Asset Management Maturity Assessment
Our Asset Management Improvement Planning (AMIP) assessment gives you a detailed understanding of your AM maturity. It is an excellent indicator of priorities, indicating where your organisation needs to invest to ensure that your AM capabilities, performance and resources are aligned and able to meet your consumers’ needs.
Pragma’s AMIP framework provides a structured environment in which we help you define your ideal AM state, assess your current state and identify the gaps between the two. The assessment results inform your strategic asset management plan (SAMP) where we help you set priorities and targets to achieve your goal.
AMIP’s real power lies in its links. Each of the 130 best practices covered by the assessments is also linked to one of the ISO 55001 clauses, as well as to one of GFMAM’s 39 Subjects. The result is that the AMIP assessment can also be used to produce a five level maturity profile either for the ISO 55001 framework or for the 39 Subjects. You might not need ISO certification, but it is always good to know where you can improve and have the opportunity to choose which improvements are suitable and possible within your unique business context.

- You’ll get an analytical, independent and objective analysis of the current state of your organisation’s AM.

- You’re trying your best to do proper asset management but you’re not getting the expected results.

How does it work?
Assess
The assessment involves an evaluation of requested material, an on-site tour and interviews with role players and the verification of the information provided during interviews. Our engineers use our own proprietary software tool, Assessor, to perform and record the assessment scoring. Unlike one-dimensional assessments, Assessor measures an organisation’s asset management maturity using two quadrants, namely the Best Practice Maturity Level and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). All role players partake in the consensus mapping (best practices and KPI verification points) and scoring.
Feedback report
We prepare a thorough report based on information gathered during the assessment phase and give feedback on the gaps between your current state and your ideal AM state. The report includes benchmark comparisons with industry or organisational peers.
