Terrence O'Hanlon's text introduces his upcoming paper, "ISO 55001 & Uptime Elements Alignment: A Management System Guide," which explores the relationship between the ISO 55001 standard for asset management and the Uptime Elements Reliability Framework. O'Hanlon, who contributed to the development of the ISO 55000 series, notes the low adoption rate of ISO 55001 compared to the more widely implemented Uptime Elements. He proposes the Uptime Elements Management System (UEMS) as an alternative or complementary framework, aligned with ISO's High-Level Structure, to help organizations integrate asset management within existing management systems like ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. The author seeks feedback on this alignment and provides actionable steps and questions for organizations considering formal management system approaches for reliability and asset management.
