ISO 55001 will help you manage your assets efficiently. ISO 55001 can be especially useful in capital-intensive industries with large fixed costs, high physical assets to maintain, and high fixed costs. This includes distribution, heavy and lightweight manufacturing, construction management, property management, transportation, and utilities.
