PAS 55 and the ACC

What is PAS 55?
PAS 55 is the British Standards Institution's "Publicly Available Specification" for the optimized management of physical assets and infrastructure. It provides clear definitions and a 21-point requirements specification for joined-up, optimized and whole-life asset management systems.

Pragma has developed 17 asset management key performance areas (or KPA's) that are well supported by those suggested in PAS 55. We believe that if an organisation does well in these 17 areas they would be well down the road to physical asset management success or in other words, improved performance of physical assets. These 17 KPA's form the golden thread that you will notice throughout our partnerships with our clients.

These 17 KPA's include the following:

Strategy Management
Information Management
Technical Information
Organisation and Development
Contractor Management
Financial Management
Risk Management
Environment, Health and Safety
Asset Care Plans
Work Planning and Control
Operator Asset Care
Material Management
Support Facilities and Tools
