This digital first edition introduces SAMM – Sustainable Asset & Maintenance Management – as your structured entry point into a living, web-based reference on Asset & Maintenance Management in an Industry 5.0 context. It connects ISO 55000 and CEN/TC 319 standards with practical conceptual models such as the Asset Management BowTie, the A&MM Lemniscate and the P–C–R Trefoil Balance.
ISBN: 978-90-8339-890-7
This concise publication introduces the Value Chain Standardization Line of Sight, a practical bridge between the ISO 55000:2024 Asset Management standards and the CEN/TC 319 maintenance standards across the A&MM value chain. It shows how fragmented use of standards can be replaced by one coherent, auditable line of sight from objectives to field tasks. Readers are invited to explore the full digital article for detailed architecture, examples and implementation guidance.
ISBN: 978-90-8339-892-1
This concise summary presents the SSAMM Performance–Cost–Risk (P–C–R) Trefoil Balance as one integrated decision logic for Asset & Maintenance Management. Instead of vague trade-offs, each decision passes a trefoil gate where P, C or R is explicitly dominant within agreed performance, risk and cost thresholds. Grounded in ISO 55000:2024 and CEN/TC 319, it offers a clear, auditable structure and invites readers to explore the full digital article for theory, formulas and examples.

Asset Management Systems (AMS) are critical, yet many organisations lack clarity on what an AMS is, how it should be structured, and how it should govern asset lifecycles. This contribution proposes a standard-aligned approach for maintenance-intensive organisations. The framework is anchored in the ISO 55000:2024 series and harmonised with the CEN/TC 319 Maintenance Landscape, linking organisational strategy to execution. Maintenance standards such as EN 17007, EN 17485 and EN 17666 supply process structures and governance for a sustainable, risk-informed, data-driven AMS. Grounded in Industry 5.0 principles, the AMS becomes a strategic capability for complex, asset-intensive sectors.

In Industry 5.0, maintenance is a strategic, human-centric capability that underpins reliability, resilience and sustainability. The Maintenance Framework embeds maintenance within the Asset Management System by integrating the ISO 55000:2024 series with CEN/TC 319 standards, structurally linking the Strategic Asset Management Process (EN 17485) to the EN 17007 core maintenance processes. Supported by EN 17666, digital technologies (AI, digital twins, IoT) and the SSAMM Maintenance Assessor Tool, maintenance is positioned as a normative, standards-based and future-oriented discipline at the core of Asset Management.

Asset & Maintenance Management is evolving as technology and organisational needs change. ISO 55000:2024 frames the alignment of organisational strategy and operational activity, often illustrated by the lemniscate (∞) “line of sight”, which integrates vertical and horizontal alignment. Industry 5.0 and AI further strengthen this model through human–machine collaboration and advanced analytics, with the ISO 55000 series and the EFNMS Body of Knowledge providing the core reference frameworks.
The Strategic Maintenance Policy (SMP) is the execution-focused extension of the Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP): where the SAMP defines the value sought from assets, the SMP specifies how maintenance will realise and protect that value through principles, P–C–R trefoil thresholds, roles, decision rules, information requirements and assurance, expressed in one computable decision language for transparent Performance–Cost–Risk trade-offs. By integrating the ISO 55000:2024 series with core CEN/TC 319 maintenance standards, the SMP provides the essential basis for designing and governing maintenance in the organisation and for positioning maintenance policy as a clear, evidence-based extension of the SAMP.

Maintenance engineering has evolved from a technical function into a strategic enabler of organisational success in the Industry 5.0 era, ensuring reliable, efficient and sustainable asset performance. Using models such as the Asset Management Lemniscate and BowTie, and standards including EN 17007, EN 17485, EN 15628 and ISO 5500x:2024, maintenance is structured into Management, Realisation and Support processes, linked to the SAMP so that real-time insights feed back into strategy. As a result, maintenance engineering becomes a cornerstone of sustainable, strategic Asset Management rather than a narrow technical activity.

Industry 5.0 moves beyond technology-driven efficiency towards human-centric, sustainable and resilient value creation. In this context, Asset Management 5.0 and Maintenance Management 5.0 explore how advanced technologies (IoT, AI, digital twins and data-driven decision support) can enhance – not replace – human expertise. This learning journey connects Industry 5.0 principles with structured frameworks such as the Asset Management Lemniscate, the Asset Management BowTie and the Maintenance Framework, and aligns them with international standards for Asset & Maintenance Management. On the full page, the author shares how these concepts come together in one coherent Asset & Maintenance Management system, translating Industry 5.0 from an abstract vision into practical guidance for daily decisions.

In Industry 5.0, where human expertise and digital intelligence are combined, digital twins become a key enabler for Asset and Maintenance Management. The shift from static digital models to dynamic digital twins allows real-time representation of physical assets, supporting continuous monitoring, analysis, and informed decision-making across the asset lifecycle. When linked to the metaverse, these twins function as interactive virtual replicas, enabling remote supervision, scenario testing, and immersive collaboration.
Digital twins reduce operational and maintenance costs through early fault detection and predictive maintenance, improving reliability and extending asset life. At the same time, they open new possibilities for global collaboration and innovative business models, such as virtual inspections, training environments, and value-added digital services.

Industry 5.0, with its focus on human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience, is reshaping maintenance and asset management into Asset & Maintenance Management 5.0, where advanced technologies are combined with strategic human expertise. In this context, prEN15628:2025, “Qualification of Maintenance Personnel,” provides a core framework for defining maintenance roles, knowledge, competencies, and skills, aligned with EN17007 (maintenance processes) and the ISO 5500x:2024 asset management system standards.
This article outlines the four key maintenance roles defined in prEN15628:2025 and their required competencies, and explains how their integration with EN17007 and ISO 5500x:2024 supports future-proof maintenance and asset management. For further depth, see The Maintenance Framework or SAM, First Edition, available on our website.
