Says Adriaan Scheeres, CEO of Pragma: “We’re delighted with the level of entries this year. Managing operational assets to be a competitive advantage for companies is a hot topic amongst top management these days, and has been elevated by the current economic climate. In response to this challenge, Pragma launched the Pragma Physical Asset Management Awards Programme to enable enterprises to measure their current management practices against the soon to be released industry standard – the ISO 55 000. This allows companies to protect their asset base against deterioration, and ensure that assets perform optimally resulting in maximum output and service delivery. As an added benefit, we benchmark companies against each other, which gives investors and consumers confidence that the companies they deal with have a solid asset base.”
