Lead story: ISO 55001:2024 moves asset decisions closer to operating evidence
The second edition strengthens the connection between objectives, decision-making, data, risk, opportunity, planning, performance evaluation, and improvement.
Reliability DispatchMaterial changes in standards, maintenance work, reliability practice, products, and asset data.

The new guidance puts ownership, quality, fitness, access, use, and lifecycle management around the data that supports asset decisions.

SAE JA1011's 2024 revision keeps RCM a process claim—not a software label
The current recommended practice defines evaluation criteria for processes claiming to be reliability-centered maintenance.
ISO 17359 keeps predictive maintenance grounded in a monitoring program
General condition-monitoring guidance starts with assets, failure context, measurement, assessment, diagnosis, action, and review—not with an algorithm demo.
ISO 14224 gives failure and maintenance data a common language
Equipment taxonomy, failure events, causes, consequences, maintenance actions, resources, and downtime need controlled definitions before cross-site reliability analysis is credible.
SMRP's five pillars test the maintenance system beyond work orders
Business management, process reliability, equipment reliability, organization and leadership, and work management form a wider operating model than CMMS feature coverage.
DOE maintenance strategies show why one mode is not the program
Reactive, preventive, predictive, and reliability-centered approaches solve different problems and require a maintained mix grounded in asset consequence and evidence.
How the market is organized
Explore allA work order is a control record—not the maintenance outcome
Useful maintenance systems connect request, asset context, priority, planning, labor, materials, permits, execution, closeout, failure history, and follow-up. Status alone does not establish work quality or restored function.
Read the market record →PM compliance is not the same as failure prevention
Reliability programs connect criticality, functional failure, failure mode, strategy, operating context, task effectiveness, defect elimination, and learning. A high completion percentage can coexist with the wrong work.
Read the market record →An alert still needs diagnosis, decision, work, and verification
Monitoring becomes operational only when a signal can be traced to an asset, method, threshold, confidence, accountable reviewer, intervention, completed work, and confirmed result.
Read the market record →Asset investment joins service, risk, condition, cost, and time
Capital prioritization requires explicit asset identity, service consequence, uncertainty, lifecycle options, financial assumptions, constraints, and decision rights—not a health score presented as the answer.
