Assessments, Audits & Certification

Making the best use of an organization’s unique mix of assets, in a changing environment, with conflicting stakeholder expectations, ‘initiative overload’, management turnover and a diverse workforce is a massive challenge. These problems are compounded by ‘temporary enthusiasms’ and a confusing range of messages, ‘best practices’ and perceptions of importance or criticality.

Most organizations have tried various forms of self-assessment, external audit, benchmarking or studies to identify gaps with respect to ‘world-class’ or ‘best practice’. Such exercises often result in long lists of recommendations with little value-for-money justification, prioritization or commitment to implementation. The studies focus on the gaps, shortfalls and differences, without testing the potential solutions.

Emerging Structure and Standards

Building on the worldwide success of the British Standard Institution’s PAS 55 specification (for the optimal management of physical assets), the ISO 55000 family of International Standards was published in 2014. Woodhouse has been at the very heart of developing these standards and provides an unrivalled experience of their usage for maturity assessment and improvement programmes. Our assessment services enable you to identify existing strengths, as well as any gaps against ISO 55001 requirements or potential transformation areas. It uses the full rigour of a structured and disciplined auditing protocol, developed over 20 years and integrated with the Institute of Asset Management (IAM) maturity scale. It is a highly interactive process, revealing not only the current status but also the scope and business value of potential improvements.

A Woodhouse assessment provides unique insight into the priorities, opportunities, and optimal route to improving the management system for asset management and the sustained delivery of better performance.
