ISO 55000 Asset Management in Theatre and Events

Keeping track of your assets is one thing. Using and looking after them effectively is where the real benefits come in.

What is ISO 55000?

ISO 55000 is a new international standard for asset management that helps you define your asset management behaviours, practices and process.

It is a best practice guide to consistently improving the way you utilise and maintain your equipment - efficiently reaching your strategic objectives.

How can I learn more?

Asset Management is a significant discipline that promises great rewards but in arts, theatre and live events the objectives can be more complex. Examples and case studies don't apply like they do in traditional asset intensive industries. Once you accept these limitations then Google is a great resource.
