Asset management integrates technical, administrative, and operational approaches to ensure equipment fulfills its function throughout its life cycle. It involves planning, risk assessment, maintenance, integrity, optimization, and infrastructure renewal.
In the energy industry, effective management balances performance, cost, and risk. Globally, the discipline advances toward digital models, data analytics, and ISO 55000 frameworks, with strong adoption in the U.S. and Europe, and progressive expansion in LATAM.
