomes as outlined in the thorough ISO asset management documents. The ALN Certification exam can be prepared for with training from ALN Organizational Member, Andrew James Advisory Group, whose President, Lindsay Ziegler, will join us this week on ALN Th@3 pm ET. See this highlight comment about the training from Lori Gray, Lansing Board of Water & Light, Quality Assurance/Business Process /Lead Auditor 55001.

Anto Boudiardjo, President, PADI.io, was on a Digital Twin Consortium committee that recommended a System-of-Systems White Paper as a model for value creation three years ago. The Industry Internet of Things Consortium joined in, and the result that was published last week is a thorough exploration of how to operate successfully in an increasingly complex world. Since Asset Management is a System-of-Systems endeavor, there is much to be gleaned from the 6-chapter, 54-page document available at this link. The report is not a quick read because you will want to stop and consider many of the concepts presented. But is highly beneficial to those wanting to successfully approach and navigate the application of asset management to their organization.

Dive Deeper into SaS

Mr. Boudiardjo also recommends people review a much older paper on System-of-Systems thinking published by IBM in 2010. The paper points out that the world itself operates as a System-of-Systems and because humans do not run it as such, we lose $4 trillion in value every year from unoptimized operation. Aptly titled “The World’s $4 trillion Challenge,” the paper provides a global perspective that can easily be adopted at the organizational level, especially if you are training a team to take on Asset Management initiatives.
