ISO 55001 gap assessment and implementation roadmap for a global manufacturing group — covering asset data, maintenance practice, performance reporting and governance across multiple production sites.
The group was seeking to establish a consistent asset management standard across its global manufacturing estate, with ISO 55001 certification as the long-term objective. Leadership needed an objective assessment of current maturity across sites and a credible, costed roadmap to close the gaps.
Optimal conducted structured ISO 55001 gap assessments at a representative sample of production sites, covering the full spectrum of standard requirements. A consolidated gap analysis was produced at group level, with a phased implementation roadmap aligned to the certification timeline.
The group used the assessment findings to build the business case for the certification programme and secured executive sponsorship. The phased roadmap provided a structured path to certification that balanced site-level improvement with group-level standard-setting.
