AMS Implementation Principles: Mission Alignment

Asset Management System Implementation Principles Miniseries

This AMP Newsletter highlights how the Mission Alignment Principle supports implementation of an ISO 55000/1 conforming Asset Management System (AMS) and its enabling Asset Management (AM) Framework.  The AM Framework, shown below, establishes a decision-making logic that coordinates different Management Activity Groups (MAGs) to operationalize an organization’s AMS.  The purpose of the AM Framework is to define value and apply this definition to drive organizational performance and value realization.

Asset Management Framework

The Mission Alignment Principle is defined in the US National Academies report Strategies to Renew Federal Facilities as follows:

“Mission Alignment: Mission alignment of resource prioritization requires the use of validated and verifiable metrics to link the relative importance of individual facility assets to agency missions and stakeholder performance expectations.”

The balance of this article will establish context, ISO 55000/1 alignment, AM Framework reduction, AM Framework implementation, and derived benefits from the Mission Alignment Principle.
