Developing and maintaining a Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) 2021 revision

The IAM is proud to announce the revision and release of our Developing and maintaining a Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP) guidance document – 

This publication provides practical advice for the development of a Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP). It explains the process of strategic planning and how this applies to:

• assets and their optimal, whole life cycle management
• improvements in the asset management capabilities of an organisation

The guidance is intended to complement the ISO 55000 standards, providing insight into the role and suitable content for a Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP), and how it should be developed. 

The SAMP is a planning tool to clarify intentions, priorities and practices to be adopted. It takes a long-term view and considers the combination of organisation needs, stakeholder expectations and the realities of existing assets and asset management capabilities.
